•What Are People Saying About Jesus' Chairs?

Sue Smith (blogger of "Writing About Writing About Jesus") wrote us to say:

"Hey Robert... Loved the book! I wrote about your book in my blog today." Here's an excerpt from her blog:

"...What I really enjoyed and what makes this book different is that it uses great examples from both secular and Christian songs and quotes a number of accomplished Christian writers. I feel honored to be quoted in a few chapters, along with the likes of Lowell Alexander, Claire Cloninger, and Tony Wood, for starters. I found myself reading with my pen in hand so that I could underline things I wanted to go back and refer to again."

• New Release Highlights

Peace on Earth - A Christmas Musical
(Available through Word Music)
Well-known praise songs ("Dwell") and evocative new worship offerings ("Holy Is the Lord" by Regi Stone and David T. Edwards) are combined seamlessly with beloved carols ("Silent Night! Holy Night!," "Good Christians All Rejoice," "Sing We Now of Christmas") to share the story of salvation that Jesus' birth brings.

"When I Don't Know What to Do" - Anthem
(Available through Word Music)
Robert's new arrangement of Tommy Walker's latest song features a laid-back Memphis soul sound and choral parts that your choir will love to sing.

"Blessed Assurance" - Anthem
(Available through Shawnee Press)
Anyone who has ever enjoyed Robert’s best-selling arrangement of “Jesus Paid It All” will love this anthem. It is a haunting and tender setting of the well-known Fanny Crosby hymn. Surprisingly different from what you might expect.

"Soli Deo Gloria" - Anthem
(Available through Word Music)
An optional two-minute stand-alone drumline piece, "Declare His Glory," is designed to be played immediately before or after the "Soli Deo Gloria" anthem. It includes parts for snare drum, "quad" drums, bass drum and cymbals.

"Our Help in Ages Past" - Anthem
(Available through Shawnee Press)
A vibrant and unique setting of the familiar Isaac Watts hymn. The piano accompaniment is challenging and exciting.

"Joy Has Dawned Upon the World" - Anthem
(Available through Lorenz Music)
This joyful new Christmas hymn from Keith Getty has been set in a traditional choral arrangement with a lovely symphonic orchestra accompaniment.
