Nothing But Holy

I thought you might enjoy some of the artwork for our upcoming album, Nothing But Holy.
A friend of ours, Ken Mabry helped us out with photography. I will be posting more in the coming weeks as we continue to work on the NBH project. If you haven't already checked out our website, be sure to visit www.amyredding.com.

We would like to thank the many people for whom we have had the privilege of performing our music this summer. Thanks to Judy and Harold Lee of the Grand Forks Gospel Sing for inviting us to be a part of a great day of gospel music and good food. Thank you to Bob and Pat Anderson and the staff of Trails End Ranch (www.ter.org) for allowing us to come out and minister with you. Thanks to Dennis Kaiser and the folks at the Bismarck Adventist Church. Thanks also to Verlyn Strenge and friends at Lake Bronson Baptist Bible Camp for having us out to camp again this year.

Please keep praying us through the process of creating our new album. It will not succeed without the help of our praying friends!

Coming Soon!

Coming soon..... a long awaited new album by the Redding family.

This one will be titled, Nothing But Holy (we think) after the song that started it all for us. In our former church, we introduced a new song to the congregation, which had kind of just fallen into our laps. Amy sketched out the lyrics and melody in her mind and when I got home from work she asked me to listen to the melody and see what I thought. I could immediately hear the chords she had been trying to find, and so I sat down to play. As I played, it became obvious what notes to play next and essentially we performed the song in its entirety the very first time! It was a really neat "God moment"!

People in church really responded well to the song and its meaning and they began to urge us to record our music. That is how our ministry began. We have since recorded one project of Christmas songs entitled, "Son of Majesty", and now it is time for a project featuring Amy's inspirational and worship songs. We hope you will enjoy it.

While we do not have a solid date set yet for release, our hopes are to have it ready to go this fall. Please stay tuned to this blog and our website, www.amyredding.com for more information as it develops.

God Bless!

Son of Majesty

Our first album, Son of Majesty, was released in December 2006. SOM started out as a collection of songs that Amy had written with our children in mind. Amy loves to write for children's voices, and sometimes those songs change shape and come out in a different form by the time they are completed. Now, two years later, more of our children are able to lend their voices to the mix, and we love to sing together.

Last year, we started doing church concerts featuring the music from the CD. The concerts have been very well received, and gratefully, they seem to help accomplish the goal that was behind Son of Majesty from the beginning. It has been our desire, to create a CD project that would reflect the worshipful spirit we should be in at Christmas time, but often find we are not. With our commercial American culture and busy schedules, it is very easy to lose sight of the fact that Christmas celebrates the incarnation of God Himself!

That's why Son of Majesty has such a peaceful and worshipful mood. We hope that anyone who listens to it, will take the time to consider that wonderful work that God did in sending His Son.

You can learn more about Son of Majesty at our website, http://www.amyredding.com/, including song samples and stories behind the music.

May you be blessed this Christmas season!
Paul and Amy Redding
