• The Samples - The Very Best Of The Samples Review

• The vonTrapp Children

  The vonTrapp children are carrying on the families musical tradition. These are the grandchildren of Werner (Kurt in the movie). Their father is Stefan. They sang several songs from the Sound of Music along with some folk and relatively new songs mixed into the mix. They are well worth the money if you loved the movie.

• Oasis - Don't Believe the Truth

  So what's the "Truth" anyway? Is it that Oasis is washed up and beyond their prime as some may have believed? Maybe the real truth is that Don't Believe might be the album that's remembered in 2005 over the much delayed X&Y from Coldplay. Oasis has made a strong argument with their latest work and has defined themselves once again as a leader of the Brit Rock movement. Check it out for yourself.

• The King James Only Controversy by James White

  This book is written to be very accessible to anyone who is looking for good information about the debate. White's purpose is not to engage in intellectual discussion of the issue; he is seeking to give the average reader basic knowledge so that they can understand the issue and its implications to Christians. He also makes an effort to refute many of the more popular arguments of the KJVOnly apologists.
