The remarkable story of the life of Johann Sebastian Bach, told from a Christian perspective, for Christian children. This eBook is wholesome and entertaining. Your child will learn as much about the making of fine music as about Bach's fascinating life. Both the child and the adult reader will come away enlightened and inspired. Most all modern stories about Bach leave out any reference to God's own hand upon the man, and Bach’s personal struggles in front of that God. It is sadly a strange omission by our secular pop culture, as Bach purposefully wrote soli deo gloria ("to God alone be the glory"). This book fills out that part of the story, true to its real history. This is a short story with a lingering joy afterwards. The prospect of listening to Bach's music for a lifetime, now from an enlarged point of view, makes that joy complete.The Secretary to Christopher Parkening wrote, after listening to the companion audio CD of the history of Bach: "We really enjoyed listening to it, and learned some things we didn't know before about this great musician and man of God.”
