Dede: In the Fields of Boaz

Rounding out our house-church two-pack this month is Dede (pronounced dee-dee)'s debut album, where she shares her life experiences through simple messages of song. Her aim: to draw the listener - with herself - closer to God. This mother of four, who recently celebrated her twelfth wedding anniversary with husband Jon, grew up in suburban Atlanta and began leading worship. Dede soon found herself writing and performing her own material, in what seemed a natural progression for her. The songs on this EP were born in times of spontaneous thanksgiving and worship, given more structure and form later. The title comes from the story of Ruth in the Bible - viewed through a typological lens of Christ and the Church. The album's ambiance is one of intimacy between an individual and her Redeemer and that can also be viewed as a corporate expression from the bride (Church) to her bridegroom (Christ). Incidentally, Dede is part of the same intentional house church community (http://atlantasaints.com) as Christ In Y'all author Neil Carter.
