Every believer knows the value of Bible reading. The most popular approach is to read through the Scriptures in a year.

My Thoughts on a Great Worship Album- “We Proclaim” by Ekklesia Music
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Ekklesia Music on January 18, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I’m a music lover, not a music critic. So when I want to review an album it is because I like it and want others to as well. Such is the case with We Proclaim by Ekklesia Music. It is a production of the music that Joshua Spacht has written and arranged for Grace Immanuel [...]
