Sometimes there is nothing better than to
sit back, relax and listen to music
that strengthen and inspire my body and soul.

I am extremely interested in new music and
breakthrough artists, so I was really excited
when I came across these songs. I really
wanted to share them with you.

It can cost $20 and up to buy these albums
from the record stores so being the frugal
guy I am, I browsed around online to see if
I could find the albums that contained the
songs I liked for a decent price.I always seem
to have pretty good luck with Ebay and this
time was no exception.I found some great deals!

Here are my top Picks for this week:

#1
“Gone” by Toby Mac - Album: Welcome to Diverse City
Click for “Welcome to Diverse City” on eBay

#2
“Hold Fast” by Mercy Me - Album: Coming Up to Breathe
    Click for “Coming up to Breathe” on eBay

#3
“All I Need” by Bethany Dillon - Album: Bethany Dillon
    Click for “Bethany Dillon” on eBay

#4
“The Glory of Your Name” by Watermark Album: Grateful People

Originally I was drawn to only one or two songs from
each of the albums (you know how that can be).
The dilemma of… should I buy the entire album
for this one good song?

Don’t worry, it turns out these are fantastic albums,
and have many good songs.They are also very
highly rated, popular and reasonably
priced. I wouldn’t be suprised if you
have heard theses songs or are familiar with
the bands, they all have awesome reputations. I am
sending along the names of the songs I loved,
and also the links where I purchased the album.

Tell me what you think of these artists,
Personally I am very impressed.

Here is a list of these albums as they appear on
ebay:

I have been asked by more than a few people about what is new and exciting in Gospel music. Well new or old I can tell you it is all exciting to me. I really just love Gospel.
All that soul and beautiful voices lifted to his praise, it’s hard not to clap your hands and shuffle your feet!

Here is a short list of Gospel albums that have just been released in the past few months, all of which  recieved very good reviews by listeners.

I usually find music at a bargain on eBay.com. Even on brand new releases there will be people selling their CDs for a fraction of the retail price.

I went ahead and done the research for you and when you click on the the album title in the list below, it will take you straight to the appropriate page on eBay to look around for yourself.

I think that any of these albums would make a fantastic Christmas present and really honor the lord on His day!

Go ahead! Bid on…

Our minds are hungry for knowledge and we are calmed and soothed by the teachings of the bible.
It is as if we can read its passages and see beforeus where we have come from and ultimitly where we are headed.

Yesterday as I was prepairing for another long week, I felt that familiar tightness in my neck and those anxious butterflies in my belly. I would recognize those symptoms anywhere, it was the beginnings of stress. Its like a constant battle for most people trying to keep the peace and also juggle hectic lives.
I tried everything I could think of to calm my mind and body.

I still felt tense as if I could just explode from nervous energy, it was strange to say the least.

I sat on the couch and tapped my fingers then I saw my MP3 player (Which I got on eBay at a bargain) laying on the counter. I put on the head phones and started listening to some great christian tunes and suddenly I was inspired! To do what, I didnt know. I searched around the house while the music played in my ears and before I realized it I was out the front door jogging down my street and feeling fantastic!

After my run I came back home with a feeling of sheer exaustion, which soon melted into complete pleasure. The pain in my neck gone, the butterflies in my belly nowhere to be found. I was stress free!

It is easy to be so absorbed with our thoughts and troubles that we forget to take care of our mind and body. There is a way to gather strenth and encouragement from Him for both. I made a small list of some of the songs i listened to on my jog yesterday. Give them a try or make your own list and give you body and mind the release it needs!

• What If His People Prayed
• Meant To Live
• No One Like You
• High Of 75
• Love Them Like Jesus

I Hope you enjoy

Till next time,

Yours Trully,

Gospel music is generally believed to have come from African American slaves. It was a way of expressing faith and praises through joyful music so very much distinctive of them. Most gospel music contains some downtrodden themes that can stir different emotions among its listeners; it has a passion that can be traced back to the slave’s willful creation of their own worship hymns in spite of hard times. If you listen to gospel music carefully, you’ll understand the genius in it.

But the whites have also created a gospel music style of their own; the southern gospel music or simply “white gospel.” Southern gospel music is believed to have originated in the late 19th century from the white evangelical Americans. Its style, on the other hand, was believed to come from hymns. Typically, southern gospel music includes sparse instrumentation or none at all.

Contemporary Christian music is a fusion genre of southern gospel music and the bluegrass gospel is its subgenre. The latter’s mainstream popularity is attributed to its secular artists, including Elvis Presley, and evangelists, like Billy Graham and Jimmy Swaggart. But history has it that southern gospel music has been developed from the Holiness churches that arose in the first decade of the 20th century throughout the south. This phenomenon created new kind of music for this new forms of worship—in addition to those traditional hymns that were created in the 18th and 19th century.

Southern gospel music is called such so as to distinguish it from black gospel. Mostly, southern gospel and its roots are attributed to the published works and “normal schools” of Aldine S. Kieffer as well as Ephraim Ruebush. And like black gospel, southern gospel also has numerous notable artists and performers.
