Brian's story is a classic "prodigal son" saga. As a teenager, he started wrestling with coming-of-age issues like every young person. Instead of seeking God during this time, he chose to buy into an identity the world placed upon him. It was only through God's mercy (and the fervent prayers of a mother) that he was able to find his way back home. Brian's artistic and passionate expressions come to life on "Outside The Lines". With several singles breaking the "Top 30" on the charts, national touring, and top placement in competitions ranging from "GMA National Performance Competition" to national songwriting competitions, Brian is poised for breakout success. "I Know Who I Am" charted at #25 and his latest single, "Love Like Yours", will be hitting the airwaves in late January, 2007.

However, for the members of breathedeep, pouring out an authentic artistic outpouring is only half the battle, instead filling up the remainder of the equation with an amazingly genuine approach to vertical songwriting that doesn’t just focus on the sunshine drenched satisfactions of life, but also its disruptive chaos and constant stream of trials. Both are bold paths indeed, but ones founder Mike King (with a troupe of instrumental backers) unashamedly walks throughout their sophomore release, laying down all burdens before the cross while simultaneously offering unconditional glory to God. breathedeep has opened for bands such as Casting Crowns, The Newsboys, Kutless and the David Crowder Band. The summer of 2006 alone pushed breathedeep to lead over 50,000 people in worship, and 2007 saw similar success. Songs from their debut album have become staples in churches across the U.S. North American touring in 2009 will be the key driver of the current campaign and will see breathedeep joining up with Mercy Me and Mark Schultz, as well as appearances at major festivals, churches, conferences and youth camps.

Both are bold paths indeed, but ones worship leader and founder Mike King and company unashamedly walk throughout a self-titled CD, laying down all burdens before the cross, while simultaneously offering unconditional glory to God. That isn’t to say the thirteen-track disc (with Grammy winning Audio Adrenaline production alum Jason Burkum at the helm) isn’t replete with joy, it’s just manifested through a series of subjects that unveil the group’s vulnerable side to songwriting. Yet throughout times of trouble and tussle, Breathe Deep reminds all that God’s grace is always available for the truly repentant sinner and that He’s always by our side no matter how high the burdens pile up.

The song list moves seamlessly through a journey of devotion, from the opening hushed vocals of “Be Glad,” climbing into the strong passion of “Let Your Anointing Fall,” and climaxing in the violin-led veneration of “Oh God”. “Fire” is a twelve-minute free-flowing plea for the hand of God to cleanse. “Whom the Son Sets Free” is a lovely dance between Carnali’s piano and the able violin of Rebecca Loomis, affirming our freedom in Christ.

The first single, entitled “Something In The Water,” is an upbeat, summery romp. The song, “Betty” (co-written by Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman) is about a cool, unapproachable girl who hides her birthmark—a thinly veiled metaphor for the things she is afraid to show people. Other standouts include “Flags,” “Who Are We Fooling,” “Coachella” and “Crows and Locusts”. Brooke speaks through the voices of different characters to tell timeless truths.

