JJ Heller's "I Dream Of You" Awakens the Child in You

JJ Heller's newest project, I Dream of You, a companion to her and hubby David's children's book, The Golden Feather is low-key and soft, but don't think that means it's fluff. Quite the contrary, I Dream of You is as powerful as it is beautiful.

If you are thinking that Heller covered a bunch of songs from Sunday school or VBS and turned it into a "lullabies" album for babies, think again. While each of the 12 songs share her absolute love for her kids, these tunes aren't child's play at all. Anyone who wants to be soothed and reminded of love will definitely benefit from listening. Perfect for bedtime or just quiet time, JJ Heller reminds us all of those little things that make us smile and relax. She brings us into her own private world with those she loves, and in turn, allows us to bring our own loved ones in.

Throughout the six new songs, five revisions of some of her more personal tracks and one cover, a sense of serenity flows like a river, bringing peace. Listening to songs like "The Sun Will Rise" and "It's a Big World Baby" can make you feel like you're wrapped in the arms of Jesus, listening to Him remind you that He loves you and is your #1 fan.

Bottom line: I Dream of You can be perfect for soothing your child or your own soul. JJ Heller, once again, speaks to the heart in each of us, regardless of our age.
