Synopsis

As these meditations and hymns were being typed, my husband discovered amongst his music a group of his hymns that he had forgotten existed. Because of the lost meditations he had set these hymns aside. Now found, he asked if I might again ask the Holy Spirit to give us meditations to accompany each hymn so that we might have fifty-two of each, one set for every week of the year. At first I was afraid to ask Him, for the meditations received in prayer ten years ago were given as if in a package, encapsulated in a period of time and in His love and then were finished. Yes, I had heard Him speak to me in prayer over and over again since then but these meditations were unique.

From the Inside Flap:

"Whispered Notes is a beautiful marriage of devotions, written by our mother, Jan, and coordinating hymns, written by our father, Bob. These dual blessings have touched many lives as they were given straight from the heart of our Lord. 'Jesus our Savior' has been sung at our sister's and niece's weddings and at both occasions was a powerful witness to the gift of eternal life." Barbara Kolb Egan and Laurel Kolb Kuhl "Whispered Notes has been a constant presence in our home for years. I display it proudly on our piano, so it is always available for a little 'sit down' at the piano bench to relax and play some hymns, and clear my mind and open my heart to the Lord. Having the devotion right there, next to whatever hymn I happen to choose, makes my time at the bench more meaningful and important. Knowing these are my parents' reflections has great meaning for me today, and for all my tomorrows. It's a gift to our family, my children, my grandchildren, and to future generations. My parents' devotion to the Lord, and their love for HIM and for each other, will live on through this wonderful collection and impact future generations long after they are gone from this earth. A true legacy! We've enjoyed singing Dad's hymns through the years, and one, in particular, 'Jesus My Savior,' has been sung at two family weddings: my sister Janna's in 1994 and my daughter Leslie's in 2013. A great hymn to reinforce a good foundation for marriage. Whispered Notes is a family treasure, one that will continue to bless through the ages...." Rob and June Hudson (Bob and Jan Kolb's oldest daughter and son-in-law) "Whispered Notes is an all-inspiring celebration of devotion and musical achievement - inspired by God and written by Bob and Jan. I highly recommend you immerse yourself in these weekly writings which were beautifully crafted in harmony with their beliefs and God's timeless teachings." Michael and Jessica Drakely "Whispered Notes has been a part of my life and that of my family's for years. My father was a prolific hymn writer and this book was a collaboration between him and my mother, who wrote all of the meditations along with his music that created a powerful worship experience. Whenever my family and I traveled to New Hampshire to spend time with my parents and get away from our busy day-to-day lives, we would always use Whispered Notes as our worship tool on Sunday mornings. It became a part of my life, in addition to my wife Valerie's and my kids."When Valerie and I were planning our wedding in 1997, we thought it would be powerful to include one of my father's hymns in our service. We decided on "Here in This Place," one of our favorite hymns. When I discussed this with my father and mother, we decided to rewrite a few of the stanzas with words related to our relationship and marriage. I will always remember sitting in the cabin working on these lyrics with my father and mother until we had something that we all liked."My father and mother have built an amazing legacy, and Whispered Notes, with these personally written meditations and hymns, is one of those key pieces of that. I write this in loving memory of my father, Robert Kolb. I greatly thank my mother for her tremendous commitment to his legacy and congratulate her on an amazing writing career and this collaboration with my father." George R. Kolb, Associate Vice President for Alumni Relations, Villanova University
