This is the Yes that whispers in your soul … the Yes that sings to you in the midnight hour … the Yes that opens its arms and embraces you …
- The Sacred Yes as revealed to Rev. Deborah L. Johnson
The energy of Yes beckons us and, when we listen, reminds us that God is with us always. Singing the Sacred Yes, offered by Valerie Joi, along with her co-producer, Rev. Deborah L. Johnson, is an invitation to deepen our relationship with the Divine. The twelve songs exemplify the universal ebbs and tides of healing and transformation on the journey to experiencing our Oneness with the Infinite. Featuring a variety of musical styles - comforting ballads for the midnight hour, mellow jazz grooves for contemplative reflection, R&B rhythms for embracing life, spoken word for reawakening consciousness, and gospel rejoicing of the soul's liberation - Singing the Sacred Yes is a soothing and inspirational traveling companion. From the urgency of 'Set Me Free', to drinking the waters of 'Living Grace', to the joyous celebration of 'Rise Above,' Singing the Sacred Yes accompanies you every step of the way.
Valerie Joi is the Minister of Music for Inner Light Ministries, and the director and instructor for the Gospel Choir at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She has worked in concert promotion for such gospel greats as Yolanda Adams and Fred Hammond. She has also served as the Development Director for the Monterey Jazz Festival, where she was a featured artist in 2005.
