Songs From the Wilderness

The songs on this cd were written and recorded over a period of two years. Some people go into the wilderness and never come out. Other people go in and come out again, but they come out changed. Every song here is a landmark of sorts representing the struggles, the victories, the losses , the gains , and always ... the changes experienced in the wilderness. It is a place of stark reality, uncompromising in its testing. But oh, the treasure to be found if one can trust and believe. Moses found it when he chose to suffer affliction with the people of God rather than the treasures of Egypt. Joseph found it in a prison. Elijah in a cave. The treasure is a man. He is Jesus Christ.

So give a listen. If your heart is drawn to Him, there is treasure to be found. For where your heart is, so too is your treasure.
