    CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 1 A Survey of Christian Cross-Over Songwriting Core Principles and Potential for Impact Paul Malhotra A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2013 CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ John D. Kinchen III, D.M.A. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Michael Babcock, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Mr. Don Marsh, M.S. Committee Member ______________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 3 Abstract A cross-over song has been defined as a song written by a Christian artist aimed at a mainstream audience. An understanding of the core principles of cross-over songs and their relevance in contemporary culture is essential for Christian songwriters. Six albums marked by spiritual overtones or undertones, representing a broad spectrum of contemporary cross-over music, were examined. Selected songs were critiqued by analyzing the album of origin, lyrical content, author’s expressed worldview, and level of commercial success. Renaissance art also provided a historical parallel to modern day songwriting. Recommendations were developed for Christian songwriters to craft songs with greater effectiveness to impact the culture while adhering to a biblical worldview. CHRISTIAN CROSS-OVER SONGWRITING 4 A Survey of Christian Cross-Over Songwriting An exploration of Christian cross-over music can provide an objective framework for evaluating songs and developing guidelines for Christian songwriters so they can enhance their effectiveness in communicating with their audiences.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 30, 2008 RELIENT K CELEBRATES 10th ANNIVERSARY WITH THE BIRD AND THE BEE SIDES EP, SCHEDULED FOR JULY 1st RELEASE ON GOTEE RECORDS 26-Track EP Includes 13 Brand New Songs Plus Career-Spanning Collection Of B-Sides; Online Scavenger Hunt Kicks Off June 16th, Giving Fans A Chance To Download Additional B-sides For Free Band Co-Headlines Vans Warped Tour ’08, Kicking Off June 20th Relient K’s The Bird and the Bee Sides – scheduled for July 1st release by Gotee Records – is by far the most ambitious EP of the band’s career. In fact, with 26 songs (including 13 brand new ones) and a running time of 70 minutes, it may be one of the most ambitious EPs ever released, period. And, as improbable as it sounds, there’s still more: Prior to street date, Relient K will launch an online scavenger hunt that will give fans a chance to download numerous b-sides that will not be included on the disc. The hunt begins June 16th at the band’s MySpace site and will continue through June 30th. For additional information and clues, visit: http://www.myspace.com/relientk The band typically releases an EP between studio albums. So following Five Score And Seven Years Ago – which debuted at #6 on The Billboard 200 in 2007, becoming Relient K’s highest charting album to date – the guys decided to make their latest EP something of an alternate career retrospective, comprised of b-sides, demos and other rarities from its 10 year history.

    Living Memories Reflections of Students Volunteering in VA Hospitals Federated Wholesale, Inc. Living Memories Reflections of Students Volunteering in VA Hospitals Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service Office and United Students for Veterans’ Health i ii Foreword The evolution of health care and the expanding VA health care system have provided increased opportunities for American citizens looking for ways to serve veterans by sharing their knowledge, skills and creative talents. The Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service Program (VAVS) provides a valuable resource for dedicated volunteers interested in help- ing others. The VAVS Program has attracted a growing corps of dedicated volunteers with an increased capacity to meet the changing needs of veterans. Established in 1946 with eight charter members, the VAVS Program today is comprised of 61 national veterans, civic and service organizations. As the largest volunteer program in the Federal government, the VAVS Program is sustained by the commitment, energy and enthusiasm of a diverse group of volunteers. These volunteers serve in VA health care facilities, home-based programs, nursing homes, veteran outreach centers and in VA national cemeteries. Collectively, these dedicated volunteers have contributed more than 521 million hours of volunteer service since the program's inception. The numbers only tell part of the story. The level of caring and unshakable devotion to helping others that is demonstrated daily by VAVS volunteers is immeasurable. Without their assistance, the quality of services and programs designed to enhance patient care would be greatly compromised. We are particularly interested in increasing volunteer participation by young adults throughout the country. VAVS has great opportunities to offer the leaders of tomorrow not only through the experiences of the actual volunteer activity, but also through the development of relationships with a group of very special people, our nation's heroes.
