Dan Forrest has been writing some nice things for several years. Recommended are some of these recent works:
- Never a Brighter Star w/orchestra, Beckenhorst Press
- How Firm a Foundation w/orchestra, Hinshaw Music
- O God Beyond All Praising [w/string orchestration], soon to be published!
- Be Thou My Vision w/harp & cello, Hal Leonard/Brookfield Press
- Good Christian Men, Rejoice! (Christmas, 4-hand piano, very rhythmic and fun), Hal Leonard/Brookfield Press
Sometimes we lack the initiative to speak out and encourage other good and godly musicians, like a Dan Forrest, or a Mac Lynch, and the list could go on... Maybe it's someone who has little notoriety, but has been faithful to God and the local church for a good period of time. Sometimes these people, though very positive, get little or no encouragement from others. I would urge you to take a moment of time, identify that kind of musician in your life and encourage them today! Sometimes it only takes a few words to say volumes! Don't underestimate the power of your words: Pro 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
Wishing you God's best & blessings,
Troy