From the energetic and bold statements in 'Ain't No Doubt' and 'Ready' to the intimate hope of the latin-infused jazz track 'Heal My Soul' to the soaring melodies of 'Never Alone,' this album will take the listener on an inspiring journey of life and love. Recently while in Peru as a Compassion Canada sponsored artist, Sheila shared her songs in English and Spanish as she told the story of God's healing in her life. Because of the grace she's received, she has a heart to share with people in need of hope and healing, and her music shines with that desire. She states, 'I am very excited that my music has been used to bring new hope to people of all ages.' This version of the album is sung completely in Spanish. COMPACT DISC: Rock / Hard Rock     back to top Artist: 39 Stripes Title: Beyond Broken Genre: Modern / Alternative Rock UPC: 8-84501-29463-8 List price: $12.98 Release Date: 10/26/10 Order Date: 9/28/10 Label: Hollar Records One Sheet Anchored by hope and fueled with inventive guitar licks, catchy choruses, and dynamic production, Beyond Broken is an authentic snapshot of faith in the trenches—one 39 Stripes hopes will stick with fans when they endure their own challenges. While trying to survive as an independent band amidst an economic recession, 39 Stripes faced a slew of even more significant hardships including loved ones lost, betrayal by business associates, and the lingering question of where God was in the midst of it all. For Steve Henderlong (lead & rhythm guitars) and his bandmates Mike Wilson (lead vocals), Joe Costa (drums and percussion), Ray Schurr (bass guitar) and Jason Bradley (rhythm guitars), the two years of blood, sweat and tears leading up to the release of Beyond Broken only serves as a testament to what really matters—and what doesn’t. Artist: Alcina Title: Of Hearts Left Unnourished Genre: Metalcore UPC: 8-90269-00136-4 List price: $9.98 Release Date: 10/23/07 One Sheet Alcina formed at the close of 2005 in Nashville, TN . With their catchy Metalcore sound similar to Haste The Day, August Burns Red, and The Showdown, they immediately began building a solid hometown fan base, drawing hundreds of kids to many shows. By the summer of 2006 they self-produced an EP and began touring in the southwest, along the east coast and throughout the midwest. After playing generator stages at Cornerstone Festival, they started receiving label attention. Just several months later they announced their signing to Holdfast Records in front of 400 plus screaming fans. Their 8-track EP entitled "Of Hearts Left Unnourished" was recorded in November 2006 at NME Studios in Nashville, TN. In January, Alcina's hometown CD release show brought out a sold out audience of over 700 kids, one of the largest local hardcore shows Rocket Town (Michael W. Smith's club venue) has ever had. Alcina is currently on tour with "A Plea For Purging". Artist: Anastasis Title: My World, Her World, His World, Your World Genre: CCM / Rock UPC: 6-39589-00662-4 List price: $12.98 Release Date: 3/16/04 One Sheet While Anastasis is guided by the heartfelt vocals and lyrical message of Dave Coleman, it revels in the wails and melodies that fly from the fingers of guitarists Rodney Zimmerman and Carl Bailey. “My World, Her World, His World, Your World” openers "Trickster" and "I Am" seem like pretty straight-ahead hard rockers there might be a bit of a Queensrche influence here but they soon make their mark with interesting melodic left turns from the guitarists. "Give in to Love" opts for an acoustic main riff- supported by a combo of chunky distortion and intricate harmonic work- while the woven vocal harmonies of "Carpe Diem [Run Away]" give way to a soaring chorus. My World, Her World adjusts fluidly between the rousing Staind-style ballad "Betrayal" and the stinging lead riff and upbeat rhythm of "Light of Day [The Revelation]" not to mention the crackling guitar pop (and handclaps) of "Juliet." Sure to appeal to guitar fans, Anastasis should also find favor among those faithful to the uplifting Christian message. Artist: A Road Less Traveled Title: Rescue Genre: Alternative Rock UPC: 8-37101-32862-3 List price: $14.98 Release Date: 4/24/07 One Sheet ARLT’s music is encompassed by a fresh alternative rock sound that promotes hope, change and love in a world that can feel stagnant. A Road Less Traveled, composed of front man Zach Dietz, guitarist Shawn Anglin, bassist Chris Brown , turntable/midi programmer Michael Murry and drummer Kuhrt Cowan, has been fortifying its unique sound since the band formed nearly five years ago. “Rescue” combines heavy-hitting alt-rock sounds with straightforward, inspired lyrics about Christian living. Songs run the gamut from acoustic guitar-driven gems with tight harmonies like “Maybe” to the harder-edged and radio-ready title track “Rescue”. “Maybe” is featured in a Christian horror film called “Evil Behind You” and won “Best Song” at a Texas-wide battle of the bands. Ranking 4th out of 250 different independent bands across the nation, A Road Less Traveled is proving they are one of the top independent up-and-coming acts to watch for 2007. Artist: At The Onset Title: Healing In Surrender Genre: Alternative Metal UPC: 8-29569-81492-3 List price: $9.98 Release Date: 10/26/10 Order Date: 9/28/10 Label: Transform Music Group One Sheet Truly special bands take risks. It is a proven fact. And in an age where hardcore has reached almost laughable proportions of oversaturation and repetition, finally a band has come along which has not only pushed the envelope, but completely shredded it. On Healing In Surrender, the debut release from At The Onset, we find a band which has captured authentic-scene metalcore sounds alongside soaring pop/rock hooks. An ambitious undertaking? Absolutely. But 100% intentional in its schizophrenia. Passionate, emotional and universal, this is a record with a broad base of influences. Tracks like “Anthem” (the first radio single) are as catchy and commercial as anything you will hear on active rock or CHR radio, with sounds that will sit well with fans of bands like Switchfoot or TFK. Whereas tracks like “Ruin and Rebirth” are raw, ready for the primal dances of kiddies typically found en masse at Demon Hunter or UnderOath shows. Healing In Surrender is a dynamic and genuinely surprising journey in which the listener will be intrigued at every sonic turn. But for all the diversity, there is a common thread that unites it all: a genuine heart for sharing the truth in love. Produced by Joshua Silverberg (Edison Glass), Healing In Surrender is a soon-to-be-authenticated metalcore masterpiece for the ages. But let’s not forget that At The Onset has a passion for the kids. Healing In Surrender is a risk taken for the sake of something greater. No matter the commercial outcome, the band plans to remain grounded and secure in a real, living belief in God. “We can’t fathom changing our stance even if we were to sell a million records. Our goal is to share our faith. That’s why we are sacrificing leading ‘normal’ lives to embrace this path. We haven’t left everything behind to gain notoriety for ourselves. We did it because we are messengers.” Artist: Before There Was Rosalyn Title: As Far As The Moon From The Sun Genre: Metalcore UPC: 6-06041-36922-1 List price: $8.99 Release Date: 9/2/08 Rising hard rock band "Before There Was Rosalyn" has an intense, thrashy Dillenger-esque metalcore sound. For a young band, they display a great deal of maturity while leaving plenty of room for growth. To