Recently I interviewed Ned Bustard, the artist for “Every Moment Holy,” about his artwork in the book. Because I envision this book becoming very important to current Christianity, as well as achieving an heirloom status, I also wanted to talk with Douglas Kaine McKelvery who penned the liturgies for “Every Moment Holy.” This book can be used for both individual and corporate devotion for everyday life. Here is my interview with Douglas.

The remote descendant of Scottish horse-thieving ancestors, Douglas Kaine McKelvey has already bested the dubious achievements of his predecessors by penning five published books and penning lyrics for more than 250 songs recorded by a variety of artists including Kenny Rogers, Switchfoot, and Jason Gray.

Douglas is currently completing the manuscript for a YA sci-fi/fantasy novel and making slow progress on a companion volume to "Every Moment Holy."

Interview — Douglas Kaine McKelvey, Creator Of Every Moment Holy

The arts have seen a growing importance among Christians in the past decade. As the culture shifts ever further from Christianity, large sections of the faith have begun to realize just how important art is in speaking to the issues of modernity.
