There have been times in my life when I felt I was experiencing "midnight" - financial setbacks, arguments with family members, or a myriad of other "important at the time" crises. But on Monday, August 7, 1995, these false midnights paled in comparison to the words, "Roger, it's cancer, and it doesn't look good." The doctor's voice on the telephone was pleasant, caring, and professional - not at all the type of voice you might associate with what I considered a death sentence. It was 3:00 in the afternoon on beautiful summer day, but in my heart, it was midnight. -- ROGER BENNETTThis collection of worshipful piano solos was born in the "midnight" of Roger Bennett's bout with cancer, and features introspective settings of beloved hymns underscoring the theme of God's presence and comfort. Bennett's battle with leukemia ended in March of 2007 when he went home to be with our Lord. Hear Roger's heart-felt renderings of these songs below, at Audio Preview

In "Fernando's Birds," he takes the reader from the bosques, canyons and mountains of his native New Mexico to the Florida swamps to assemble something akin to a family album of birds.

These images, coupled with his witty, sometimes poignant observations and tales, will keep you smiling as you turn each page. Best known for his work as a songwriter, singer, composer, and arranger of Christian music, Fernando Ortega here shows his reverence for and delight in the wondrous creatures who share our world.

Each chapter of "Hymns of Christian Commitment" celebrates the lyrics to hymns about a person's commitment to God, provides information about the author, and offers reflections about what it means to put God first. Jesus emphasized the word first when he encouraged his followers to "Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness" (Matthew 6:33). What is Christian commitment? Following Jesus becomes a choice of life priorities. It is a decision to put God first. There can be a second, third, and many more priorities, but God is chosen first to claim our attention, time, gifts, creativity, and sacrifice. It is a death, of sorts, of our old self but a rebirth of our new self, in him. "Hymns of Christian Commitment" contains some of the hymns, stories, and messages of those who sing songs like "Take my life, and let it be, Consecrated, Lord, to Thee." These hymns constitute the music of those who would invite God into the heart and treat God as an honored guest.Other books about hymns written by John Zehring include "Music of the Spheres: Hymns on Loving and Tending the Earth," "Hymns of Peace," and "Be Still My Soul: Soothing Hymn Meditations."
