Soundtrack for Silent Shades

I think it’s fun when authors share their musical inspiration for any given novel. Amanda Hocking is famous for doing this very thing. I (a lot less famously) did it withNight Bells.Now, I present my soundtrack forSilent Shades!

As a Christian of the protestant, gentile variety, it was very informative to read this book about Jesus’ Jewish life and what it means for our Christian walk in modern times.
