Well, this week I got everything uploaded for the paperback and a proof copy is scheduled to be mailed to me for review by 3.16!
One of the books’ cool features is a suggested song playlist that you can create using Spotify, iTunes, etc.. Or you can enjoy all but one of the songs for free on this playlist on YouTube created by a friend.
Again, this is from Appendix 2:
“If one happened to consult the pages of some poet, who was singing (and thinking) of quite other matters, the eye often fell on the verse quite extraordinarily relevant to the matter in one’s own mind.”[1]
—Saint Augustine (354-430 AD)
Martin Luther once said that music was “the handmaiden of theology.” In synch with that, I hope that the following eclectic playlist not only aides in your own healing journey but also reinforces the best concepts in the book. The list represents three hours of music: all the songs mentioned in the book—mostly in order—plus a few additional ones that seemed “quite extraordinarily relevant” to the topics at hand. Enjoy!
