This is the first Christmas CD ever by the smooth worship leader whose numerous albums were major sellers for Integrity Music. Here the veteran singer and pianist delivers Christmas holiday classics and new Christmas tunes to share the glorious message of the hope we have because indeed Christ the Savior and Lord was born. After the opener "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" the album moves to other evergreens like "Joy To The World," "Agnus Deo/O Come Let Us Adore Him" and the modern classic "Mary, Did You Know?" Throughout Don is accompanied by the famed Prague Symphony to create a warm atmosphere. If you are looking for a beautifully produced record which by no means shies away from the powerful message of the incarnation deftly executed with piano-driven balladry, look no further than 'Christmas: A Season Of Hope'.
