Welcome to Paraclete Collaborative!
- Creating Space for the Voice of God -
What began as a home for my original songs and hymn arrangements has expanded to include writings, and Scripture readings and audiobooks with music. As you explore these creative gifts from God, I pray that you will encounter His voice and be drawn closer to Him.
NEW ON WEBSITE: dropdown menus for Albums, Playlists, Scripture Readings, and Audiobooks tabs/pages
NEW ON HOMEPAGE: indexes with links to search by Song Title, Scripture Reading, or Audiobook Title
Most recent releases can be found below, and the complete musical collection is organized by Albums and Playlists. Personal sharing and musical reflections are avaiilable in both audio and written formats, and audio Scripture Readings with musical background include several Old Testament passages, as well as the complete book of Psalms and full New Testament. Instrumental/Accompaniment musical tracks are also available for purchase. Please subscribe to receive updates.
