Worship in the Beauty of Holiness

An underlying motivation for my writing this book flows from a desire to understand God and His divine creation. We can only marvel that the genesis of God's work In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1) has endured throughout the world today, even amid the evil and devastation around us.

I have sought to return to the 'beginning' to research the human journey in order to discover the many people who have worked to bring goodness, love, and advancement through their discoveries to countless lives throughout the ages.

Commencing at the beginning, I became aware that the Pentateuch revealed to me a relationship with the world as we know it today. These five books, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, together with other biblical references, completely cover the works of God and His creativity from prior to our existence to the present age.

One can be in awe at human endeavour and achievements from Creation to the present time! These questions could be asked: How could we mortals have created so many amazing edifices with such primitive tools? How could artists paint amazing pictures and mosaics throughout the centuries, with such a limited palette? How is it that the great works of literature and epic writings from prior to the invention of the printing press survived, not only during the period of Creation, and that much is still around for all to enjoy today?

I will seek to address these questions and many more as I explore the breathtaking musical achievements that have taken place throughout the ages.
