THE FATHER AND THE SON: Telling The Gospel Story by Lynn Beckman and Rick Beckman

Rick's song, entitled "THE SMALL THINGS," was written as a tribute to both his father and his father-in-law. Lynn's song, "THE SHOEBOX," tells the story of a soldier-son's special financial need and request and his father's response and the years that followed. An allegory and not unlike a parable at all, the song is an "earthly story with a heavenly meaning." In short, its point demonstrates the gift God the Father has given to all through His Son, Jesus The Christ. Both songs continue to be popular with patrons of various digital download music services around the world, with CD buyers everywhere, and with concert-goers whether in churches or other venues where the songs are presented.

Also included in THE FATHER and THE SON album is their internationally acclaimed song, "A BRAND NEW BOOK." In addition to the song's release in this album, it was also released on NCM Records out of England and distributed across Europe. It remained on the Euro charts for 17 weeks straight in 2004 where it climbed to #3 in country-Gospel music. For music friends and fans around the world who receive Country Music Round-up Magazine, published in United Kingdom, feature articles were published on Lynn Beckman in both the June and July (2004) issues.
