Nathan Tasker has just released a Christmas album. I just ordered 10 to give away. And I'll get my church to order 20 to sell on our new bookstall.
Nathan says:
I love Christmas. I love Christmas music. I have always wanted to record some songs that should be listened to at Christmas time, helping us to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, and preparing our hearts to hear the story of the coming of Jesus.
Admittedly, it felt a little strange singing Christmas songs in July and August! But then again, it was summer time in Nashville, and I am used to Christmas occurring in the summer (back in Sydney), so it was a little familiar too.
I found that reflecting on the Christmas story, months before the Christmas season, allowed me to step back and see the beauty and wonder of the Christmas message. The promise that God would save His people finally comes to pass in the birth of a baby boy, His Son, Jesus. The angels can’t help but sing! The shepherds can’t help but leave their flocks to find Him (the one who would soon call Himself the Good Shepherd)! The wise kings can’t help but bow down before this child King.
God is with us.
Stop. Now. Get out your Credit Card.
And buy them -- 1 for $12. You can buy 5 for $50.
It's a no-brainer.

I wish he'd venture into a more Metallica style Christmas...
lol, vt.
No-brainer is right. I might need to get more than 5.
Just placed an order!
Thanks for introducing me (and Christ Church NYC) to Nathan's music. Great stuff.
Lovely to see you and the family here last week, albeit with my crew out of action with flu (which thankfully has passed, but hopefully not passed to you!).
