We've Been Waiting for You
Carolyn Arends
2B Records
One of Christian music's finest singer/songwriters has put together a joyful soundtrack celebrating one of life's great adventures-parenthood. With lyrics ranging from the poignant to the witty, this CD is a perfect gift for any new or expecting couple. (Note: the CD is available only at carolynarends.com.)

Welcome to Wonderland
Big Fat Jam
Absolute Records
Confession time: In high school, I loved the Southern-fried rock sound of the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. And now, just when I figured I was over it, along comes this album. If the Allmans or Skynyrd found Jesus, this is sort of what you'd get. Loud, raucous, fun – and solid lyrically

The Eleventh Hour
Jars of Clay
Essential Records
The only "problem" with Jars' stunning 1995 debut – one of the best Christian CDs ever – was that it set a standard so high that even Jars couldn't live up to it. Their next two CDs, Much Afraid and If I Left the Zoo, were relatively forgettable, but this one's a keeper. An intelligent, well-conceived, and brilliantly executed rock album.

Incredible
Mary Mary
Columbia Records
Hands-down the best Christian R&B album of the year. Sisters Erica and Tina Atkins follow up their brilliant debut, Thankful, with an even better sophomore effort. It's also a bargain-17 tracks and just over 70 minutes of music guaranteed to move your soul … and your feet. If you can sit still while listening to this, check your pulse.
