Product Description

Music to His Ears is an inspirational study using as a foundation the biblical scriptures Psalms 100:2 and Exodus 28:35. The premise is taken from the instruction to come before the presence of God with singing. Emphasis is placed on music and its significance to The Most Holy God. Discussion is given to the connection of music and receiving answer to prayer. Biblical passages are visited that address more than thirty specific categories (i.e. healing, finances, depression, etc.) referencing music. Beginning with the origin of music and the fall of Lucifer, the crux is established by paralleling Old Testament Tabernacle rituals to receiving entrance into the Most Holy Place through musical worship. In addition, the worth of musical choirs, orchestras, leadership and organizational requirement, mastery, expertise and levels of hierarchy is addressed. Finally, musical form and structure are included with recognition given to the "Great Musical Masters," of the Bible. Kathryn Hancock has been a church pianist for more than thirty years and a piano teacher for more than twenty. She received a degree from Luther Rice Seminary, Lithonia, GA and furthered her studies with St. Leo University, San Antonio, Fl, becoming certified in elementary education. She has been a long time Sunday school teacher, ladies conference speaker and has written and recorded songs as well as a Christmas children's musical. Kathryn had the wonderful experience of growing up in Peru with missionary parents who spent more than forty years in that country. Her passion for music and the love of the piano resulted in a college music class essay. She was encouraged by her professor to delve further into musical biblical study. Her desire is for readers to capture, realize and incorporate into daily lives, the Holy Spirit power worship coupled with music can provide.
