Chris Tomlin Gospel CD "Holy Roar" Review/ Giveaway

   In his latest CD, "Holy Roar",  Chris Tomlin has truly outdone himself and told about Jesus  in song that is so beautiful.  As the songwriter behind the worship favorites 'How Great Is Our God,' 'Our God,' and 'Whom Shall I Fear,' Chris Tomlin's songs have been a large part of the collective voice from the church for years. Holy Roar is a response to that collective voice. Featuring 'Resurrection Power' and the new single 'Nobody Loves Me Like You,' this brand-new album has songs written specifically for the church that run the spectrum of worship from personal reflections to shouts of praise. Coming alongside Holy Roar is the re-release of the book of the same name, co-written by Tomlin and Darren Whitehead, pastor of Church of the City in Franklin, TN.
  You really must buy this album!  You will be uplifted and  feel the love of God from the very first song.  I know you will not be disappointed  when you listen to this album I promise.  

Kutless Alpha/Omega CD Review/ Giveaway

  Kutless' newest album, Alpha/Omega is definitely my favorite of this great Christian band.  With a touch of classic rock added to calm, odd fashioned gospel music, this CD is perfect for all ages. This awesome group has been together 17 years with 12  #1 radio hits. 
 Alpha / Omega features a new version of "Strong Tower" and the number one radio hit, "King of My Heart".  Below is the song "Strong Tower":

  Each song is a reminder of God in our life and this album displays God in every aspect of our lives.  Jon Micah Sumrall, (a member of the Kutless group) says he feels music can make a difference in people's lives.  He also says the group hears many times from different people how one of their songs impacted their life.  This is why I really love this group and their music. I feel the words to the songs really touch the heart and they help spread the word of God.

  In 2012, Kutless formed End of The Age, (EOTA), which is a non-profit aid that help them spread the word by hosting large, free, outdoor concerts around the globe.  In Belarus, a communist country, 100,000 people heard Kutless and 40,000 committed to Christ!  How can anyone not love a group such as Kutless?  It is proven by their actions that they are in the music making business for more reasons than to be rich or famous.

 

  Above is the 5 members of the group Kutless.  This is one of their other album covers.

  Alpha/Omega is out just in time to give as a gift to any gospel music lover on your list. You can purchase this album on Amazon. I will be offering one CD thanks to fly by promotions and the band Kutless, so please enter my rafflecopter and Good Luck!

Julie Elias - "A Girl Like Me" CD Review/ Giveaway

   A few years ago Julie Elias was acting with small parts in shows such as, "Grey's Anatomy" and "CSI:NY" and even some good roles in bigger movies.  But, deep inside Julie knew something was missing.  Julie started praying to God for his direction in her life.  She even stated she would be obedient and wait for whatever he wanted her to do in her life.
  Some people are always reminded that they are not good enough and feel guilty because they are not grateful for all they have. But Julie was reminded that God still loves us and we are all good enough.
The title song is about how despite our shortcomings, "a girl like me" is still very worthy of God's love.  This is the exact name of the CD-  Julie Elias- "A Girl Like Me".

  Matthew West is a gospel male singer who just put out an amazing CD titled "All In" . This CD is due is stores Sept. 22, 2017.  This CD is so good, you are going to love it!
  I can't pick a favorite song on this 14 song list album, but I would have to say my 2 most played songs are , "Broken Things" and "All In".  "Broken Things" speaks about not being worthy to enter Heaven, but hoping God will except us with all our brokenness.  It is beautiful.

Nichole Nordeman "Every Mile Mattered" CD Review/Giveaway

  If you haven't heard Nichole Nordeman sing, you definitely need to.  Nichole found herself asking the same question David asked God, " Where can I go from your spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence" Psalms 139.  David was good at  running from God and Nichole had become just like David. She was raised in church, in youth groups, mission trips and she only really found God behind the piano.  Soon, Nichole became friends with people who didn't act very Godly and she was sneaking in smelling of liquor and tobacco.  Nichole tried to write songs and she could feel Jesus sitting right beside her on the piano bench, but she still wasn't complete, she was still running and waiting on God to catch her.  Finally, Nichole realized all she had to do was say "yes" to God's invitation and like David, there was no need to run, she just excepted God and so her life fully began.

Mandisa "Out of the Dark" CD Review/Giveaway

  I remember voting every time you could for Mandisa when she was on American Idol.  I love her voice and the sound of the soul in her songs is definitely a voice you will remember.  I knew she would go far after she left that show and she sure did.  You will love her new CD, "Out of the Dark".

Phil Wickham : "Children of God" CD Review

   Phil Wickham has a new album out titled, "Children of God".  This album is one of Wickham's most emotional and touching albums.  Songs such as "StarMaker" and "My All In All" will have you definitely feeling the touching hand of God in the lyrics and beautiful way Phil sings them.
  This album is loaded with songs that show complete praises to our loving God.  I went back and listened to many of my favorites over and over.
  Phil Wickham himself is a product of God's miracles.  In 2014, Phil didn't know if he would be able to ever sing again due to a vocal polyp.  To remove it meant Phil not speaking for months.  Very suddenly, Phil threw himself on the ground asking God for some peace and clarity.  He said all of the sudden he felt a strong sense of God's presence there with him, speaking to him.  God told Phil that his identity is not in what he did, but it's in who God says he is.  God said, "I am your father.You're my child. Trust me."   
  During Phil's recovery he began writing songs with a new sense of passion and freedom.  In, "Your Love Awakens Me" you can feel this passion and re-known strength.  And, yes Phil's throat was healed and good as ever.  He says he feels like he had been reawakened.
  I would give this 5 stars out of 5 stars.  It is a touching, comforting album with songs that make you feel alive in God's love.  I recommend you purchase this album and it can be found in all Christian music stores across the US..
  Buy it below on these places as well:
   iTunes, Spotify &,  Amazon.com

Ragamuffin- on DVD Based on the Life of Rich Mullins Review/Giveaway

  There are certain movies that make my "top shelf" list and Ragamuffin definitely made this list.  When I was asked to review this movie for my readers I didn't know what a wonderful movie I would be watching.  This movie had me crying for many reasons, sometimes it was the sadness and other times it was because I knew God was there beside me, watching it to the end and the happiness I felt touched me deeply.
  Ragamuffin is the true story of Rich Mullins.  Rich was best known for his great hit, "Awesome God".  The beginning of this movie takes place when Rich was a child and he lived with his family on a tree farm in Indiana.  It seems like everything Rich does - he does wrong -or at least his father treats him that way.  Rich naturally learns to play the piano and sing which doesn't please his father who wants him to be a farmer.

Rebecca St. James "I Will Praise You" CD review/giveaway Closed!

"I Will Praise You" CD from Rebecca St. James

(Nashville) –April 4, 2011 –Heralding launch week of her new praise and worship CD release, "I Will Praise You", Rebecca St. James charts yet another new course with  a new collection of worship songs she terms “her most personal worship recording to date.”

I am a great lover of all Christian music and Rebecca St.James is a wonderful singer who will definitely touch you with her awesome voice.
At the age of 12—a time when most young girls are just beginning idyllic dreams of ‘what I want to be’—a young Australian girl prayed a simple prayer. “God, I give you my gifts. Use my life to make a difference and change the world.”

Rebecca St. James has since taken an unparalleled course in Christian music.  As the industry’s innovative ‘new voice’ as a teen in the mid-90’s, she blazed a trail in the contemporary Christian genre for many other talented female artists to come.  She has received countless industry awards, including the prestigious GRAMMY®, garnered number one singles and has consistently topped both radio and sales charts, with career album sales in the millions of album units.
