You are welcome :)

Yes, I know :D I was introduced to John Michael Talbot's music 26 or 27 years ago, and though I was not a Christian at the time, very much appreciated it: the gentleness, the seeking, the longing.. and of course, the musicianship :) I was just thinking about this, how somewhat wide-ranging my musical tastes are, for at the same time as I was falling in love with his music, I was still rockin' out to U2's Achtung Baby LOL. As to literature, I have read a lot over many years, but perhaps not much in the genre you may be looking for. One of my favorite authors is Anne Rice, and it may strike some people strange that I would recommend the first five books of her vampire chronicles to any Christian or seeker, but she used her characters in those novels to explore and express her own questions and concerns about faith, philosophy, morality, and God. With profundity and great soul-searing anguish, I might add. I have read those five books a number of times :geek:

If you would like any modern praise and worship recommendations, I would be happy to oblige :cool:
I have listened to michael talbot for a long time.!

One of my favs is the Gettys:
