Transcendent Gospel: (Gospel on a whole new level) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781630507732)

ABOUT THIS BOOK:
This book contains my repertoire of forty seven Gospel and Inspirational songs that were written over a period of several years - 1997 through 2018 to be exact. All were created spontaneously - there's never any planning. I go about my daily life, and occasionally I would see, hear, read or perceive something that strikes me as a good concept for a song. My mind goes into overdrive and a song is born. I refrain from presuming anything on the Holy Ghost, but when I'm creating, words and ideas come to mind that seem foreign to my regular thought pattern. A cursory review of my work will reveal that no effort is spared in my song creating. I use the word creating rather than writing because lyrics and melodies are generated simultaneously. My hope is that many would be edified and encouraged by these songs, and that they be used as an evangelistic tool!
