| Discover the tools to create a new kind of church and move from merely surviving to thriving. Drawing on an extensive two-year field study of 200 churches from a variety of denominations and geographic regions, Milfred Minatrea--a missiologist, urban strategist and practioner in minister--presents the best practices for re-energizing Christian spirituality in a congregational setting. He provides readers with the tools for assessing their congregation's position on the continuum between maintenance and mission and for determining the actions that will move them toward becoming a missional community. He also outlines key strategies that successful churches have used to become relevant in a postmodern society without losing what is distinctly Christian in their spiritual practices. Milfred Minatrea (Irving, TX) is Director of the Missional Church Center for the Baptist General Convention of Texas. |

| Led by a desire to meet face-to-face with the different cultures they had heard so much about through their work with Compassion International and the Dalit Freedom Network, Caedmon's Call decided to record their new album in India, Ecuador and Brazil. They went to minister and ended up being ministered to as the people of these countries showed them a love and passion for Christ in the midst of unbelievable persecution and poverty. From the Dalit's ("broken people") of India to Ecuador's impoverished peasants, Caedmon's Call uncovered a rich musical and cultural heritage as well as a deep faith that transcended obstacles that would leave most American's hopeless. The album, Share the Well, chronicles these experiences through songs and music that reflect those cultures but in a way that is distinctively Caedmon's Call. The resulting project is a uniquely beautiful and moving recording that will inspire and challenge you to live in a spirit of faith, hope and trust. Features "Share the Well," "There's Only One (Holy One)," "All I Need (I Did Not Catch Her Name)" and more. |

| The new album from Nicole C. Mullen, Sharecropper’s Seed, is an ode to the American spirit. The title is drawn from her mother’s memories of growing up in the south as a share-cropper’s child and the title track is a simple story of a father whose primary care in life is his family. A man destined to hard labor with the hope of the good life, the song hints at the perseverance and undying spirit that has made America great. Each song lends a unique color to the intimate tapestry throughout. This is a moving collection of musical vignettes that open the doorway to inspiration and aspiration. “One Touch” is the biblically inspired story of mercy – a trademark Nicole C. Mullen hit. “So In Love” features famed “garbage can” percussion of Dan Weiner (Stomp) and “Eliohim” is a song that will speak to every woman. Nicole C. Mullen has opened her heart and given us that wonderfully intimate slice of herself. She has given the world that rare and honest expression of inspired creativity – Sharecropper’s Seed. |
