About Alan
bio | pictures | testimonials
RALPH MEAKER “There aren’t many people who can do the music and bring the word to older kids like you can. Your gifts are unique.”
JULIE KURZ “Each days talks were direct, foundational, understandable - probably the best talks I’ve heard for children. We had 30 decisions!”
KATHY PUGH “You not only ministered to the kids, but the adults. That’s a rare combination! You are, indeed, the ‘real thing.’ I haven’t seen that many children respond to the gospel. This is the BEST I have ever seen for children.”
LORI MIKSCH “My kids, you’re all they want to listen to.”
JIM DRAKE “I myself came away a stronger Christian. 42 people made a decision for a new life. WOW!!”
KAREN LUTTRELL “I was so impressed with your visit. My kids came home excited about you, and my son is not an "excitable" kid. Kids need good role models and you are one of the best.”
MEGAN “Dear Mr. Root, on your visit, I ask Jesus into my heart. I am 6.”
DENISE SHELTON “My daughter says she has a new role model. You’ve replaced the Backstreet Boys.”
MANDI CARR “I was able to see you with the older kids. You were great. They were having a blast. You have a great gift.”
MICHAEL MILOSER “We don't know how we’ll top this year’s VBS.”
DAVE SCHUMAN “Our kids enjoy your music and to be honest, my wife and I don’t mind listening to the songs over and over either.”
RUTH PAPE “We love your new video. I played it for my fourth and fifth graders and from the moment I pressed play, I had their attention...”
MARY CLAIRE WESOLOSKY “I am 8 years old. I love your music. Your songs inspire me to love the Lord even more than ever.”
DWIGHT MILLS “I sit here at 1:28 A.M. in the night, or is it morning, with "God is Great" jamming away in the CD rom drive. My family and I had such a GREAT time. God has truly gifted you, my brother. And to see all those kids make commitments, that’s what it’s all about.”
MARK HALL “We went to the VBS closing with our 10 year old Katie. You were wonderful! We both went to church until we got to college. You reached us. I wanted you to know that your music has been instrumental (no pun intended!) in helping us get back to God.”
PAM REA “Thanks for clearly teaching our kids about Jesus. They are having so much fun and 15 out of 17 of my class have made serious commitments to Jesus. I’ve been revived and am having a blast. All of us have seen Jesus this week in you and are now more on fire for Him than ever. Thanks for your contagious energy and devotion to God’s children.”
KAREN HILL “This year was our family's favorite VBS ever--due in large part to you! My 9 year old son still talks about you. I came home yesterday with the WOW 2000 CD for my son. He thanked me, but asked when I was going to order your CD! How refreshing it is to us that with all the music out there, secular included, he wants to order yours.”
BENJAMIN MANLEY “I was laughing so hard I could hardly take notes! You explained complex concepts so that even the youngest children can understand.”
STEVE DAVIS “Your ministry is so right-on theologically and musically. We do your stuff in kid’s church and in praise and worship. It’s intergenerational!”
GWEN COOPER “A parent told me, “As far as I’m concerned, you can book Alan every year. Anyone who can hold my 5 year old’s attention for an hour and a half...””
MARGARET PITTMAN “It shows how professional you are when you felt lousy but still managed to be universally given a "10,” “A+,” "four stars," by EVERYONE who met you or saw you. The children are still talking about the songs and stories. You have left quite a mark on our congregation. Peter, an attorney, listens to your music on the way to work and back every day. He said to me: "Wow... Alan Root is BIG, REALLY BIG... He is incredible! I am now officially a groupie." Another grown-up person listens to you while she rides her bike every day. Every one will have to buy new CDs and tapes because the old ones are almost worn out.”
