For years, much of the Church indirectly taught children to put on fake smiles, sing songs, raise their hands and then go home. The young peoplelearned the songs, but never learned to live out the truths the songsconveyed. The songs on Praise are different. These songs, written from the heart about real life, will help young people connect to the truths of the Gospel. These songs communicate God's deep, unconditional love for each of us and will help young people learn to praise God in all circumstances, even really difficult ones. While the CD is meant to be a ministry tool on its own, the truths it contains are best learned and applied by leaders using the companion Praise Leader's Manual.
