Valley of Vision set to music CD!!! YES!!!!
"For years we have wanted to record a CD of songs inspired by the classic book of Puritan prayers, The Valley of Vision. Our hopes are finally being realized. Scheduled for release at WorshipGod06 (see above), Valley of Vision attempts to capture some of the biblical richness, passionate zeal, and gospel focus of these prayers.
Valley of Vision is still in production, and is scheduled to be released in August at our WorshipGod06 conference.
Someone might ask, "Why produce a CD inspired by the prayers of a bunch of dead guys?" That's an easy one. Puritans like John Bunyan, Thomas Watson, Richard Baxter, and Isaac Watts knew their hearts, their Bibles, and their God much better than we do. Many of them wrote down their prayers not to be published, but to assess their own spiritual growth and to encourage themselves in times of spiritual dryness. These prayers reveal a personal, humble, passionate relationship with an awesome God, a living Savior, and an active Spirit. Reading their meditations inspires us to pursue the same level of reality as we worship God.
The songs on Valley of Vision draw from these prayers at various levels and in various ways. Some use a few phrases from a specific prayer, others develop a particular idea, and a few try to capture the original flow of thought, using many of the original words."
