Hallelu Et Adonai (Praise the Lord) - Ted Pearce

Growing up, my favorite songs in church were always Amazing Grace and The Old Rugged Cross. I'm not religious now, haven't been to church in 10 years, but still really like both of those songs.

Some author was at Ole Miss last week and gave the keynote address.

Topic was "Why are the Pentacostals the Rock Stars of Christian Music."

Gave examples: Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Ray Charles.
