This week, HearItFirst.ca presents a modern rock band hailing from the cornfields of Nebraska that features the new lead guitarist of the Newsboys, and a compliation of songs that supports a book about the incredible stories of God’s faithfulness in the face of uncertainty and danger.

When modern rock trio Casting Pearls formed in Nebraska, it subscribed to a philosophy all its own. Instead of trying to force its way down unnatural avenues and peddle demos to major labels like most bands, the members of Casting Pearls just let it happen naturally. Time allowed Casting Pearls to hone its work ethic, sharpen its musical skills and create some of the most hook-heavy songs to hit the radar as of late. Now, emerging as a seasoned veteran of the music scene, Casting Pearls brings its label debut via Inpop Records.

Beth Moore is a celebrated author and the founder of Living Proof Ministries and the Living Proof Live conferences, an organization that teaches women how to love and live on God’s Word. Beth Moore Presents Voices of the Faithful features a compilation of songs that support the incredible stories of God’s faithfulness in the face of uncertainty and danger found in Moore’s book of the same name. Produced by worship leader Travis Cottrell, the CD contains 5 songs that are not available on any other album. Each song will ignite a passion in the hearts of listeners as they meditate on these inspiring stories of faith and courage from Christians serving around the world.

Head over to HearItFirst.ca to listen to samples from these projects. “Voices Of The Faithful” will available on August 2nd and Casting Pearls’ self-titled debut will be available on August 16th at Canadian Christian retailers nationwide. To locate the store nearest you, visit CMCStoreFinder.com.
