This has resulted in creating a sub-genre of Christian popular music that has been written off by most of society as overly sentimental and at its worst, plain kitsch. The creation of this sub-genre has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rocinexile.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5115369&amp;post=941&amp;subd=rocinexile&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
