Most people have heard excerpts from Handel's Messiah, or have listened to the entire masterpiece. Composed in only 22 days and using only Scripture as text this is a magnificent piece of music and a great way to learn God's Word and get it into your heart that you may sing the glories of our Great God as you go.
As a child I listened to my dad's 3 album set and if it was not worn out from listening it was very close. I can safely say that I listened to the entire work more than a hundred times.
Today as I read through my own copy of God's Word it is fun to see those texts scattered throughout both the Old and New Testaments. I would encourage you to get a good copy of this work and listen to it with your family, if not the entire year, at least at Christmas. That would be a good way to change the culture in your family.
I can give you a source for a GOOD copy.
