"The title, Rest Assured Hymns is wonderful. It can have at least three referents: 1. You can be ‘rest assured’ that these hymns edify; 2. When you put on this CD, you will be able to ‘rest’, ‘assured’ by the soothing music and excellent lyrics; and 3. As you meditate on these hymns, your ‘rest’ in Christ will be ‘assured.’ In any case, buy a copy of this CD. It is wonderful." - IRBS - Westminster Seminary Rest Assured is a homespun recording that highlights several treasured hymns drawn from the Trinity and Gadsby collections (writers Watts, Medley, and Beddome, to name a few). In the fall of 2006 Cathy Steere (author of Too Wise to Be Mistaken, Too Good to Be Unkind: Christian Parents Contend with Autism) and Brooke McKasson (singer from Scottish folk group The McKassons), began meeting in Brooke’s home to sing hymns simply for enjoyment and fellowship, with an underlying idea to make a recording for their friends and family at Providence Reformed Baptist Church in University Place, Washington. Brooke’s husband, Ryan (champion fiddler and professional folk musician), encouraged them to create some of their own melodies and arrangements and joined the project as producer. Rest Assured offers a selection of encouraging, truth-filled hymns, and great care has been taken to keep the words in focus. This album was recorded in Brooke and Ryan’s home in Lakewood, Washington and released in the summer of 2008. Musicians: Brooke McKasson (vocals, guitar, flute), Cathy Steere (vocals), Christi Naler (vocals, piano) Bob Frohlich (accordion), Ryan McKasson (producer, fiddle, and viola)
