Twila Paris has simply titled her new CD Small Sacrifice. And from a theological perspective, anything mankind intentionally does for God is a tiny gift compared to what God has already done for His beloved creations. But looking back over Paris' illustrious musical career, this singer/songwriter's accomplishments are anything but small. She has released 22 albums, amassed 33 number one singles, and was named the Gospel Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year an astounding three separate times. And she's much more than just a pop songwriter because familiar Paris songs, like "He Is Exalted" and "We Bow Down", can also be found in many church hymnals.

Paris released her first full-length, Knowin' You're Around in 1981, and along the way she has written books, recorded children's music, and created timeless worship songs.Her song "God Is In Control" won a GMA Song of the Year award in 1995 and her 1992 Sanctuary release won the GMA Praise & Worship Album of the Year, just to name a few of her accolades. Even with all these accomplishments under her belt Small Sacrifice still stands out distinctly from Paris' past work.This new CD is being released exclusively through LifeWay Christian Stores. And it will also be available for purchase on Paris' website () and through iTunes.

Paris has helped to pioneer today's praise and worship music and contributed greatly to making this informal style acceptable to normally more conservative churches.Folks who purchase Small Sacrifice will discover new worship songs like "Live to Praise" and "Alleluia." But this fresh release also showcases Paris the well-rounded songwriter, as it displays compositions with wide ranging spiritual application.
