Book Excerpts:
“When we consider how greatly music has impacted our personal histories,
our identities, and even our spiritual experiences, we realize the miracle of music
should not stop impacting our lives, ever…no matter what challenges we may face.”
“To see this dear woman emerge from a mostly silent place and vacant expression to a place of animation, speech, melody, movement, and connection was a glimpse of the miraculous, of spirituality transcending physicality. Music was the spark that brought Mary back to her life.”
“Because I know music possesses such miraculous influence, and I see God using it to reach people that seem unreachable, I have learned to trust the music and what God can do with it more than I trust what I can see.”
“…meaningful music is most powerful and has its greatest impact when shared.”
“…And then the aide began to cry. We looked at each other, both feeling the wonder of the moment. It was one of my many “chills” moments when I know God is present and working in His miraculous way inside someone.”
“In life’s most desolate hour, music is there to comfort, to take us to a happier place and time, and maybe to help us cry, carrying away some of our agony in our tears.”
“Music’s miraculous ability to bridge diversity and break barriers is a gift we can enjoy and also give away. It is a universal language, despite our varying dialects or our lack of ability to speak at all.”
“This is one of my central messages to the readers of this book – if you have an opportunity to bring meaningful music to your loved one, do it now. If you have the chance to hold hands and smile, even dance together as you recall a warm memory a special song evokes, do it now. If you can make meaningful music part of the care you give your loved one, you will both be refreshed and will connect again and again on a deeper level. You may even witness a small miracle – but are any miracles “small”?
The POWER of MUSIC + The POWER of LOVE + The POWER of GOD = MIRACLES
SHARE THE MIRACLE!
