    Blood-Bought World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 293min
    If the Church is to rise up full of people who don't give a damn about the fleeting pleasures of this life and who care only for the glory of Jesus and his kingdom, we must once again grasp what made Jesus so eminently killable. If Jesus had been born in our day, the council that condemned him would have included a couple of well-known evangelical pastors, a few outspoken pro-life leaders, a conservative-libertarian-leaning politician, and at least one Bible-thumping fundamentalist. Jesus was murdered by church people, for churchy reasons. In Blood-Bought World, Toby J. Sumpter pinpoints the raw spots where modern-day Christians have allowed respectability, comfort, fear, love, fitness, authenticity, or other idols to become "fig leaves" to shield us from the persons of the trinity. We have relegated God to Sunday-school presentations instead of following Jesus on the path to real authority and power: the cross. God's undiluted sovereignty demolishes every false human claim of autonomy. Men and women who know Jesus have no patience for a polite social club with religious jargon. The real Christian faith, delivered to God's people and driven by the Holy Spirit, is a wild, rambunctious, healing force set on the redemption of the world. That is what "being Christian" means: Hello, world! Jesus bought this place with his blood. Deal with it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Toby J. Sumpter.

    Not Yet: Finding Freedom When Anxiety, Depression, and Other Crap Come Knocking at Your Door , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Sometimes when we look for black and white, all we find is more grey. Sometimes we are waiting on God to answer our prayer before we feel like we can trust he’s even listening. Toby Slough, a seasoned leader and pastor of a large church, shares candidly about his public battle with anxiety and depression. Through his story, you will find God at work in the most unlikely, “un-churchy” things. He is not standing far off somewhere waiting for you but walking with you, right in the middle of your brokenness and mess. God is with you in your "not yet".Not Yet is for those who fight feelings of being “less than”. For those who, like the prodigal son, are living in a pigpen, and whether it’s from your poor decision-making or someone else’s, you’re desperate for someone to throw you a lifeline. It’s for the divorced dad who never gets to see his kids. It’s for the single mom who lays down at night wondering where she’ll get the strength to make it another day. It’s for the business leader who, by all appearances, has it all but lays in bed at night wondering why his world is spinning out of control. It’s for the college girl who knows she shouldn’t measure her worth by comparing herself to the airbrushed images of Instagram but doesn’t have a clue how to stop that train from leaving the station. It’s for every person whose image of Jesus has been tainted by a Christian teacher, leader, or friend who made them feel like the problem was a lack of faith. It’s for the guy or girl who hasn’t had their biggest prayers answered and have convinced themselves, “Either something is wrong with me or something is wrong with God because this Jesus thing just doesn’t seem to work for me.” And it’s for the thousands of people just like me who love Jesus and suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, or depression and find themselves wondering what in the hell God is up to.Not Yet is about not beating yourself up for being scared but learning how to live with cou ungekürzt.

