“The Healing Power of Jesus” by Marie de Haan
Back in February, I put my lucky socks on, and entered the recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee, for the second time. I’m kidding about the socks. I don’t believe in luck. What I do believe in is the healing power of Jesus. The first time I entered that studio, I […]
