Get Joel's New Piano Music for Christmas: "Midwinter Carols"Advent starts this Sunday, December 1! If you're thinking that's too soon, you need some good music to warm your spirit in preparation for Christmas. Joel's new collection of 10 piano arrangements of familiar English carols and hymns, and original compositions, will be the perfect soundtrack for the season for your family. Enjoy traditional tunes such as The Sussex Carol, The Conventry Carol, and I Saw Three Ships, as well as three original compositions by Joel for this project. It's not yet available as a CD, but you can purchase and download it from CD Baby or iTunes. This is Joel's fourth collection of original piano instrumentals, all of which are also available online. For those who don't know, Joel, 27, is now a musician in Los Angeles, doing orchestrations and film scoring, and creating original choral compositions for churches. You can read an interview with Joel about his album on Sally's I Take Joy blog (click here).

 

 
10 Gifts of Wisdom: Now Available in Paperback"Excellence of character comes only through rigorous training, instruction, and practice. Every parent wants their child to grow up into a vibrant, gracious, competent adult, yet few today have a vision for cultivating those traits in their children. Giving children moralistic rules and policing their behavior is not enough to captivate their imagination in such a way that they will want to be men and women of strong character. They need vision."

~ Sally Clarkson

 

The ebook version of 10 Gifts of Wisdom has been flying off the digital shelves since it's release, and now there is a paperback version for those who prefer holding the book they're reading. It's available on Amazon.com for $11.95, in addition to the $4.99 ebook version. If you have children at home, this book is filled with commonsense and biblical wisdom about the kinds of wisdom gifts you want to be sure you impart to your children before they leave your home.
