SINGER, SONGWRITER AND THEOLOGIAN MICHAEL MILTON SPEAKS AT FAMILY BIBLE CONFERENCE
Seminary President Sings and Preaches During Event In NC Mountains
Charlotte, N.C. (July 26, 2011) - Singer/songwriter, seminary president and theologian Michael Milton will speak and sing today through Thursday at the Family Bible Conference 2011 for Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Flatrock, N.C.
Milton, chancellor/CEO-elect of Reformed Theological Seminary, is scheduled to preach on the topic of "The Shepherd and His Shepherd: David and His God" during the conference. He also will perform songs from his recent CD, Through the Open Door.
The multi-talented pastor, who Christianitytoday.com has compared to Neil Young, Steven Curtis Chapman and Dan Fogelberg, received rave reviews when Through the Open Door was released earlier this year.
"Musically opulent and emotionally stirring," says ChristianityToday.com.
"Milton has a great talent for conveying deep, spiritual things in an easy-to-understand fashion. His mellow folk tunes and accessible lyrics will be sure to minister to the hearts and souls of many who hear the album!" says Alpha Omega News.
"Through the Open Door brings the sound that immediately reminded me of Ricky Skaggs. If you like the sound of a mandolin you will never stop listening to this CD," says Tina Leonard at Higher Rock Music.
"… deep, meaningful messages about God through the use of heartfelt and spellbinding music. Milton's authentic undertone draws from his ability to convey his meaningful lyrics in a practical yet alluring vibe. His lyrics instantaneously bring you to that familiar happy place, such as sharing a hearty meal with family or participating in a genuine conversation," says TheCelebrityCafe.com.
The Family Bible Conference, held at the Bonclarken Retreat Center, located in the mountains near Hendersonville, N.C., features events for the entire family, including Bible teachings, fellowship, worship time and small group study. Additional speakers include Rev. Fred and Sharon Carr, Melody Howell and Dr. John Currid, professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary.
