Just to let you know that I have just put up a new music video on my Ishmaels Music YouTube channel. Have you subscribed yet? Little Man The story Jesus told about the wise man who built his house upon the rock and the foolish man who built his house upon the sand. Great fun song.

As most of you know, I am at present involved in two writing projects that are very different and I pray for Gods inspiration and guidance as I daily set my mind on both.

Both song and albums can be downloaded from Ish’s shop on his website www.ishmael.org.uk.

Scripture Praise Party in 1987 and Bible Belters in 1996. I am now wondering, 24 years later, if it’s now time to do another Scripture Song album…. or maybe there is no longer the need for these short simple songs.I am planning that…
