What books and songs would you like us to release?
Here at Out of the Ark, we are starting to think about the songbooks that we will release in the latter part of 2009 and during 2010. We would love your feedback! Drop us a line and tell us the subjects that you would like us to write songs about, the books that you can't find but wish were out there and any other great ideas that you may have to keep our children singing. For example what should the next EVERY series book be about and what subjects would you like to see added to the My World series of songbooks - and what are we missing altogether?
We look forward to hearing from you. Email us at music@outoftheark.com
