Synopsis
Hallelujah is the remarkable story of one of the greatest events in musical history, the creation of George Frederic Handel’s masterpiece, Messiah. Composed in just twenty-four days, Handel’s “Grand Oratorio which rendered him immortal” was birthed in the darkest and most desperate hours of his life. His health was failing. Critics ridiculed him. Creditors hounded him. Enemies persecuted him. Pride had nearly destroyed him. Yet, out of Handel’s night emerged the dawn of Messiah.
Anyone who has thrilled at hearing the Hallelujah Chorus will feel “profound attachment” to Handel’s story of hope and redemption as timeless and poignant as the music itself.

December 23, 2002: Regarding his Messiah, Handel said that he should be sorry if he only entertained them--he wished to make them better. That is what his story has done for me. I'm a better person for having read it. I can read the pages over and over again and always glean something new and applicable for my life. Reading Hallelujah was a spiritual experience that I will not forget.

September 13, 2002: Reading "Hallelujah" by J. Scott Featherstone is a treat for all of the reader's senses! The author has a gift for transporting you into the scene. What ever is described: taste, smell, sound, sight, or feeling I felt like I'd experienced them myself. Whether it was the most splendid oratorio, or a wretched prison it vividly came to life on the page! I am now eager to listen to Handel's Messiah with a renewed interest!
