Las Arenas del Alma (the Sands of the Soul)

I know that you're facing a crisis, your eyes tell me so. With these simple words from an old song, renowned writer and pastor Dante Gebel takes listeners on a journey to the desert of trials in the 22nd chapter of the book of Genesis. The Sands of the Soul is dedicated to everyone who has traveled through this desert on a personal, ministerial, or spiritual level and has wondered where they went wrong and why they find themselves walking in the midst of the desolate moorland. This work takes on the hollow places of the soul and, surprisingly, leads the listener toward a celestial ovation. The Sands of the Soul paradoxically manages to put a smile on your face while helping you consider yourself God's friend, even in the midst of crises.
