I had played some of them before, but not until today did I hear Volume 1. Thus I was not prepared for track 3, "I Offer My Isaac," and certainly not for the effect it would have on me. I was really set up for it, too, since I was at that moment reading about Martin Burnham's funeral in his wife Gracia's "In the Presence of My Enemies." Theirs is a story which, though radically different, reminds me in many ways of Isaac's.</p>
