Square-Wheeled Trains & Flightless Planes: God’s Love for the Despised by Sam Bowman In 2008, any self-respecting elementary school kid like myself had a presentable hoard of Bionicle. It was only right. Lego’s response to the action figure craze gave me access to copious buildable heroes and innumerable hours of […]

We Recommend: CCM Christmas Favorites, by John DiBiase
In the Christmas season, many of us (especially me) like to put Christmas music into our daily music listening rotation. I tend to dive in pretty heavily, and there are quite a few songs that I would recommend to anyone who’s looking for new Christmas music to listen to. In […]
The Birth Of A King by Tommee Profitt
I have dreamed of making this album for 15 years. “A King is being born, welcomed by Angels, that is coming to save the entire world” …that is an EPIC story. And my dream was to make an equally epic soundtrack to accompany that story! In 2005, one of my […]
“Christmas Music – Our Favorites and What’s New!” by John DiBiase
It’s Christmastime again! Yes, Thanksgiving is over, so for those of you who wait until the turkey is fully digested to even think about jingling bells, the time is here. If you’re like us–and especially, me–you’ve already dusted off some Christmas records or plopped a batch of Christmas favorites onto your mp3 […]
We Recommend: Jars of Clay, “More Christmas Songs EP”
In 2007, Jars of Clay released an impressive modern Christmas record with a classic feel, titled Christmas Songs. As someone who was weaned on the kind of Christmas music my parents grew up on, I’m a sucker for any new Christmas music that even has a hint of what resembles real “Christmas music” […]
We Recommend: Seabird, “Over the Hills and Everywhere” EP
With Christmas swiftly approaching, it’s time to start dusting off the seasonal tunes and get into the spirit of the Christmas season. But with each new year comes new recordings from artists hoping to become part of your annual Christmas music rotation. Last year, Seabird released a 2-song Christmas EP that offered […]
We Recommend: Rebecca St. James, “Christmas”
Man… Christmas ’08 is next week?! Where in the world did this year go?? Well, it’s tradition to be cranking the holiday tunes more fervently by this time of the year, and as I’m typing this, my Christmas iTunes playlist is rolling (I love the work of composer Percy Faith… […]
We Recommend: “Family Force 5’s Christmas Pageant”
All year long, we had been hearing rumors (and subsequently confirmations and details) about a Family Force 5 Christmas album. Well, back in October (kinda early, but whatever), we were treated to their take on Christmas songs, as well as a couple of their own that they wrote for the album. The […]
We Recommend: Relient K, “Let It Snow Baby… Let It Reindeer”
This week, it seems only appropriate to recommend another Christmas album. In 2003, pop punk rockers Relient K produced a Christmas EP, creatively titled, Deck The Halls, Bruise Your Hand, and packaged it with their third studio album, Two Lefts Don’t Make a Right… But Three Do, later the same year. The EP was […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “Christmas Songs”
December 1st! Omigoodness, where did 2008 go?! Well, the end of the year is inevitably approaching, and with its approach comes CHRISTMAS! It’s my favorite holiday and time of the year, which is due in part to the season’s music! I grew up with the music that my grandfather passed […]