their credit, Before There Was Rosalyn's lyrics are much bolder than those of most Christian metalcore bands. This one simple fact paves the way for a great deal of passion in their music. Their self-released EP entitled "Rebirth" (a precursor to the current Holdfast Records release) was a nice introduction to what will likely be a thriving career. "As Far As The Moon From The Sun" picks up where "Rebirth" left off and kicks it up a notch. Artist: Fades Away Title: Perceptions Genre: Alternative Rock UPC: 7-07541-26169-2 List price: $12.98 Release Date: 11/29/11 Order Date: 11/01/11 Label: Fades Away Productions One Sheet Minneapolis-based Fades Away have emerged with their own savory brand of highly energetic, intense Christian rock. Their latest album, Perceptions, shows tremendous growth in both the musicianship of the individual members and their collective ability to craft melodically radical nuggets of assailing ear candy. Produced by Noah Henson, lead guitarist and main songwriter for the seminal Christian rock band Pillar, this album is solid from start to finish. The album cover art and song ?Perceptions? illustrate the concept that Christians open the door to darkness and become like Pharisees when they piously represent themselves as ?better than? others. The ominous figure in the cover photo grasps his bible as he dwells in self-righteous condemnation of others. ?Right Now (We?ll Stand) is a story of perseverance and victory over fear, and ?Choir of Failure? addresses the issues of temptation, grace and forgiveness. Insightful and illustrative lyrics take the listener on an odyssey of epic proportions. An intense tour schedule keeps them on the road full-time, and opening for wildly successful bands like Thousand Foot Kruth, Project 86, Fireflight and others has afforded them the opportunity to play in front of massive crowds as they continue to develop an increasingly large and highly-dedicated fan base. The members of Fades Away have found that the ability to share life experiences and beliefs through the music provides the connection and approachability the fans have come to know and love. Artist: Hipps, Tom Title: Everybody & Their Brother Genre: Folk Rock UPC: 7-97307-06722-4 List price: $9.98 Release Date: 2002 "Everybody & Their Brother" is the first solo record by the popular Minneapolis singer/songwriter Tom Hipps. Tom has an extensive background in the music industry as a performer, writer and session vocalist. His songs appeared in the motion picture film "Staring At Headlights" and he has written music for Chicago's Second City Theater. As with most of Tom's folk rock musings, he offers hope in the midst of the trials and storms we all must endure in life. Yet still the hope of heaven seems to be a thread that winds through much of his material and perhaps binds his faith together. Raw, honest, and emotionally presented, this is a fine first effort by a unique talent. Step inside..."Everybody & Their Brother" is here. Artist: Hipps, Tom Title: Then Went The Demons Genre: Folk Rock UPC: 7-97307-22922-6 List price: $12.98 Release Date: 2006 "Then Went The Demons" is the sophomore effort from Minneapolis-based Tom Hipps. His latest offering is a bit edgier than his debut record "Everybody & Their Brother" but, like its predecessor, remains true to Tom's folk rock essence and is steeped in melody, well-placed harmonies and deep lyrical passion. Tom uses modern-day language and pop culture imagery to translate the messages of God's word to a culture full of distraction and passivity. Tom uses his gifts to explore the condition of human life through the eyes of someone who's "been there and done that". By using the wisdom gained through difficult and trying times, he is able to demonstrate that the trials we experience in life ultimately produce a stronger, more beautiful version of what we once were. Artist: In Irons Title: Heartbeat of the Times Genre: Metal / Hardcore UPC: 8-77569-00988-7 List price: $9.99 Release Date: 7/15/08 In Irons is a sailing term meaning “having turned onto the wind or lost the wind, stuck and unable to make headway.” Obviously, there are spiritual implications which can be illustrated through this term. In Irons, the band, is composed of 5 Christian guys who are passionate about heavy music. Some would define their sound as melodic hardcore. Others would say it’s strictly metalcore. But, in essence, it is a mix of industrial, R&B and ‘90’s rock delivered with brutal force. The songs deal with real life and real problems that we all face. The band is all about being honest by combining a mix of cynicism with the eternal optimism found in scripture. They’ve found that somewhere in the midst of that paradoxical mixture is where we experience the reality of our faith. And worship to God is the biggest expression of that reality. In Irons see their ministry as a platform to inspire, inform, entertain, critique and worship (at sound levels that make a jackhammer jealous). Artist: Poorly Built Parachute Title: Evolution In Color Genre: Dance / Electronica UPC: 8-44553-00280-3 List price: $11.99 Release Date: 7/1/08 Taking stylistic cues from a wide variety of electronic arts, Poorly Built Parachute offers an intriguing debut release jam-packed with energizing beats and a rich, sonic atmosphere. Poorly Built Parachute is the brainchild of Holdfast Records founder Dave Darr and fellow gizmo-wizard Kevin Tetuan. The album was a 3-year work in progress, beginning with mere experimentation of cheap electronic music software. The hobby quickly turned into something of legitimate interest and before long keys, samples, and voice were recorded and laid down in the mix. Highly influenced by epic movie scores and the masters of electronic rock like Portishead and Massive Attack, PBP began to develop a unique sound. Founding member Dave Darr gives acclaim to the metal and hardcore music he grew up on, although he says he's always fancied the idea of playing electronic music one day. After a heavy dive into the electronic music world PBP has been compared to such acts at Dieselboy, Black Sun Empire, Boards Of Canada, and early Prodigy. Artist: Runway 36 Title: Welcome To The Afterall Genre: Alternative / Brit-Pop UPC: 6-17933-46022-3 List price: $12.98 Release Date: 6/6/06 Welcome to the Afterall showcases a nouveau Brit rock sound that combines great song-writing, simple acoustic moments, phat “wall of sound” rock guitar, faith-infused lyrics and rich, Beatlesque vocal harmonies. Taking top honors in the 2006/2007 Club 3 Degrees Band Tournament, appearing in January, 2007’s edition of CCM Magazine and a high ranking (#11) on ChristianRock.net’s radio charts are all indicators of the potential Runway 36 brings to the Christian rock scene. Runway 36 mixes the old with the new in a very convincing way. This is energetic rock ‘n’ roll in the vein of Weezer, Foo Fighters, Switchfoot and Starflyer 59 at it’s finest. Artist: Scarlet White Title: Breathe Genre: Alternative / Post-Grunge UPC: 7-03132-30032-0 List price: TBD Release Date: TBD Order Date: TBD Label: Transform Music Group One Sheet On their Transform Music Group debut EP entitled Breathe, Scarlet White manifests heartfelt songs of hope, redemption and restoration. "We play our music so that people can recognize our hearts and see that we have a thirst for God and what He can do in our lives. We just want to be role models for the youth," states lead vocalist Spencer Minor. Drummer Jacob Hendricks succinctly adds, "We want our