Blending word and carols, The Night of the Child CD offers a spiritual feast and oasis this Advent season.
Author Robert Benson reads highlights from his book The Night of the Child with musical interludes provided by Carol McClure, master harpist and composer. Benson and McClure's moving collaboration relates Christ's birth as inspired by scripture and the Nativity collection of The Upper Room Chapel and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
The poignant text and exalting music recount the story of the Incarnation and how it shapes our lives — especially as we prepare our hearts for the night of the Child in the midst of seasonal busyness. (Hear sample Real Audio files by clicking the links under List of Tracks.)
