  The Jesus Music: A Story of Redemption as Told by Those Who Lived It shares that story: people creating something they wanted, something that never existed before. The Jesus Music explores the history, evolution, and redemptive thread of Contemporary Christian music over the last fifty years as it spans the convergence of rock and roll, country, and gospel music. As CCM grows, readers will see California artists as much a part of hippie culture as Christian culture, religious-focused bands and songs denounced by some church leaders of the day, and best-selling artists who rose, and sometimes fell from fame, as they journey through the music and experience the often delicate balances between faith, fame, mission, and humanity as they relate to Christian music.  The notable voices of Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Kirk Franklin, and TobyMac, as well as the stories of dozens of additional Christian artists, will hit all the right notes and explore:  - The roots of the movement, spanning from Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to Switchfoot, Chris Tomlin, Hillsong United, and beyond.  - The stories of pioneers in the genre, including Larry Norman, Lovesong, and Stryper  - Insights into how history, culture, and technology shaped the Contemporary Christian music we hear on the radio today.  - Examples of God’s steadfast love as He uses artists despite their human mistakes and shortcomings.  - How the message of the music transforms lives and has impact beyond artistic expression. The Jesus Music is perfect for anyone looking to explore the history of the genre and discover how God can use us despite our flaws to impact the world.

  Be Determined (Nehemiah) -...

  Best-selling author Warren Wiersbe unwraps the book of Nehemiah in his study Be Determined to show a servant so selfless, a mission so humbling, and a perseverance so admirable that Christians are drawn to a new awe of God. As the leader God calls to mobilize and equip His people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah was a man who didn't know the word no when it came to God's economy. 
  God strategically summons the man of Jewish descent from his comfortable high position as Artexerxes' cupbearer at the palace in Persia to the difficult role as leader of the Jewish remnant. To this remnant of his own people, Nehemiah is called to empathize and share God's plan for their physical, emotional, and spiritual reconstruction. If open to it, readers will hear the Holy Spirit's direction in their own lives, and will surrender themselves to the God who equips them to do all things through His infinite strength.

  This book tells the impressive story of the young Gabriel Guilherme Estevão, dedicated from birth to the service of demons. In a clear, direct, and impressive way, Gabriel tells how he was educated and prepared to be an agent of service to the forces of darkness, and unmasks the form of performance of the fallen angels. Meanwhile, the most important - and beautiful - of this book is regarding how God reached out and freed the young Angolan, turning him into an instrument of salvation and blessing for many people. An important reading that reminds us that the great conflict between good and evil is real and that we need to choose the right and victorious side in this battle.

  This collection of memoirs walks the reader through the experiences of a child growing up in Omaha, Nebraska in the 1950s. Her young life in Cathedral parish centers around church, school, and neighborhood whose ever-widening perimeters became her arena of learning, mischief, and play. School stories began with the bewilderment of a five-year-old, meeting for the first time a traditionally dressed Dominican sister, her first-grade teacher. Then through other stories with a child's vision, we see the education she received, activities in which she participated, and the people surrounding her in her twelve years at Saint Cecilia's Grade School and Cathedral High School. Her stories also visit places that no longer exist, like Peony Park, Aksarben, Blackburn Pharmacy and even, sadly enough, our Cathedral High School. Although these places no longer exist, visiting them again will show you how special they were, and how much fun they brought to young lives. The real stars of these memoirs are the people that made them memorable. Usually identified only with their initials, they bring forth stories that were fun to revisit. Each person was one component in the development of a young life so different from those growing up in the twenty-first century. The all-important family, the class of thirty-five first graders that grew to 111 high school graduates, the sisters and priests that gave their lives to their God, and to their students were all important pieces in the development of this Catholic Girl in the '50s. Mary Ellen Kauth Olsson (AKA Baba Herk) is a wife, mother of four, and grandmother of one and a retired alternative educator with a BA in English and history from Duchesne College and an MS degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She has written stories and poems throughout her seventy-seven years, but writing her memories for the Echo section of the "Cathedral Chimes" and the desire to share her family stories with her grandson developed this...