music to have a purpose." Musically, Scarlet White cull elements of influential bands like Red, Chevelle, 12 Stones, Creed and newer Disciple to create driving, melodic textures anchored by Dan Hall's gut-wrenching drop-tuned guitar riffs, Jacob Hendricks' heart-pounding drum licks and the bruising bass lines of Erick Penn. Mixing mid-tempo gems like "Breathe" and "Rest" with in-your-face rockers "Awakening" and "Never The Same," Scarlet White displays a diversity which resonates with a broad, diverse fan base. "Breathe," the preeminent track on the album, blends the optimistic angst of Staind's "So Far Away" with the bittersweet eloquence of "Mistakes" by Kutless, while "Rest" compels every listener to join in on the infectious and resoundingly joyful "Oh OH Oh's" permeating the chorus. "Awakening" and "Never The Same" contend for the title of most aggressive song on the EP. Both are a complete and utter assault on the senses and are perfectly at home in any credible mosh pit. Nestled comfortably between the two extremes is "Gravity," a sparsely orchestrated track highlighting Minor?s emotive vocals and some very tasty drum fills. Produced and co-written by Josh Silverberg (Edison Glass, Abandon, Seabird), Breathe exemplifies a maturity uncommon amongst a band barely beyond their teens. Lyrically, complex and universal themes are conveyed in a simple and accessible way. The power of God's grace is explored in "Gravity," while "Rest" alludes to the peace found in and through Christ. "Awakening" stirs a desire to serve a cause greater than the self and "Never The Same" contends that a life, once saved, will rise to new heights. "Breathe" reassures us that God is always there to infuse new life into us during times of need. Artist: Summertime Dropouts Title: Rewind Genre: Pop Punk UPC: 6-34457-56692-7 List price: $12.99 Release Date: 6/12/12 Order Date: 5/15/12 Label: Voluminous Records One Sheet On its Voluminous Records debut album entitled Rewind, Minneapolis?based Pop Punk band Summertime Dropouts has crafted an indelible collection of songs which transport the listener on a trip down memory lane to a time when life was much simpler and carefree, far removed from the burdens of a complex world. From a musical perspective, the band draws from the inspiration of bands like All?American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Blink?182, New Found Glory and Sum 41 to create a musical masterpiece brimming with pure pop punk magic. Executive Producer Clint Gibbs, who has been involved with a string of commercially successful songs from big?name artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Pitbull states, ?their skill and dedication to the music is on par with the ?A? crop of major label acts. After hearing the Summertime demos I knew they had a great record ahead of them.? As a newly formed band, the members are anything but wet behind the ears. Each member has vast touring experience as members of other bands. Lead vocalist Dave Erickson recently fronted the Christian Hard Rock band FADES AWAY. North American touring in 2012 will be a key driver of the campaign along with a focus on innovative viral video content. COMPACT DISC: Gospel / Rhythm & Praise     back to top Artist: B.L.A.S.E. Title: Bold In The Lord and Spiritually Excited Genre: Urban Gospel UPC: 8-22525-60602-0 List price: $12.98 Release Date: 9/13/05 Label: S4J Entertainment Bold in the Lord and Spiritually Excited (pronounced "blaze") is the acronym for the group. It is the perfect description for three young ladies who are on fire for the Lord. The group Blase was spiritually ignited in 2002 by singer-songwriter Keschia Smith-Jones from Houston, Texas. Her vision of having a female group with perfect harmony and a powerful ministry was first manifested in 2001 with the five member female group "Grace". Two members left the group. However, this did not douse the flame that was in Keschia and the two remaining members. Keschia, along with Sharletha Woodard and Michelle York make up the present group Blase. Blase has a new traditional gospel sound with an old traditional gospel message, and make themselves available to minister to all. Artist: B.L.A.S.E. Title: Live & Learn Genre: Urban Gospel UPC: 8-22525-70702-4 List price: $14.99 Release Date: 6/17/08 Label: S4J Entertainment One Sheet Rarely does lightning strike twice in the same place but, on their second offering, BLASÉ has indeed struck again. After gaining recognition from loyal fans all over the country, and a watchful eye from major record execs, BLASE is back with an even hotter, more mature and spiritually insightful project entitled LIVE & LEARN. The ladies have again teamed up with S4J Entertainment to bring you a project that is full of their signature mix of hip hop, jazz, neo-soul and traditional music. Mr. Paul Garner of PIF Music in Forth Worth, Texas served as the musical director and producer of the project. The lead single, “My Gift”, is a sweet, spiritual testimony with mass crossover appeal. The song lets the listener know without a doubt how Keschia, Michelle and Sharletha feel about their ministry. The smash single “Oh No”, which features up and coming Houston rapper Young Disciple, will let everyone see that BLASE knows how to get a “praise party” started. “LIVE & LEARN” has ten incredibly wellproduced and powerfully spiritual songs. Artist: Coles, Hersey L. Title: Broken: The Continuation Genre: Contemporary Gospel UPC: 8-37101-27868-3 List price: $14.98 Release Date: 6/12/07 Label: B&C Music Hersey is known best for his ability, like David in the Psalms, to usher God`s people into His presence through prophetic song and word. After many years of preparation, the Lord has opened the door for Hersey to minister in song for such a time as this. This anointed prophetic psalmist ministers refreshing, life changing psalms birthed straight out of the "challenges and victories" he has experienced throughout his life. From the upbeat sounds of "Oh!" to his personal and intimate talk with the Lord in " Your Voice", the Lord moves through Elder Coles to weave a story which, when heard, will move you from 'glory to glory'. Hersey Coles has the ability to minister prophetically through Jesus Christ to loose shackles, break chains and destroy yokes. Hersey says, "as you look for what Christ is doing in worship service, adapt your playing and singing to harmonize with what you see him doing." Artist: Davis, Adrian Title: Divers Genre: CCM / Pop / Urban UPC: 6-43157-39261-3 List price: $14.98 Release Date: 11/6/07 One Sheet Memphis, Tennessee native and Minneapolis Gospel Sound member Adrian Davis brings forth his new solo effort entitled “Divers” (pronounced “diverse”). The name says it all. This is an eclectic collection of songs which display Adrian’s true diversity. With a heart to bridge the racial/ethnic divides still in place within the Christian community, Adrian revels in the diversity that music has to offer by aptly communicating through a vast array of styles. By bringing an album composed of distinct, unlike elements, Adrian effectively transcends many of the barriers we have allowed to be set in place. From gospel to rap, from hip-hop to pop, this solid album has something to offer everyone. Adrian’s background makes him well-suited for the task. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Music and stints with Sounds of Blackness, Excelsior and Tonex, Adrian is ready to make his own mark on the Christian music world with a message of unity and hope.

