Product Description

From Mary, the mother of Jesus, to our own mothers, moms have always been celebrated in word and song.

Sheldon Cohen, the producer of ACTA’s popular series of devotional CDs, here offers two CDs, one of hymns to Our Lady and the other stories and songs about mothers from the popular culture. He directs members of the Pacific Pops Orchestra and the New Horizon Singers, with soloists Suzie Penney and Mike Barger.

The four heartfelt remembrances of mothers on the second CD were written by these authors and read by professional actors whose names follow in parentheses:

•“M Is for the Many Things” by Alyce M. McKenzie (read by Echaka Agba)

•“The Woman Never Sleeps!” by Patrick Hannon, CSC (read by Brennan Roche)

•“The Christmas Stocking” by James Behrens, OCSO (read by Abby Pierce)

•“The Wind Beneath Our Feet” by Gregory F. Augustine Pierce (read by Rich Holton)
