Contemporary Christian Music
Not all the good "stuff" is in an album. Sometimes there's a song or two all by itself just waiting to be discovered, so it's just natural that New Faith Favorites now presents individual items that are worth taking a peek at.
DEANNA LOVELAND
At 19 years of age, Deanna Loveland brings the freshness of youth, but also the experience of starting her musical journey at age 5. Her talent is amazing, and she is destined to be a top star in the Christian/pop idiom. Yet she is positively grounded in her faith.
She sees the Lord’s hand in her life and feels the blessings of being in His will. Deanna is sure that pursuing a career as a Christian/Pop artist is much like learning the piano was for her at age 5; it’s only the beginning. “This is a new challenge opening up an entirely new ministry! My heart goes out to this generation of young girls and I just pray that the Lord would use me to be a positive influence or role model in their lives.”

Moments
Jim Hargrove has written an exciting new song for Deanna with a Celtic Flavor, called "Blow, Sweet Spirit". This song is destined to be sung and heard all over the world.
Here are examples of the kind of comments that are coming in on this song:
"WOW, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would buy that in a heartbeat.....need a good manager?
keep me posted, that will surely hit the charts."
Joy Wilson, Lakeland, FL
"I just listened for the first time and was very impressed.
You have done an outstanding job in all regards - writing, arrangement, production."
Bob Johnson, editor of "Zion Song"
"The song is TERRIFIC!!! Great melody, outstanding production and instrumentation. Coming from an "all" Irish family, this is my kind of music.!!"
Linda Smith, "Full Circle Musik".

I'd like to introduce you to Jonathan David Emanuel. Jonathan, a fellow-messianic worshipper with me throughout the years at Son of David Congregation, has written a couple of songs and just wanted to see if they would bless others. Please give them a listen and let us know what you think.
JONATHAN DAVID EMANUEL
"The Lord was ready to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life, in the house of the Lord." (Isaiah 38:20).
Born and raised in a political atmosphere in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Jonathan developed a sensitivity to social problems and the needs of people. He had always enjoyed singing, listening to music and playing guitar, but as he grew older, he realized more and more the value of music not only for himself, but for others.
Being of Jewish heritage, Jonathan had not heard much about Jesus or the New Testament. During his enlistment in the United States Navy, he observed many situations that made him question his own personal beliefs and relationship with God. This quest for answers ultimately led Jonathan to becoming a Jewish Believer, and the resulting marriage of music and message became ministry.
It is Jonathan's desire to share with the public those songs which speak of the love and compassion of the Lord and the messages of the Bible.
Here's Jonathan's two new songs.
Jesus is the Only Way
If it's Good Enough for David
Written by Jim Hargrove and sung by Jonathan, this brand new praise song is already being lauded by everyone who hears it. Be the first in your group to "groove" on this retro rock. It has amazing guitar work by Brian Kooken, some smoking brass by MoHorns, absolutely cooking flute work by David Tauler of House Of echO, and wonderful words of praise. It's really a fun song. I hope you like it.

ANDY PRATT
Andy rocketed to the top of the rock scene in the 1970s. He then spent the next 20 years in Europe writing and singing spiritual songs. Now he's back with a new vibrancy in his life and music.
Check out his newest single release. "Yahweh" is an amazing song of deeply expressed worship.

I have known and ministered with George Comtois for a number of years. George is multi-talented and has a genuine love for the Lord and the people of Israel. Recently, he has teamed up with Jeremiah Ginsberg on a number of projects, one of which is the performance of "Mendel & Moses".
In the Spring and Summer of 1997, Jeremiah & Wendy Ginsberg produced "Mendel & Moses" at the Century City Playhouse in West Los Angeles, and at The Canon Theatre in Beverly Hills. It received excellent reviews, and was seen and enjoyed by no less than 7,000 theatre-goers.
George sings four of the songs from the production. There's some really interesting music here. You might even call it "neat".

The Ten Commandments
Moses' Farewell to the Israelites
Hear Oh Israel (The Shema)
Leeks, Onions, and Garlic
PEOPLE FAMILY
Zurich, Switzerland may be a long way away from the United States, but it is only a click away on the internet. Michael Angelo Gall is the sound programmer and producer of People Family. They have a thoroughly enjoyable, fresh sound. You will love their new song "Born to Praise You"
They call their sound Gospel House Music. I call it "techno rock", but you will call it just plain fun.
