I've been in ministry for as long as I can remember. I believe it all started when my mother made me play the piano for choruses for Sunday school when I could barely pick out the melody lines to the songs! But music opened many doors for me and helped me to overcome many obstacles in life. Now after 42 years of ministry serving in upstate NY, PA, Ohio and Maine, I can see God's faithfulness through the years, starting from that very first time I sat at a piano bench, or picked up a guitar. I pray the songs in this book will be used to draw you closer to the Lord as James reminds us, "as we draw near unto God, He will draw near to us". James 4:8.
