MY COMMENTS
The music on this CD is a lot like the style of the Back To The Bible Musicians recording that I have been playing on the station for over a year. Tom Fettke and Billy Ray Hearn have been doing music for a lot of years. Their musical arrangements have been played on many Christian Radio station over these many years.

The message inside the CD cover reads...
"The Bells Are ringing
People are singing
Angels say with joy
'Jesus is born'!

There in a manger
He was no stranger
Prophesied, now arrived,
'Jesus Is Born'!'"

These celebrative words from a contemporary Christmas song once again tell of the great event which literally thousands of carols and hymns have been written about for over 2000years.

There are many stories inside the one big story of the birth of the Christ child in a manger. The ancient prophets, King Herod, the wise men, the shepherds and the angels, Joseph and Mary, the journey and the inn keeper

For centuries these little "sub plots" have been chronicled by carols written by famous but many times unknown composers. Not only do these carols remind us of the sacred event but of the many wonderful and warm feelings the season brings with its family gatherings and exchanging of gifts.

Hopefully this collection of 42 hymns and carols will bring to your mind and heart the message of nostalgia of the season as well as the reason.
