Casting Crowns "Peace on Earth"

Casting Crowns: Peace on Earth
Traditional Christmas songs are mixed with new arrangements for the holiday. While You Were Sleeping reflectively warns America to wake up and make room for the baby born in the manger, Sweet Little Jesus Boy’s lullaby-style croons a repentance message. And God Is With Us reminds us that peace on earth is not out of reach.

Annie Moses Band "This Glorious Christmas"

Annie Moses Band
Celtic-style, this CD/DVD Christmas compilation showcases instrumental songs and crystal clear vocals with a Phantom of the Opera style. But bluesy Red, White, & Blue Christmas is wonderful for anybody with a loved one serving in the military; a tribute to our soldiers and “my Santa on the roof flies a red B52” as we throw a Christmas party for the ol’ USA.

Michael W. Smith "A New Hallelujah"

Michael W. Smith: A New Hallelujah

Michael W. Smith’s latest praise and worship CD highlights the African Children’s Choir for a unique blend of soulful worship. Deep in Love with You is about Abba Father and being at home at his feet, while southern gospel sounding Help is on the Way  recounts how Jesus uses the hard times in life for the good.
