SOUNDBYTES:
RACHAEL LAMPA will star in the upcoming movie, Hidden Secrets, which is being called a “story of love, friendship, sorrow, regret, conviction, conversion and ultimately faith.” The Pure Flix Entertainment film is set to be released in theaters on October 6th and on DVD about a month later (http://www.HiddenSecrets-TheMovie.com/) <>< David Crowder of DAVID CROWDER*BAND is releasing his sophomore book on September 12th. Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, But Nobody Wants to Die: Or (The Eschatology of Bluegrass) (Relevant Books) will explore “the relationship between death, life, grief and community—a quest that was compounded by the sudden, accidental death of his friend and pastor, Kyle Lake.” <>< STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN has returned to the States after a seven-country 20-city tour that included stops in South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, China, the Philippines and Hong Kong. Chapman performed for more than 60,000 fans during the tour, which had six sold-out concerts and included five concerts for U.S. troops based
in South Korea, the first-ever contemporary Christian music concerts for troops based in that country. <>< The latest VEGGIE TALES project hits store shelves today (August 1st.)