Artist: Moe, Robert Title: Calling You Genre: Gospel UPC: 6-59057-68472-7 List price: $12.98 Release Date: Label: Moe Entertainment Robert Moe brings a compelling collection of Contemporary Gospel songs to the table. The soulful voice of Robert was sculptured by God and nurtured in the church choir. Born into a family of singers, Robert was singing three-part harmonies by the age of two. His father once told him, "What God has for you is for you." Now, on "Calling you", Robert is able to share his God-given talent with the rest of us. Rarely will you experience a more anointed collection than this. Attempting to define Robert's gift is like trying to define God himself. Words can alluse to, but never fully define the beauty and complexity of the intended target. To summarize his sound, one could say it is "the heart of Gospel music with a sound as smooth as glass." Many have compared his voice to that of Luther Vandross, and fans use words like "fabulous", "unlifting" and "refreshing" to define Robert's music and his gift. Upon hearing this collection, you'll find that these words simply fall short of the mark.

To produce a second CD, we knew it has to be polished. We started by hiring Stellar Award and Grammy- nominated producers MVP Productions. We knew their knowledge of music production could give this CD the "Big Sound" we were looking for. Personal life experience is what fueled this album. Laying down pride to allow others to bring their God-given talent to the project gives this CD it's character. Being obedient to the Lord gives this CD it's success."

