Houston, TX — Leading Gospel magazine Path MEGAzine recently announced that it’s getting into the clothing industry with its new inspirational line “Path Wear.”

The new clothing will feature inspirational and motivational messages, along with seasonal apparel. This marks another entity that the production giant Parallel Path Entertainment has funneled through its assortment of faith-based brands which include Path MEGAzine, The Gospel View web show, and the video production & design services Parallel Path Entertainment’s name originates from.

Kris Patrick, CEO of the parent company Parallel Path Entertainment says, “Path Wear is something that will allow us to make clothes that we wish were commercially available.” “With our first few designs we received an immediate response from people looking for trendy, positive, and motivational clothing.”

The theme of our first wave of designs is church slogans. “We thought consumers would be able to relate to popular church slogans that our Pastors say frequently,” says Patrick. Sayings like “The Devil is a Lie!” and “Amen Lights & Walls,” have sold well. Patrick reiterates, “So the first designs are inspired by the church, but we’re also designing practical motivational messages anyone can apply to keep them on the right PATH.”

The clothes are available online by visiting www.store.pathmagazine.com, or you can call in and place orders over the phone. The shirts will also be appearing in select stores across the country. Retail vendors looking to carry the line are welcome to contact Path Wear for special merchant discounts. Churches looking to sell Path Wear in their church bookstore or also encouraged.

Norman Hutchins, is back with a new CD.  Norman Hutchin’s has penned such hits as “A move of God is on Its Way” and “God’s Got a Blessing With Your Name on It.”   This is the seventh solo album for the Stellar Award and Dove award nominee.

From Norman Hutchins website:

Having survived a bout with blindness and other notable setbacks in recent memory, Hutchins faith is imaginably stronger than ever on “If You Didn‘t Know, Now You Know,” his seventh solo album. The process therein, was unsurprisingly born from circumstance, but not all his own.

Overall, the theme of “trusting God” rings true, as the results of “If You Didn‘t Know, Now You Know,” were derived from a two to three month period where Hutchins led praise and worship in the church.

“While we were singing God dropped these lyrics in the atmosphere and I would look at the keyboard player and tell him to follow me.” Encouraged by where the process would take him, Hutchins continued the course and ultimately manufactured what will easily be deemed one of his most brilliant works to date.

Earnest Pugh‘s new CD is out today, and if it’s anything like his first one we are in for a treat.  Recently, Ms. Kala set down with Pugh as he talks about coming to know God for himself following a near-death swimming incident at 14 years old.

Watch the interview below, and look for Earnest Pugh’s new CD “Earnestly Yours” in stores and online now.
