NASHVILLE, TN…MAY 17, 2011…BEC Recordings Bebo Norman is premiering the debut music video from his release Ocean today.  The music video for “God of My Everything” can be seen on Bebo Norman’s site beginning today along with the story behind the poignant song (http://bebonorman.com/god-of-my-everything/).  This radio single is currently climbing the charts as it lands at No. 5 on the Inspo chart and New and Active on AC Indicator this week. 

“God Of My Everything,” is a prayer inspired by a personal story about his brother’s fifteen-year struggle with prescription drug addiction.  Bebo wrote this song from his brother’s perspective on where to find hope and value – to let God be the God of Everything in our lives. You can also read more about his brother’s story as well as more about this song on the site.

Bebo wants people to be able to share their struggles and create a forum where individuals are able to talk about what is his or her ‘everything.’ On Bebo’s site along with the debut of his music video, he invites people to share their story.  Bebo asks, “My brother’s ‘everything’ is prescription pills, mine is my questions and doubt, what is YOUR ‘everything’?”

In September 2010, Bebo released Ocean as it was touted as his “finest effort” and one of the “top overall album(s) of 2010.” Ocean explores the theme of finding one’s real identity – where we find it, who we are, and where we draw life from.  Follow Bebo’s journey on Twitter @bebonorman as well as his blog http://www.bebonorman.com with song descriptions and stories from Ocean.

(Nashville, TN) April 26, 2011 – In a world of uncertainty, pain, and struggle, where do you find solid assurance and unshakable truth? Renowned Bible teacher and encouraging Women of Faith® speaker Sheila Walsh has created an inspiring collection of ten powerful bedrock promises from God that provide a foundation of peace, hope and strength in life’s storms. 

In God’s Shelter For Your Storm (Thomas Nelson, Jacketed Hardcover, ISBN: 978-1-4041-9010-8, $15.99), releasing in June, Sheila emphasizes the promises God supplies through His Word for living a life full of joy in the midst of difficult times. The chapters include promises on Peace, Confidence, Love, Grace, Hope, Strength and more to provide the reader with a shelter during life’s difficult storms.

“The storms of life are not discriminating. We all experience them no matter our age or status.  Any one of us at any time can find ourselves surprised by joy one minute and overwhelmed by grief the next,” shares Walsh in this uplifting book. “When these storms come, it’s our human nature to become anxious, even fearful, as we step into the unknown of what lies ahead. We get tired and confused and sometimes even lose our way as the weight of life presses down. But we’re told in God’s Word that we shouldn’t be surprised when we encounter these tough times. After all, Jesus Himself experienced them; why should we expect an easier path? Jesus promised that although we would face tribulation, to take heart (John 16:33). For He has overcome.”

This beautiful book is the perfect gift of encouragement for anyone struggling through a hard time, grief, or sadness. With God’s Shelter for Your Storm readers will build a deeper trust in God. Containing brief, easy to read chapters, this is a great resource for women’s, grief, or ministry counseling groups.

God’s Shelter For Your Storm is available for review via NetGalley now.

About Sheila Walsh:
Sheila Walsh is a powerful communicator, Bible teacher, and best-selling author with more than 4 million books sold. As a featured speaker with Women of Faith®, Sheila has reached more than 3.5 million women by artistically combining honesty, vulnerability, and humor with God’s Word. 

Author of the best-selling memoir Honestly and the Gold Medallion nominee for The Heartache No One Sees, Sheila’s most recent release, The Shelter of God’s Promises, has also been turned into a DVD curriculum and in-depth Bible study.

SEATTLE, WA…April 18, 2011…BEC Recordings’ band The Museum is nominated this week for mtvU’s Freshman Video of the Week.  Their current single “Never Look Away” is the music video competing for the top spot.  Fans can vote multiple times throughout the entire week from now until Friday, April 22nd at 2 pm Eastern.  Click here to vote.

About the song “Never Look Away”:
“I wrote the song as I was going through a season of life where I was praying and seeking God for direction and felt like He was completely silent,” shares frontman Ben Richter. “As I slowly learned to surrender my own will to Jesus, and He began to unveil His will in my life it was completely like a light shining into what had felt like darkness. It encourages me to know through any season of life, no matter what I’m up against that God is watching over me, and He will never look away.”

