Name Above All Names by Abundant Life Ministries

Distributed by Integrity Media Africa

It has been said that adversity yields great art. And in the life of every believer, adversity yields great faith. So it stands to reason that when adversity shapes together art and faith, the results can be extraordinary. Located in Bradford, England, Abundant Life Ministries is a remarkable testimony to the creative and spiritual power of adversity. Guided by Pastor Paul Scanlon, and with help from worship leaders Jonathan "Jock" James, Matt Hooper and Mark Stevens, Abundant Life has crafted songs that are inspired by and written for their community. Guided by Dove Award-winning producer Bernie Herms (Casting Crowns, Selah and Brad Paisley), Name Above All Names is a powerful collection of worship music that's as unique as Bradford itself. "There's an aggression, a determination, a defiance, that comes across in the songs," Mark says. "We place that sound in context of our city." Bradford needs real, direct strength and vision. It needs a church that's going to rise up with power." Jock adds, "We wanted to write songs that would help churches, that people can use in their congregations... we're about the local church, and people connecting with God." The result of their efforts is a soundtrack of hope conquering adversity.

Invisible Things by Joel Auge

Distributed by Integrity Media Africa

Canadian singer and songwriter Joel Auge follows his acclaimed solo debut On The Blue with Invisible Things, an 11-track studio album produced by himself and young producers Nathan Finochio and David Kuwabara. Auge, who has been compared to everyone from Rufus Wainwright and Jason Mraz to Snow Patrol, is known for combining simple, profound lyrics with unusual and sometimes haunting instrumentation. His latest effort doesn't disappoint. Invisible Things delivers all-new, worship-minded songs that capture the rawness of human emotion and chronicle a life of faith from "Here to Love," a plea for purpose and a promise of service, to the tender "Addison," a love song to his baby daughter.
