It is love! It's our response in love to our great God who loved us first. As well, it's our love for others. Hopefully these songs will renew in some way or stir up again your love for God and His people. It's pretty exciting these days to see the Church awaken to the portion of it's calling where it serves the "least of these," where we carry those less fortunate than ourselves not just in a special place in our hearts, but in our finances, our energy, our life. And the motive and heart behind all of it is love. That's it. More simply put, worship is "love with legs." It's on the move! It's not just words and melody. As Paul says so well in 1 Cor. 13:13...And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - -Chris Tomlin Rock Rwanda Vol. 1 8450102306 $14.99 Quantity: What started out as a response to musicians asking the question of how they could be a musician as a career long-term, has now turned into a movement. Perhaps in its simplest form, Rock Rwanda exists to connect artists with cause with an eventual goal to connect artists with artists to encourage, strengthen, and grow the kingdom. After spending time with Enrics Sifa, other area musicians and the Morones family… it quickly became our realization that this was indeed possible. Then along came Kris McGreevey, who happens to be co-owner of an amazing recording studio called, Downbeat Sounds. Not only did we want to have a concert, Kris asked… “Why don’t we do a CD?” And now… here we are as 17 Northwest artists all donated a song for the project along with Enric and Hindurwa offering two songs.

Powell's voice has also never sounded better as the opening rock anthem, "This is Who I Am," helps establish the band's confidence and security in who they've become. Even when the guys slow it down for some folk-flavored ballads like "Born Again" (which beautifully features Lacey from Flyleaf) or "Let Me Love You," the band maintains a nicely organic sound that doesn't feel over polished.

Ruth: Anorak 9992177422 $9.99 Quantity: On the heels on a very successful first release, and even more impressive touring history Ruth returns with their sophomore smash "Anorak" (a reference a person who has an unfathomable interest in something, and feels compelled to talk at length about it). Over the last year the band has lived up to the title and crossed the country multiple times delivering a message through their music. After sharing the stage with the likes of Switchfoot, Relient K, and Emery the band settled in for a few months to record with an acclaimed roster of producers. Production duties were handled in part by Aaron Sprinkle (Hawk Nelson, Kutless, Anberlin) and the album was mixed by Ken Andrews (Mae, Thousand Foot Krutch) and JR McNeely (Jeremy Camp Relient K). On "Anorak" sonically Ruth takes everything that ruled about '90s alternative--Nirvana, Radiohead, Third Eye Blind, Counting Crows-- and peppers in the introspective finesse of singer-songwriters like Ryan Adams, and for their own extraordinary blend of impassioned, dynamic pop. "I have always been a sucker for melody," confesses frontman Dustin Ruth. "I wanted to take all the best parts of my inspiration, combine that with a genuine presentation of my experiences in the lyrics, and write songs that people would remember and be transformed by."