Artist: Prisoners of God Title: Victorious Genre: Contemporary Gospel UPC: 8-84501-10895-9 List price: $12.99 Release Date: 4/14/09 Order Date: 3/31/09 Label: Immortal Souljahz Ent. One Sheet Immortal Souljahz Entertainment presents “Victorious,” the long awaited and much anticipated debut album from gospel recording artists Prisoners of God.

Artist: Renner, Sara Title: Joy Genre: Gospel / Jazz / Soul UPC: 7-03132-07142-8 List price: $14.98 Release Date: 2001 Specializing in a unique blend of Jazz, Soul and Gospel styles, Sara Renner explores the joys of the Lord in ways typically uncommon in the Christian musical arena. She has been performing throughout the United States at churches, music festivals and special events since 2001. In February of 2004, she and her band, The Elements, started "Minneapolis Live!" at the widely acclaimed Club 3 Degrees. On her debut CD, "Joy" (released in 2001), Sara works her way through twelve sensational tracks full of faith, hope and love. The title track is undoubtedly one of the stand-out tracks on the album. In "Joy", she tells of how Jesus turned her life around and set her free from the world's darkness. She acknowledges that God's timing is perfect, as He is the perfecter of our faith. The result is "joy, joy, joy"! Another stand-out track (and the author's favorite) is "Love Will Wait". Reminiscent of Mariah Carey and other similar singers from the secular world, Sara tells the story of two individuals who, in different ways, have turned their backs on the love God has gifted them through those in their lives, and His son's death upon the cross. But Sara reminds us that "love will wait" even though it's been betrayed by our sinful nature. God is love, and He is a whisper away when we turn to Him. With countless exceptional tunes, this is a "must have" for any fan of Adult Contemporary, Jazz or Soul. Sara & The Elements collectively are a mature blend of fine musicianship and solid tunes for those who appreciate the beauty God makes available in and through His children. Artist: Renner, Sara & The Elements Title: Elements of the Journey Genre: Gospel / Jazz / Soul UPC: 7-98576-38032-8 List price: $14.98 Release Date: 2004 One Sheet Sara Renner's bio says she's "rooted in the legendary Minneapolis sound." It's not so much a reference to Prince's Paisley Park Studios as recognition of the growing gospel music scene and the respected Christian songwriters from the Twin Cities—like Sara Groves, Joe Rogness, and Jason Gay, and producer Nate Sabin, who has worked with all three. It's fitting, then, that Sabin would match his skills to yet another local talent. Remember Basia, or Lisa Stansfield? Renner combines that kind of jazz-pop sensibility ("Simple Things") with the gospel-pop side of CeCe Winans and Natalie Grant ("Elements of Life"). And she does so convincingly, straddling comfortably between styles without giving the listener sonic whiplash. Also, much like Bryan Duncan, she has a passion for live musicianship over programmed backing tracks, evidenced by her impressive supporting band, The Elements. Check out the killer funk on "Dancin' in the Light!" This is a soulfully superior Christian pop disc elevated by all the talent involved. Artist: Renner, Sara Title: All For Love Genre: Gospel / Pop UPC: 7-03132-28932-8 List price: $12.99 Release Date: 5/12/09 Order Date: 4/28/09 One Sheet Sara Renner has been touring North America as a solo recording artist and worship leader since 2001. She is often accompanied by her dynamic band “The Elements” a racially diverse group of musicians & singers who have been with her since she began her solo career.

To further reflect Sara’s diverse musical influence, she has toured North America with Grammy-nominated Black Gospel sensation “Excelsior” and is currently the official National Anthem singer for the National Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild. Sara Renner is a full-time, independent recording artist. Her grassroots efforts have gained her growing national and even international respect. Three single’s from her 2004 release “Elements of the Journey” received airplay on over 200 radio stations nationwide and the album was distributed in Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa. To date, Sara Renner’s music has been shared in over 1000 churches in 30 states and 10 countries.

On what will prove to be hit after hit, “You Don’t Have To Cry” is jam-packed with heartfelt love songs to Jesus Christ. Although Eric and Vince are newcomers to the gospel music scene, they stand as tall as vocal veterans in their soulful and expressive delivery. Songs such as "Heaven" (a certain hit) and "You Don't Have To Cry" quickly deliver relevant, scripturally-charged lyrical content that soothes the soul and strengthens the spirit. Enhanced by the high-end production of industry veterans Luke Austin (Mary J. Blige, William Davis, Billy Cook) and Montel Broadway (Charles Moore), the album oozes with well-crafted tunes from the pens of Eric, Vince and Alissa Hardy.

Daniel Stewart, or Young Decent, as he likes to be called, is no stranger to performing and sometimes with his edgy look and creative style, people tend to think he is a rap artist.

His lyrical ability and cutting-edge beats combine to create a fresh take on a classic East Coast style. His message and style are hardcore and in-your-face. As a direct reflection of the way 3D Remedy lives his life, he encourages today’s youth to resist the world and live out loud and hardcore for Christ. In the increasingly deceptive American culture of death, 3D Remedy fell into the worldly ways which promise fulfillment in money, sex and drugs. He is now a central figure in C.U.R.E. (Christ Uncensored Revolutionary Experience), an evangelistic youth ministry dedicated to preaching the gospel of Christ in laymen’s terms. Though the ministry is focused on targeting youth, the message is universal to all. Rolando and C.U.R.E.

