MUST READ about Fifty Shades of Grey

This article is spot on when it comes to healthy vs. unhealthy relationships.  This article is by a pediatrician and child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist, as well as a mother.  Please read this short article for an evaluation of this unhealthy movie.  It's expected to be one of the most attended movies ever on Valentines Day, but it's preaching something to you that can harm you and your future.  We need to make wise choices in our entertainment.

A movie called, "Old Fashioned", shown today in some states, is a much better alternative, showing what a healthy relationship looks like.  It looks like a wonderful film to watch that promotes respect to women and a caring relationship.

Today is my Release Date for Beauty in Pain!

I am very pleased to announce that today is my release date for my Beauty in Pain album!  You now have more options than just ordering it through Tate Publishing  Buy CD from Tate Publishing, or through Tate Music Group See electronic press kit, or by coming to one of my book signings or concerts (for event listing, see link above "See electronic press kit" under "events").

As of right now, I see it online through amazon.com and have noticed it on the American site, French, German, UK, and Japanese sites.  Amazon has samples that you can listen to, to get an idea of the style and tone of my music/voice.  You can also download singles, or the entire album if you choose.  It's also available on many other sites, but I've listed three links below.

I hope you are encouraged and blessed by listening to my songs!  I am currently writing my 4th book, and it's about music.  The working title is: "Choosing Music Wisely: Revolutionizing Christian Music in the 21st Century."  I am hoping to submit my manuscript by the end of the month.  My hope and dream is to create and encourage other artists and performers to create God-honoring music, music in which God is pleased and glorified, without carnality.  There is a balance, as we can take music to two extremes, and I lay practical guidelines out using God's Word, some great resources, and 30 years of music experience in ministry as my guide.

God bless you!

Fully Persuaded book completed! Ready to purchase!

Yay!!!  My Fully Persuaded book is finally complete! It is available to order via Tate Publishing now.  It's a book that will help you be more confident in your beliefs in Christianity, and explain it to others. Covers topics such as critical thinking, tolerance, biblical worldview, Christians and judging, existence and attributes of God, reliability and preservation of Scripture, world religions, doctrines of the faith, social issues, prayer, and more!

It is 500 pages long, but an easy read.  There are some areas that get deeper, but I always bring it around to a practical application.  Geared toward teens and college-aged young people, but adults will love it, too.

At the end of each chapter there are verses to reflect upon, and a self assessment and challenge, similar to I Will Stand.  Enjoy your book!

Pictures from Jacob's Well Christian Coffeehouse concert 1-2-15

I had a great time at the Jacob's Well Christian Coffeehouse on January 2, 2015. Jacob's Well Christian Coffeehouse. It was a great way to start out the new year!  I sang songs from my Beauty in Pain album, and also one from my Walking in Wisdom album, which will be published in 2015.  It was such a joy to meet Drew Crandall, and all the folks that make Jacob's Well Christian Coffeehouse possible.  Everyone was so friendly, and truly glowed with love for the Lord and His ministry.  They are doing a wonderful work there in Rockville, and it was encouraging to hear that there are other towns that are proclaiming Christ across the state of CT, and making a real impact in the lives of the community.  What an honor it was to be there, to have a little part that evening in that great work!

Below are some pictures from that night.  The music touched many hearts, and God was honored and glorified.  My Beauty in Pain album will be released to distribution (amazon.com, bestbuy.com, walmart.com, rhapsody, iTunes, etc.) on 2/10/15.  I am anxious to see how the Lord uses these songs He put on my heart to write.  I hope they will be a blessing to many.  To order your copy today, please see this link: Buy Beauty in Pain CD. There are samples at that link, so you can hear some of the songs. You can also see my music video at: "Feelings" music video by Dawn Foss.  There is also a lyric video for my "Christmas Love" song, which has been very popular. Christmas Love lyric video

I am looking to book many more concerts in 2015.  If you are interested in having me come to your church or venue, please contact me at www.dawnfoss.tateauthor.com.  I would love to come!  I am open to come anywhere in CT, and even NY, RI, or Mass if relatively close to the CT border. There is no cost to you to have me come, only that I may have a book/CD table to give the attendees an opportunity to buy my books and CD's if they wish.

God bless you!
