I would like you to know how much our family loves your cd's.
We have all 4 of them. I think they are wonderful and I have told as many people who will listen about them! My children want to listen to them all the time...in the car, during the day, while they are going to sleep...and they are constantly humming or singing the songs to themselves. It has been a wonderful way to incorporate scripture into our daily lives and also a fabulous addition to our catechism teaching. Thank you so much! We will definitely be buying any new volumes that come out! In Christ, -Marie S.
Dana Dirksen is an everyday word in our home, and van.
Not a day goes by that our daughter doesn't request one of her CD's. Listening to Dana sing is a great pleasure, but listening to our daughter sing her songs and spill forth Scripture is priceless! -Sharon
THANK YOU! I just received your CDs and I think they are outstanding!
I can only beg you to keep up the good work. Please consider doing more - scripture memory songs and the Westminster Shorter Catechism. I know we will be using these not only in our family but also in our church. God bless. -Mark Jenkins, Pastor, Providence OPC
"WE LOVE DANA!! But because of Dana, we love Jesus even more today than
yesterday!!"
To be able to turn on music that instrumentally lifts your
emotions and then textually turns your thoughts to truth is an immeasurable
gift!! I am so thankful that you are offering that discount for bulk orders
because I am seriously planning on stocking my "baby gift" bag with your
work!! May God allow you to continue this project AND bless your own
children daily!! -Jessica
Refreshing and reformed, this mother of five says, "Thanks Dana!"
We were surprised to hear about your CD's from a friend at church. . .we thought we owned all the children's catechism music. The music is parent-friendly, and my kids (all 5) love it. My husband and I consider it a wonderful tool to compliment our homeschool curriculum. Thanks much! - Carol
"These CDs are a wonderful blend of sound theology, God's word (including Scripture references!), and children's music that even adults will enjoy."
Our kids love them, and so do the families in our church. If you or your kids think "catechizing" is a scary word, you should get these CDs. - Rev. Dave, Mt. Vernon, Washington
"Awesome! We love it! Doctrinally correct, great words, good fun music!!!"
We borrowed the first cd and loved it, so we decided to buy both of them. I love the addition of musical instruments. The children singing is precious. The doctrine is perfect; and I love that you use accurate terminology. We are so blessed to have this cd. Thanks a ton!!! - Carrie
"We love Dana's 'Songs for Saplings'."
Our parents of young children in the church have really enjoyed using the CD's to help their kids sink roots into the faith. Keep them coming! - Rev. Charles, Lawrenceville, Georgia
"Suburban mom's minivan sanity music for wannabe good kids."
Dana’s music has really impacted our WHOLE family. Her music, and especially the lyrics, are far superior than your typical “kids’ praise/worship music” with substantial Scriptural backing. It has become a witnessing tool for our children when we pick up kids for school, lessons, or basketball. My minivan is the Christian "Partridge Family" bus, only with "saplings"! I wish I was as musical, but at least in my minivan, I control the dial :-) -B. Bunch
"If you believe Christian doctrine is aesthetically beautiful and a prized treasure for the Christian, having Dana's music swirling in your child's mind and pouring out of their lips is a great comfort to a parent."
One listen and my children were singling their faith! I know that, presently, children's curricular music is either playful, skillful, or instructional, but rarely all three. Dana's music reaches my children in a way that brightens their faces and brings forth laughter, admiration, and wisdom. Like other dads, I want my children to appreciate the Church's doctrine, but I want them to do so with joy and delight and the expectation that here lies the wisdom of life. Dana's music succeeds marvelously!
Oliver Sacks (of Musicophilia) contends that music has the power to animate the human mind in a unique and encompassing way. Dana's music enlivens a child's entire mind with Gospel-centered richness that centers them on the cross and propels them into their Christian walk, singing along the way! - Rev. John, Portland, Oregon
"My children love your music!"
They have learned so many Bible verses and Bible concepts through listening to your music, and can't stop singing and dancing to it! Our family has been so blessed by your gift of spreading Gods word through music. Thank you! - Becky
"Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful gift of music & wisdom!"
Our family has enjoyed learning scripture with Songs for Saplings. I'm so amazed at how God is planting truth in their hearts at such a tender age. It certainly helps create many loving "teachable moments" with our boys! Everyone who has heard the album has loved it and asked for your information - or received it as a gift from us! What a sweet way to encourage the greater body of Christ. Thanks for your encouragement and willingness to share a love of God's word & music with His children. Many blessings on you & your household. -Calyn
