The album was recorded by Mark Schiffelbein and Mike Mierau at Whitefield Studio in Santa Ana and at Pakaderm Studio in Los Alamitos, California; with John Andrew Schreiner producing and arranging.

John and I have labored together for almost 10 years now and over 1000 concerts. My calling has been to speak primarily with words; his through music. His cello has communicated to so many who are beyond my words. How good it is to hear him “speak” now in his own special way by means of these sacred melodies. – Michael Card [Note featured in the album insert]