They’re prepared to face giants. They have all been well seasoned through the past experiences which led them to where we are today. They've also been through many adverse situations which created pain and suffering on the hard streets of Tacoma, Washington. Torn between gangs, drugs, women and the list of the world's riches, they contend "God delivered us safely from the hands of the enemy and, as overcomers, we realize that without the shaping and molding of our trials we wouldn't be who we are today. We regret nothing that we went through because Jesus Christ took everything to the Cross and we're here to deliver the truth and seek the lost as Jesus sought us. We were like lost sheep without a shepherd waiting to be slaughtered by the sins of this world, but like a child with no parent we were adopted by God's mighty grace and labeled A.B.G., a promise from God that we'll never be alone again.” This message is weaved throughout this strong offering—Still I Rise.

He has now teamed up with Nashville, TN Recording Artist Ricky B and Louisville, KY Recording Artist Chris Flow to form a new super group called "The Trinity."

The music and message are intended to transcend all ages, genders, races, and religions to help create a harmonized, peaceful world."

He came from a secular rap group based in San Bernardino, CA called RBP (Royal Brown Pride). Brown King was caught up in the life of drugs and alcohol and through a series of trials and tribulations, he called upon the name of Jesus. Through his salvation, the nature of his music changed but his style remained hard with a heavy “street feel”. Brown King has a heavy burden for the lost as evidenced in his lyrics. You can find Brown King rockin’ - from a stadium to a street corner—bringing the name of Jesus Christ through hard raps and West Coast beats. Be on the lookout for this west coast Gospel giant.

Artist: CY Title: High Wire ACt Genre: Christian Rap UPC: 6-72968-87582-4 List price: $13.98 Release Date: 4/19/11 Order Date: 3/22/11 Label: Complex Melodies Productions One Sheet Circuses can be inspiring. Introduce children to one and then carefully observe their next month on the playground as they recreate the roles of the clown, the lion tamer, and the trapeze artist. For Christian rapper CY, it launched a fresh phase of his music career ? one marked by a new found creative freedom for his sound, lyrics, and stage show. After launching the Circus World Event?The Ringleader album at the 2007 Texas Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards to critical acclaim (where MTV personality Sway was a presenter), CY began to pray about the direction of its much anticipated follow-up. Whereas The Ringleader?s concept envisioned our world as a circus with one true ringleader (God) and an imposter (Satan) who plots and schemes for the same position, Circus World Event?High Wire Act plays off a tight rope metaphor that represents the narrow road believers in Christ must walk in order to receive eternal life. The project also carries other messages about the humility that must be maintained by those placed in lofty positions. CY?s High Wire Act employs a gloomier carnival sound, picture-painting lyrics, and explosive energy. It?s versatile and accessible to all listeners with tracks produced by himself, Phillip Moore, Tony Stone, Vohn Beats/Symbolyc One, Jimmy Natural and others. Guest artists include Young Joshua, Tony Stone, One Dose, Von Won, FireJaws, Gina V, Tannie, Gifted, Tre9, Kent & Shellee Coley, MiKalibur, Titus, D.Steele, and more. Circus World Event?High Wire Act marks CY?s third solo album (fourth overall.) Previous records have spawned an award-winning video for his ?Confession Invasion? single, recognition for the best New Album and New Artist of the Year (2003 Texas Holy Hip Hop Awards), and several other nominations and industry honors. In addition, CY has performed at major events such as SXSW, Rap Fest, the En Sound Music Awards, the All Eyes On Me Awards, and Atlanta?s Holy Hip Hop Awards (where he was also honored.) Through those events and others, he has been honored to share the stage with music ministers such as Da? T.R.U.T.H., Deitrick Haddon, Knowdaverbs, 4th Avenue Jones, Corey Red & Precise, Mark J, Lil Raskull, Pettidee, Todd Bangz, Everyday Process, and Lecrae.

Throughout the course of the album, John recites the epistles of 1st, 2nd and 3rd John, Jude and Philemon verbatim! In this way, JTR uses the universal language of music as a vehicle to address the culture without compromise, depositing the eternal message of Gods love in hopes of fulfilling the promise of 1st John 2:14 - 'and the word of God abideth in you and ye have overcome the wicked one.' From guest appearances on New York City's Star 99.1 FM to hosting the video countdown show 'Xtreme Video Zone' on JCTV, John is having an incredible impact on the Christian and Secular scenes alike as he walks in the favor of the Lord. 'One of my many gifts is my music, but my calling is to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified, as well as His resurrection power!' With ministry-centered goals and a prophetic gift to speak to the masses, John's goal is to move well beyond merely reflecting culture through rap by allowing the Holy Spirit to transform culture through music.

It determines the way we view the world, it shapes our value systems and fuels our aspirations. As believers, our perspective emanates from a clear understanding of our identity in Jesus Christ. Biblically speaking, we are citizens of Heaven and ambassadors on Earth. In Short, we are pilgrims. It is with these facts in mind that Zerubbabel presents his sophomore album - Pilgrim Perspective. Pilgrim Perspective is a collection of doctrinally sound, personally challenging compositions that will convict and encourage believers while exploring what it truly means to be a follower of Christ. Songs like "On Deck," "Hidden N Christ" and "Take The City" are rallying cries that goad the contemporary Christian to proclaim the Gospel and engage the culture; the deeply personal "Trust You" reminds us that this life will have its share of troubles; while other tracks like "I Know He Coming Back" and "I Need You" urge believers to set their hope and affections on things above. Zerubbabel has managed to blend distinctive arrangements from various Christian super-producers into a coherent composition that perfectly accentuates his southern-fried delivery. This project is richly laced with beats by an all-star cast of producers that includes K-Drama, PK, D-Flow, T Mak and Tony Stone, and is punctuated with features by elite artists like Michelle Bonilla and Chris Lee Cobbins.

