The Hoffmans have created the "Faith in Christ" series for young children, beginning with a new CD in 2006, "Lullabies of Jesus and Other Gentle Songs." Their newest CD, \"Stories of Jesus," is 15 songs by Melanie, written to help children know the places, people and events in the Savior's life. Melanie writes, "As children learn who Jesus is, they will look to Him and want to be like Him because they will know Him and love Him. Captivating music and arrangements that have raised the level of children's music to new heights and lyrics crafted by an expert in children's songwriting with over 200 songs to her credit will invite repeated listening and learning by a wide age-range of children.
