Sacred Strains of Praise by Michael Parker and Michael Shoemaker

In this busy, fast-paced, complex, and oftentimes troubled existence, our experiences can make us cynical, discouraged, and even unbelieving; making it easy for our connection with God and His Son, Jesus Christ to wane. Sacred Strains of Praise is a collection of spiritual poetry and beautiful photography that not only helps the reader find or restore our association with God and yoke us with Christ, but through reading examples of how others glorify God and praise Jesus, we too will find the desire to worship the divine. Indeed, this collection contains the stories, psalms, and celebrations of our lives that honor God and reverence Jesus. Join the authors, Michael Parker and Michael Shoemaker, on an odyssey as they search for God, dictate the experiences of life's journey and discover Jesus through personal and others' spiritual experiences. Within these pages, you will find yourselves transported, touched, enriched, and inspired.
