GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA: Purchase your favorite music rendition of Messiah and then pair it with my book as an inspirational gift for friends and family. Here are some samples of how to obtain the music: •One of my personal favorites is Handel:The Messiah by the London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra. I just purchased several on Amazon for $11.35 each. They also listed some new for $8.81 and used for $3.99. They also offer MP3 downloads for just a few dollars. •At the LDS Online Store, you can get the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with the Night Pro Symphony performance of Messiah for $12.00. •And I am delighted to have received a complete version I ordered on Amazon for $17.00. (Handel Messiah: The Complete Works by The Cambridge Singers and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra). I am excited to listen to this complete performance this Christmas season as I re-read my own book and reflect on the great truths of the gospel and of our Messiah. Description: Messiah, the title of one of the greatest musical oratorios of all time, likely brings thoughts of rejoicing and inspiration to your soul. George Frederick Handel was a gifted musician who was undoubtedly inspired from on high to compose this masterpiece of the life and ministry of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is told that Handel said of his work on Messiah, “I did think I did see all Heaven before me and the great God Himself.” This book will provide increased peace, joy, and inspiration as a companion to this noble performance. You will more deeply ponder and understand the message from the scriptural text of Messiah. Gospel teacher and author Reg Christensen comfortably shares scriptural insight of every verse of the libretto in the order it is presented. Learn more of the context and doctrine in some of these most profound verses of all scripture while enjoying the timeless music of your favorite Messiah performance. Greater understanding, light, and truth will only enhance your Messiah experience. May you, through your ponderings, come to better know the Lamb of God—for “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” (Revelation 5:12).
