To being this journey An overview of a Book that I have not had the opportunity to read yet, but very well shall in the near future Then I am offering two of my favorite inspirational songs
Ask It by Andy Stanley
This is a book that looks at how we struggle to be honest, forthright and open to the process of transformation from living in the world and following the spiritual path of being positive and uplifting one and other.
How we say to ourselves that it is too difficult and turn away. But Andy Stanley then give us positive examples of how we can move toward living a more positive path in life.
He makes reference to Paul's letter to the Ephesians and shows how Paul gave examples of how to be spiritual in a world of temptation and mistrust.
As I said this is an overview because I have only scanned the book, I hope to read it more fully and give you more details in each chapter of the book.
No onto the music. This features two songs, or one song with a current addition that makes it more contemporary.
The first is the original song Amazing Grace, which has had numerous variations over the years, everything from Judy Collins, Aretha Franklin, The Three Tenors, Elvis Presley Meryle Streep and Celtic Women among many others.
To start off with, here is a version of Amazing grace sung in Hawaiian
Next is an instrumental version by Pipers of the World. This is unique because it not only has bag pipers but also Drummers. You will be astonished and may even cry a bit by the time this version is over.
A country version by Glen Campbell
Next to last a version in Hebrew
have you seen or heard the AMAZING GRRCE musical? I love the testimony song and "noewhere left to run".