    Night's Last Tomorrow
    Review by Mick Mercer: 'The Night's Last Tomorrow' As satisfying as last year's darkly compelling 'A Southern Tale' this album relaxes in some comfort. Sinnis has achieved a type of decisive bleakness here which means he can do it almost softly, as the Gothic and Country influences melt lazily or hazily together. Where 'A Southern Tale' seemed a closeted collection, as though recorded indoors secretively, trying to keep something out and thoughts locked in, this album seems bathed in cool light, as though recorded outdoors. Never maudlin, while definitely moving on from glass-half-empty to gargling-poison-dismissively, it takes dark moods and lightens the load while you listen. 'The Night's Last Tomorrow' is a wonderfully drippy thing, the delicate balance seemingly suspended from the steel guitar, as quality lyrics also hover, Sinnis' vocals quivering somewhat but sticking to the point in a masterful display. It lulls you completely, because in another style it could be deeply depressing but here it's a curiously blissful opener. In the troubled '15 Miles To Hell's Gate' he's like a swashbuckling son of Johnny Cash, swaying and crooning dramatically, then we move towards an almost laconic 'Your Past May Come Back To Haunt Me' which unrolls a soothing red carpet beneath twisted, suspicious lyrics all demurely wrapped in a smartly delineated arrangement that harnesses past styles and modern attitudes, allowing menace to mellow. 'Fallible Friend' could just as easily go with some mariachi, or frisky acoustic, but it's a plain and simple song instead, moving at a steady grim pace, like a crotchety Clint Eastwood whittling his own wooden leg. Time slows, it's that stately. 'Follow the Line' is easier on the ear, lilting musically while the vocals threaten to tip over the edge, which is almost out of character in this setting. An unexpected and dignified cover of 'Nine While Nine' also works very well with a refined delivery. We slide down a creepy chute during 'The Fever' with some queasy imagery, then skate warily over a playful lake of doubt in 'Skeletons' with it's cunning use of organ. 'Scars' is odd, like an old Simon & Garfunkel melody squashed flat, a fridge over befuddled slaughter, and the traditional 'St. James Infirmary' is very strange as well, as befits a song so old the original creator isn't positively known. This is a melodramatic piece of doom, where the words clash with the properly agonised mood. The protagonist's love is dead, in the mortuary (I assume) and he's proudly proclaiming, 'she'll never find another man like me.' Well, how gallant, unless I'm missing something? We touch down again on a softly sentimental 'Out of Reach', and perk up during the fabulous 'Quiet Change' which has a rising commercial tug about it, and then during a brilliant 'Gloomy Sunday' you get to see what Sinnis can do when cooped up with an unlikely task, like Roy Orbison walking down subterranean corridors, alone in the dark. Rewriting a well known song he tinkers with certain lines and while he changes the end for what must have been a personal need, at one point he actually improves a line completely and there's not many people can do that, which may explain why on his website lyrics are referred to defiantly as poetry. 'In Harmony' will confuse as the churchy feel professes a quiet relief that death is approaching, as a friend, in catchy surroundings, then it all dies slowly away for good with the suitably sensitive 'When the Light Blinds and You Follow' A remarkably assured album this, and in many ways it must be quite funny for him, considering his punky past. I bet half his relatives are thinking, 'he was bound to come to his senses eventually.' Mature, melodic and at times as restful as it is haunting, this is really quite superb and as he's releasing an album ever year you wonder when he'll peak, because this is still just the ascent.

    Soul Social
    The latest CD offering from McKeesport's funky little Bonedog Records label is classic soul and R&B, sung by one the soulmen who's a classic himself -- Pittsburgh's Gus Collins. The album itself is pretty much an all-Burgh production, with 10 songs from the prolific Mike Sweeney, and a band that includes work by Dave Avery, Zack Weisinger, Jimmy Britton, Robbie Klein, Steve Delach, Robert Peckman and Sweeney himself. And more. Then there's Collins. This is his first solo album, even though he's been performing since he began singing on the streets of the North Side in the 1950s. By the time he was 11, he was singing with his first group, Sammy and the Belltones. He moved on to sing lead for the Lateers, an R&B group, which charted in '62 and '63 with 'Dance Party' and 'Sweet Cadillac.' He kind of retired from '78 to '95, then returned to sing with the Marcels, and currently, Elmoz Fire. What you get in 2010 is a powerful vintage soulful singer who knows what to do with his voice, whether it's sweet soul ('The Rain Can't Reach') or gritty R&B ('Don't Lie About Me' - and I won't tell the truth about you). 'A Thousand Thunders' is an especially punchy track with some fine call-and-response gospel overtones -- Stevee Wellons' backup vocals soar right along with Collins -- nothing better than music that's churchy and danceable. Here's a sample of that track: Collins vocals just basically pump high-octane soul into all these tracks. The title track is pure funky soul, poured on thick with a shouted falsetto opening, slipping smoothly into a tough groove for the rest of the track. 'Seven Day Lover' is another soul-scorcher with horn fills that make me remeber sax players who used to lie on their backs on the stage, legs kicking wildly, sax roaring. Now those were the days! There's even a torchy, broken-hearted tale of love gone wrong on 'Outside of Ohio.' It's hard to say enough good things about Collins' classic, painfully expressive singing, but the band hits it's own share of high notes with horns that whisper and shout in the best soul tradition, tough piano and organ from Britton, and great all-around support that sounds like it was born in 1955. I think that Jeff Ingersoll, the guy who runs Bonedog and the Boneyard, deserves special mention here. He's been working hard for about 15 years now, recapturing and re-creating this great old American music -- rock, soul, R&B and blues -- and doing it deep in the heart of the Pittsburgh area, where some of that music took root before anyone else in the country knew what was happening. This is American classical music. Catch it live while you can. Jim White - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
