The Petra Zone

Could all that are going to be at the 2 concerts in Brazil give us some info on how the concerts went song line-up and all the good stuff.

Are any of you around planning on going? I will be there with my wife. Let me know if any of you are going and maybe we could hook up.

Yes, that is true. Inpop needs to be the one to say how many.

I know for a fact that soundscan will NOT let a store release sales figures. Believe me I've been trying to get updates for my local Christian stores on the JAH and all of them but one says they can not without permission. All that they will tell me is how many orders (30-60 copies) they have put in...

I think both of you have good points, and I feel that you are both right in some ways, but I disagree with Word and most other CCM labels because they are not doing this for the right reasons. It's a business and not a ministry. Yes they have to make a profit in what they are doing, but their prices...

I don't remember his name, but he is the one in Lord Of The Rings that has the long blonde hair and uses the bow wickedly. He reminds me of myself.

I want high sales for a couple of reason on is that Petra will be able to continue with their ministry, and 2 that the guys will be compensated for their hard work. Guest, Petra is different in my mind from any other CCM artist out their, because they put ministry first or foremost. It's not about s...

My question would be does Petra have the right to say no or do they have to give consent for the record company to put that out? No they do not. all the other compliations have been released without Bob or John's consent.

I really don't think they are allowed to give those out unless they have permission from the correct owner of the copyright, in which I would assume would be Bob.

Some of us around here have been talking about the sells of JAH( I am one that is guilty), but isn't this why Petra is Petra? I love to hear these type of accounts and I know Petra likes hearing these also, because it just shows that God is still using this ministry, and CCM is finally taking notice...

Yes, I've been a fan for a long time, but really think that Arrival is their most complete album. Steve Augeri doesn't really add anything to the sound, but I thought I was going to miss S. Perry more than I have.

It's because Petra is out there preaching the Gospel and they are starting to get things stirred up again with talking about Jesus and all, and the Devil HATES it. This is probably just one of his little soldiers doing his dirty deeds for him.

Sorry, but I try to stay away from Word music. Their just in it for the money. When anyone says that to you and you think they are judgmental or wrong, just remember what Jesus did to the merchants in the Temple.

I listen all the time on directv, but mostly the secular stations, because the CCM seems to be very flaky.

I emailed Bob a few months ago and he said he doesn't know exact #'s but Beyond Belief, PP1, & PP2 have gone gold (500,000 units sold) and that Unseen Power and Wake Up Call were very close. It might come to surprise everyone but he said that Back To The Street (one of my favs) was not in the top te...
