Welcome to a unique venue for sociological and literary analysis of contemporary Christian music (CCM) albums published since approximately 1965.  Its general academic purpose is to trace the trajectory of social awareness and humanitarian concern through the swiftly growing sub-industry of CCM publishing.  Its practical goals are to encourage greater demand for and production of well-written songs having clear Judeo-Christian sociological messages.
