ALBUM FACTS Genre: Contemporary Christian Guest Artist: Vince Gill and Ricky Skaggs
Producers: Andy Leftwich and Point of Grace Radio Formats: CCM
Description: Directions Home (Songs We Love, Songs You Know) from Point of Grace - one of the best-selling artists in Christian music history - is a 10-song album that features some of the group’s favorite cover songs. “When we were discussing what kind of record we wanted to create, we really wanted to do something we hadn’t done before,”
6. LORD, I NEED YOU 7. HOME 8. YOU’RE GONNA MISS THIS 9. TWO ROADS (FEAT. RICKY SKAGGS) 10. THE CLIMB
says Point of Grace’s Shelley Breen. “In our live shows, familiar songs seem to bring the people in and we love singing them. This was a chance for us to record both older songs and newer songs that we love and that listeners know.” Directions Home encompasses the CCM heritage that Point of Grace has played a pivotal role in creating throughout their 20+ year career, as well as the Southern/Country/Bluegrass sonic foundation that has undergirded the ladies’ musicianship from the beginning, without conforming to the restraints of any given genre. Co-Produced by Andy Leftwich, who is also part of Ricky Skaggs’ GRAMMY® winning group Kentucky Thunder, the album features two of the music industry’s most respected and acclaimed artists, 8-time CMA and 14-time GRAMMY winner Ricky Skaggs and 18time CMA and 20-time GRAMMY winner, Vince Gill. Songs like “Friend of a Wounded Heart,” “The Climb,” and “Something in the Water,” along with “Home,” “You’re Gonna Miss This,” “Only Love,” “A Life That’s Good,” and “Lord, I Need You” took on new life as they were infused with Point of Grace’s rich harmony and elevated by co-producer Andy Leftwich.

Written by Plumb with contributions from top CCM writers, EXHALE finds Plumb in equal parts WORSHIPING God for all that He’s done in her life and EXHALING that grace/love/hope/healing into lives around her and through her music. The “exhale" concept is based on a sermon her pastor gave that deeply impacted her, wherein he said that the church "doesn’t exist for itself - we go to church to breath in the love of God, and then it is our role to breathe out and exhale that goodness into the world around us.” Exhale is produced by longtime Plumb collaborator Matt Bronleewe, mixed by Ainslie Grosser and mastered by Grammy Awarding winning engineer Tom Coyne (Adele - 21 / Taylor Swift - 1989 / Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour).

Once only known for feeding the minds of elementary school kids, educator and now breakout praise & worship artist CASEY J (stage name), is now feeding the souls of the masses with her powerful debut radio single “Fill Me Up,” which has quickly reached Top 3 and better on three (3) different Billboard gospel charts as well as Mediabase! CASEY J is featured in ESSENCE Magazine as a 2015 GOSPEL ARTIST TO WATCH, and the debut album, THE TRUTH, by this 28-year old vocalist is full of energy and truth indicative of the album’s namesake. Drawing from her rich musical legacy, CASEY J effortlessly provides a refreshing praise & worship experience for gospel and general music enthusiasts combined. While preparing for her debut project, CASEY J took a page from her childhood experiences of having church in her grandmother’s basement. A self-proclaimed flower child, CASEY J has been singing for more than 20 years and at the age of 12 she joined the Atlanta Young Singers of Callanwolde and sang with them until she enrolled at the University of Georgia. Later, she began teaching and sang with a gospel girl group briefly before launching her solo career. With this album debut, CASEY J is ready to make her mark as THE TRUTH is worship at its purest form created to minister to a diverse audience!

MYSTERIOUS WAYS Marilyn Rowe is a strong, intelligent, fiery choir director of her Baptist church. Once a lively person, her life is now consumed by her continued sense of loss and grief over the hit-and-run death of her son, eight year old Cody. Very competent at her job, which involves several rather opinionated personalities, Marilyn is somewhat removed from life and joy, and though she has a boyfriend, Roland, she’s unable to commit fully to him. When she accidently hits a homeless man with her car, Marilyn instinctively offers him clean clothes, food, and some money as repayment for her carelessness. However, when Marilyn discovers that Mozart is the man who hit and killed Cody, then drove away in fear, she gives into a long-simmering murderous rage and confronts Mozart with a gun. Eventually, Marilyn is able to come to terms with forgiving Mozart and moving on with her life. • Features an all-star cast: Wendy Raquel Robinson (BET’s The Game), Gary Dourdan (Being Mary Jane), Telma Hopkins (FX’s Partners) and Erica Campbell (from the group Mary Mary) Mysterious Ways Street Date: 4/7/15 DVD: 014381002393 $27.97 Studio: Image Entertainment Run Time: 79 minutes Rating: Not Rated Dove Approved: Yes

By Request…A Decade of Proven Medleys for Choir and Congregation Arranged and Orchestrated by MARTY PARKS
Imagine almost a thousand voices raised in glorious harmony, singing songs of the faith and accompanied by a grand church band and orchestra, as together they offer their adoration and worship to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! That is exactly what has happened each and every year for the past decade or more at the annual Choral Festival in Spartanburg S.C., sponsored by our friends at Christian Supply. Each year, Choral Festival has commissioned one of the church's favorite choral arrangers and personalities, Marty Parks, to arrange "The Opener" – a medley of hymns, praise choruses, worship songs, and gospel favorites blended together in an opening presentation that gives the event its signature launch every year, while setting the tone for ministry and encouraging an atmosphere of worship. Many have asked, "Where can I get those arrangements for my church?" or "Are those arrangements available for my choir?"