In July of 1997, he preached his initial sermon and was licensed into ministry. In October 2002 he began to minister as a solo artist. Since that time, God has enabled him to travel nationally teaching and ministering the Word through gospel rap. One of his greatest inspirations, other than his father who is now a pastor, is a gospel rap minister by the name of Jah Word. Jah Word has been like a big brother to him in ministry. Since Zion began his music ministry there is one thought that still echoes in his mind that Jah Word said, “never lose sight on the real focus, this is strictly ministry”. Zion is a faithful and devoted husband to his wife Tranise, father of two sons, Zyere and Zayden, passionate minister and an awesome gospel rap artist. His focus and desire is to win lost souls to Christ at any cost. He stands firm on the Word of God and has made a vow not to compromise his beliefs. Artist: Zion Title: Let Me In Genre: Christian Rap UPC: 7-33792-58242-2 List price: $12.98 Release Date: 3/13/07 Label: I-66 Entertainment One Sheet “Let Me In”, the second release by Zion on Nu-Breed Records, has brought this talented rapper into the mainstream spotlight. This release is much deeper and harder than his previous effort, “Let The Truth Be Known”, which was released in 2003. Jah Word has been a mentor to this “rapper on the rise”. As the prodigal son story from the bible reveals, many kids stray away from the moral foundations they once held dear as children. Only after hard lessons do some return to the Father. "In a time where apostasy and postmodernism views are raging, where society’s choice of music has become its primary source of direction, and where religion, tradition, and success have become more dear to some than attempting to win the lost by any means necessary... a voice rises in the wilderness! Zion will help bring you to a place of renewal and understanding.

COMPACT DISC: Comedy     back to top Artist: Labriola, Jim Title: Heart Improvement Genre: Comedy UPC: 7-03132-30072-6 List price: $10.98 Release Date: 3/22/11 Order Date: 2/22/11 Label: Transform Music Group One Sheet As a young boy, Jim had a natural flair for comedy which often played out at family gatherings and, like most youth, he chose to explore his passions from the perspective of a worldly mindset. Many kids his age spent their time listening to music, but Jim?s instinct and natural sense of humor led him to delve deeply in the comedic arts. He began earnestly cultivating his God-given dexterity for hilarity by seeking out opportunities to perform anywhere and everywhere comedy was the primary, secondary or tertiary draw, even if it meant driving an hour and a half for a five minute slot. In 1989, Jim opened for headliner Tim Allen at Governor?s Comedy Club on Long Island. This fortuitous meeting sparked a close friendship and a big boost for Jim?s career when he was offered what eventually morphed into a popular recurring role as donut-loving freeloader Benny Baroni on ABC?s hit show Home Improvement. Jim later went on to guest star in various other network sitcoms and motion pictures including Disney?s huge hit, The Santa Clause. Like most comedians, Jim?s routines in the early days were steeped in adult themes and vulgarity but one scripture, Ephesians 5:4, led him to reassess his core values and contemplate serious changes for his life, leading to a new ?Heart Improvement?. He eased into this newfound and heartfelt persona by exclusively performing clean comedy at local churches and charity events. Armed with a renewed and fundamentally transformed purpose, Jim now travels the country speaking at business meetings and motivational seminars, and continues to appear on television and in film. Of course, his stand-up routine will always remain a staple of his repertoire but, in recent months, Jim has also been gallivanting across the country aboard the Tea Party Express alongside such notable figures as former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Saturday Night Live?s Victoria Jackson, as well as hordes of Constitutionally Conservative talk show hosts, political pundits, authors, bloggers and public officials. Despite his expanding political activism and unwavering reverence for God, one indispensible fact remains true ? Jim Labriola is ridiculously funny and never one to pass up the opportunity to elicit laughter when two or more are gathered together.

Title: First Comes Saturday, Then Comes Sunday Genre: Documentary UPC: 7-37138-04372-1 List price: $19.95 Release Date: 3/15/11 Order Date: 3/1/11 One Sheet Why has there been a great, and little reported, Christian exodus from the Middle East, with some two million fleeing in the past 20 years alone? This Christian exodus is a result of many factors, including the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, and the related decline of the economy. But, perhaps most significantly, the religious persecution these Christians encounter from their Muslim neighbors. ?First comes Saturday, then comes Sunday? is a well-known sentence in the Middle East meaning: ?First we take care of the Jews? (who pray on Saturday) then we will take care of the Christians, the ?Sunday people.? This movie explores in detail the cause of this exodus, and is a riveting and timely look into the dynamics of Islam, the Middle East and how Islam seeks to enslave or eradicate those not currently under Islamic rule.

The candles in the windows indicated to other Christians that the house was a Christian household and that other Christians were welcome to come worship with the residents.
