Amera's piano recital is tomorrow evening! She is learning many of the songs from the songbook by Emily Black (Chuck Black's daughter).
I decided to invite her to share a little about where the song "The Final Call" comes from.
My mom found these books online one day while shopping for textbooks. "The Kingdom" series, written by Chuck Black, is a creative, medieval allegory to the Bible. There is also "The Knights of Arrethtrae" series, which was written to illustrate present day battles of the Christian life. If anything, I was very impressed with the cover art, and since I'm always on the lookout for good Christian literature, I decided to try it out. We ordered the first three audio books of the "Knight's" series and planned on listening to one of them on a trip to Florida. We fully enjoyed the quality of the multi-voice dramatization, music, and especially the message of the story itself. I personally have read the entire "Kingdom" series in paperback form, and even without the audio, the action was so vivid and creative that I enjoyed them immensely!
We also own all six audio books in the "Knights of Arrethtrae" series. This song that I play in the video is from the very last book,"Sir Rowan and the Camerian Quest."

Thank you, Amera. It makes the piece come alive when you know the story behind it. Also, for the information on the books. Always looking for something new for our grandchildren.
