After witnessing the attack on Judeo-Christian culture during the Cold War while growing up, C. A. (Christine) Davidson began her mission to help parents restore Biblical values to future generations. The Birthright Covenant trilogy, an allegory of hope and deliverance, is inspired by her love of faith, family, and freedom. Davidson’s work is pertinent as, like its predecessors, it demonstrates the lies that can be generated by a self-serving leadership and the desirability and necessity of people to seek and share actual virtues and reality. “It reflects the truth that throughout history, into the present, and in every society, some people have put their physical beings and reputations at great risk to seek reality and actuality.” – C.D.

  Jordan McClung as a composer has been running tech for live theater to postproduction work on film and TV. His passion is for music, which has been inspired by many of the great classical and contemporary composers who have influenced his continuous endeavor to compose inspiring music for a variety of situations. Instrumental albums composed by Jordan appeal to a diverse audience. He enjoys diversity in his compositions, always seeking to create a transcendent quality of depth and timelessness. Throughout his career Jordan has endeavored to emulate the epic heroism and timelessness in Beethoven’s symphonies and overtures. He likes music that is timeless and hopes to continue to compose music that can transport you. Jordan’s purpose in his music is to meet you, in whatever your daily circumstances, to lift and inspire, “taking you to an added dimension.”
