Songs of Maureen Pranghofer performed by various artists: Billy Steele • Chryss Peter • Dan Adler • Joe Rogness • Kathleen Johnson • Kenny Passmore • Nancy Ellis • Norm Blagman • Robert Robinson • Sara Renner • Stephanie Pauline “This album is a testimony of the faithfulness of God,” says songwriter Maureen Pranghofer. “It’s a testimony of His ability to take what the world views as tragic and make it beautiful.” It was out of a 1996 car accident that left Maureen Pranghofer totally blind and in a wheelchair that this album was born. Maureen and her husband Paul, who have been married over 30 years, share their experiences in song, humor and a message that is uniquely theirs. “It is difficult to say thank you to everyone who worked on this project because I lack the words to express my gratitude,” Maureen explains. “The Lord is so good in His marvelous provision. This is a love project for Him that so many people made possible.” Maureen adds, “This album is dedicated to Dan Adler who taught me to write songs for the Lord and to Tracy McCarrell and Dan Morgan who ran their race in a way that inspired and encouraged me.” “There are many others I would like to thank, especially: TIM — Your ability to not only play drums but to arrange and engineer the songs on this album is incredible. And that God would allow me to work with you has been an extraordinary gift. SARA — When I think of you, I am so very grateful to God for allowing me the privilege of knowing someone with your vocal abilities who is at the same time so humble and God honoring. Without your leadership, this project would not have been possible and I have been so very blessed to have been able to work with you. JOAN — Your warmth and skill as an artist and ability to give me a sense of what things look like even though I don’t see them has been wonderful. Thank you.” Tim wishes to thank: My Lord Jesus —for your many blessings, inspiration and protection. Maureen —your wonderful heart, talent and humor have blessed me tons! Sara Renner —for your many talents, creative input, organization and laughter. The very talented players and singers who helped breathe life into these songs —I am so honored to have worked with you all! Matthew Zimmerman of Wild Sound —for your incredible skills, positive vibe and big ears. Jim Ryberg of Tritone —for your flexibility, encouragement and openness. Rich and Brent of Fuzzy Slippers —for making me feel comfortable and welcome and for going above and beyond. I love you guys! The Leone family —for allowing me to be a part of your household. (Cee Cee, did you remember to feed the dog?) A440 and Trailmix —for accommodating us at such short notice. All my friends and family —for believing in me! Your prayers and words of encouragement were gifts of faith that strengthened and challenged me. Sara wishes to thank: Maureen & Paul —I am so honored to be a part of a project that so reflects God’s sense of justice and redemption. I admire and love you both. Tim —I am amazed and proud of what you have accomplished on this album! Getting to share this with you has been a true joy for me. Joan —your artistry and generous heart have so often blessed me. I am again grateful to have worked with you. To all the singers and musicians —you’ve blessed this project and you bless me whenever I get to spend time with you and create together!
