Every book of the Bible is of major importance. However, there are two books that stand out from the rest. These books are Genesis and Revelation. Genesis is the Bible's introduction, and Revelation is the Bible's conclusion. Genesis tells us how all things began. Revelation tells us how all things will end.

The Lord gave me two hundred songs. Not only did God want me to hear and sing these songs but He wanted His words manifested in my life.

When Jim Sayre was a totally blind child growing up in Zanesville, Ohio, in the 1940s and '50s, blind children were typically steered into occupations caning chairs or tuning pianos.

History, literature, and music for centuries have given us examples of falls from grace, tragedies, and fatal flaws.
