Remedy
On 2007's REMEDY, David Crowder leads his Waco, Texas-based band through an easy-going and engaging set of Christian alternative-rock songs. Although the album is largely an acoustic affair (see the upbeat "Everything Glorious" and the plaintive "Never Let Go"), Crowder and company plug in and cut loose on the vibrant "We Won't Be Quiet," which features guitar work by newly transplanted Texan Ted Nugent. David Crowder Band: David Crowder (acoustic guitar); Mark Waldrop (electric guitar); Mike D. (bass guitar); B-Wack (drums); Hogan (turntables); Jack Parker (background vocals). Additional personnel: Taylor Johnson, Kevin Howren, Ted Nugent (electric guitar).

''Artist Overview''
David Crowder is one of the biggest names in Contemporary Christian Music. His band plays a mix of alt-rock and Dave Matthews-style pop marked by the occasional electronica touch. Crowder is a devout Christian and is unapologetic about his intent to proselytize via his band, hoping to convert the uninitiated and strengthen the resolve of the saved. That said, Crowder and his band are talented musicians and smart songwriters, and have garnered several Dove Awards over the course of their quick ascent to stardom. The group's 2007album, REMEDY, features a cameo from one-time madman turned born-again rocker Ted Nugent.

Is God To Blame?
This is often the question that comes to mind when we confront real suffering in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Pastor Gregory A. Boyd helps us deal with this question honestly and biblically, while avoiding glib answers.
Writing for ordinary Christians, Boyd wrestles with a variety of answers that have been offered by theologians and pastors in the past. He finds that a fully Christian approach must keep the person and work of Jesus Christ at the very center of what we say about human suffering and God's place in it. Yet this is often just what is missing and what makes so much talk about the subject seem inadequate and at times even misleading.
What comes through in Is God to Blame? is a hopeful picture of a sovereign God who is relentlessly opposed to evil, who knows our sufferings and who can be trusted to bring us through them to renewed life.
"In this stimulating work, Gregory Boyd shows how an incarmational theology focuses on God's action in Jesus Christ as the source for our knowledge of God. in Jesus we see what God does for us, how God loves us, how God feels for us and how God rescuues creatures and creation. This work restores an ancient view of Christianity that emphasizes the freedom we have to enter into a joyous relationship with God- a worlkview of hope for all of humanity."
''Robert Webber, Meyers Professor of Ministy, Northern Seminary, Lonbard, Illinois''
"In this new book from the pen of pastor-theologian Greg Boyd, we discover an answer to one of life's most difficult questions: If God is good, who do bad things happen? Boyd advances a radical notion: human history is a battle between God and Satan. We are part of this struggle, and what the future holds is (in part) up to us. Things are not all fixed from eternity. Agree or disagree, Boyd makes Christian faith exciting. I recommend this book to thoughtful Christians everywhere."
''Alan G. Padgett, Professor of Systematic Theology, Luther Seminary''
"Greg Boyd addresses what may be the single most asked question among skeptics and seekers. many without Christ are still waiting for us to respond with an intelligent answer. Greg provides an apologetic that actually makes sense about an iddue that really matters!"
''Erwin Raphael McManus, Lead Pastor, Mosaic, Los Angeles''

I repent for the giving of my time, money and talent towards this movement.

I repent and renounce for believing in the abode of kindness and to the personified glory of the Lord Shankara (the emancipator of the world), Shakarya (the redeemer hailed as Krishna) Badarayana, the commentator of the Brahma Sutras, the glory of the lord, whose door the whole galaxy of gods prays for perfection day and night and who is said to be adorned with immeasurable glory, preceptor of the whole world.
I repent for believing in any fulfillment gained from the Commentator who is skilled in dispelling the cloud of ignorance, and who is suppose to be the gentle emancipator.
