Songs in the Desert

hroughout the struggles of life and in times of great love and joy, many people are affected emotionally by music. The Bible and popular music are the subjects of this book, which tries to make sense out of life’s complexities-work, relationships, family, -politics, and religion-through the contemporary music of today. Music touches us at our deepest emotional level. It comforts our sorrows, reminds us of old memories and specific times in the past, and makes us smile or cry. As humans, we encounter numerous temptations, go through many dark experiences, and want answers to life’s dilemmas. David Currie describes these experiences as deserts -places and times when we feel alone, scared, and hopeless. Songs in the Desert uses music and the Bible to help people who are trapped in broken relationships, deception, isolation, shattered dreams, materialism, anger, pride, and many other human frailties that are the deserts of our soul.