In other news, The Museum has just completed their tour with the organization, Not For Sale, and labelmate Rapture Ruckus.  The Museum spent this spring bringing awareness to Human Trafficking and Slavery on this “Not for Sale Freedom” Tour.  The band partnered with Not For Sale to provide a night woven together with music and education – a tour with a purpose.  The Not For Sale Campaign equips and mobilizes Smart Activists to deploy innovative solutions to re-abolish slavery in their own backyards and across the globe (http://www.notforsalecampaign.org/).

During the tour, more than $10,000 was raised for Not For Sale to help fight Human Trafficking. Fans signed up for “28 to Emancipate” where they agree to donate $28 a month for the Not For Sale Campaign to fight to end slavery.  In addition to the tour, The Museum participated on “Freedom Sunday” in March in Atlanta.

The Museum has also written and recorded a special song to raise awareness to end slavery and human trafficking. This single “Not For Sale” is available for free download: www.TheMuseumIsNotForSale.com.

Seattle, WA…March 28, 2011…BEC Recordings’ brings out the softer side with the newest signing of female singer/songwriter Jessa Anderson to the label family.  Anderson will release her label debut, Not Myself Anymore, on May 17th.  The label-debut album was produced by Brandon Perdue (The CO, The Ember Days) and Kevin Bruchert (The Glorious Unseen, Abandon).

Already, this artist has been making a name for herself with her radio debut single, “Not What I Thought,” impacting AC and CHR radio as it was New and Active as well as on the National Christian Audience chart. New fans can check out two of Jessa’s songs from the forthcoming label debut on her Facebook by simply “like”-ing her page.  This young mom is grateful for this opportunity to share her heart and music on a larger scale. 

“I seriously almost had a nervous breakdown the night before we left to start doing concerts [full-time], because it was weird to picture myself doing what I wanted to do and being on the stage,” shares Jessa, “now it’s up to me to say what I want to say and present [these] songs that are so personal to me.”

Drawing from an influential pool of strong female songwriters such as Sara Groves, Nichole Nordeman and Ginny Owens, Anderson’s music reflects a constant wrestling with the unknown and the darkest parts of humanity right alongside the gritty, everyday things that make up the human life.

“I always gravitated toward women who were writing their own music and just that honesty. That’s what I like to listen to, and hopefully that’s what I’m communicating when I’m writing songs, too,” she shares.

More About Jessa Anderson:
A 20-something Michigan native met her singer/songwriter husband, Jordan, while touring with Cedarville University. Shortly after she transferred to Belmont University and they married, the couple decided to pursue music full-time. With no back-up plan, they struck out on their own recording albums independently and booking their own shows. Jordan plays guitar for his wife, and he and their young daughter (Lorelei, of course inspired by “Gilmore Girls”) continue to travel with Jessa full-time.

SEATTLE, WA–March 24, 2011– Aaron Gillespie is launching his debut single’s music video, “We Were Made For You,” produced by Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, today exclusively at GodTube.com. Click here to view the video. 

Last month musician Aaron Gillespie traveled to Haiti with Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse to see first-hand the work of the organizations, as well as to tape a documentary that will debut this summer. Gillespie hopes that this music video and the upcoming documentary will bring back an awareness to Haiti since the 2010 earthquake as well as the work of BGEA and Samaritan’s Purse.

“God’s heart is humanity, and you really find it in Haiti. We are so convinced that we have it all figured out here, with our prosperity and all of our stuff, but we don’t. Gods heart is waiting, go find it,” shares Aaron Gillespie upon returning from his trip.

The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team and Samaritan’s Purse deployed within 24 hours of the tragic earthquake and has maintained a strong presence in the country since.  The two groups are meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the families that have been affected by the earthquake. Samaritan’s Purse has provided shelter for more than 10,000 families and over 50,000 Haitians.

Gillespie and his wife, Jamie, visited various areas and worked with these organizations to learn more about the country and the current situation.  Areas that Gillespie visited include the small villages of Titanyen and Simonette, Jesus’ Name orphanage as well as the Samaritan’s Purse Cite Soleil Cholera Treatment Center.

While visiting the Jesus’ Name orphanage, the director Jean Louis Esaie and the children personally touched Gillespie and his wife. While they were visiting, they saw the urgent need for a new latrine at the orphanage. The funds raised will go to this and other immediate needs at Jesus’ Name. A portion of the music video includes Aaron playing with the kids from Jesus’ Name. Also launching today is a micro-site, which includes a trailer for the documentary, exclusive photos from Aaron’s visit to Haiti, plus links to how you can join Aaron in helping the people of Haiti. You can visit www.ransom.tv/AaronG
