Bio: Known among fans as "the modern-day hymnwriter," Twila Paris was among contemporary inspirational music's most prolific singers and composers.
Recognized as among the most popular "praise and worship" artists of her generation, Paris also published In the Sanctuary, a book co-written with theologian Robert Webber.
In 2003 Paris returned with her first full worship record since 1991's Sanctuary.
Twila Paris (1042 words)
But Twila's musical boundaries extend far beyond her role as a praise and worship leader in the church, as evidenced by the energy and eclecticism of albums like 1991's Cry For The Desert and her latest, Beyond A Dream.
As a young girl, Twila's grandmother wrote songs that were printed and distributed for use at evangelistic meetings, a fact Twila uncovered while at a recent family gathering.
Clearly, Twila is serious about her calling as a musical minister, and despite the accolades, she is careful to acknowledge the source of her remarkable gifts.
