“God is at home. We are in the far country.”
Meister Eckhart

“I read that quote in an Annie Dillard book several years ago and it never left me. Too often we tend to imagine that heaven is a cotton-white cloudscape, a place that doesn’t seem desirable to us here in this sometimes beautiful, sometimes horrifying world. We’re comfortable here, and the skewed notion we have of eternity is that it’s like a never-ending church service, where we’ll be standing mindlessly around a throne, singing bad praise songs to a white haired God for the rest of our existence. From what I know about God, what I’ve read of Him in scripture and what I’ve seen of Him in what has been made – towering mountains, howling wind, purple budded trees, a baby’s touch and a panther’s roar – He is not a tame God. The City He’s prepared for us is not a retirement home. Zion is not a country club. Death is but the cusp of a great adventure, hinted at in Hebrews 11, ‘People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own…they were longing for a better country – a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.’ The songs on this record were born out of a longing for that better country, and it’s my hope that whoever listens to them will feel that God-given flutter in the stomach that reminds us who we are – and where we’re bound.”

Special guests include Jill Phillips and Andy Osenga of Caedmon’s Call.

The true tall tale of the coming of Christ.

This is a recorded version of a concert that tells the story of Christ through song.

What makes this bunch of songs unique is that they remind (or teach) the audience that the story of Christmas doesn’t begin with the birth of Jesus.

From songs about the birth of Moses, to the prophesies to the announcement of Christ, to songs about the Passover.

It’s the power of the Gospel story that’s being told, in a new way.

This album helps to truly prepared to celebrate the Christmas season for what it’s really worth.

Guest musicians include Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, Caedmon’s Call and Jill Phillips.
