SPECIAL NEWS!! I recently returned from visiting Korea in January for the SUNMIN MUSIC 2008 CHURCH MUSIC EXPLOSION. South Korea is an amazing country and my experience with SUNMIN MUSIC was incredible. I highly recommend this fine company, under the direction of Mr. Jang W. Choi, to anyone in Korea or Koreans abroad who have church music needs!

In 1991 "Without Love... We Have Nothing" was released by CPP/Belwin as a choral anthem. It was written by James Michael Stevens and Joseph M. Martin. Although it was officially out of print, it has just been re-released by Shawnee Press and is available for purchase. However, since its initial release, it has become a well known song in Korea as can be noted by the numerous links to Korean web-sites below. There are now over 180 different CDs that contain our song plus hundreds of other uses. We are very excited about its popularity and have provided the following links to allow those who are using Without Love to obtain the proper permission. BTW, "Without Love" was re-released by Shawnee Press in November 2005 with two brand new orchestrations by Brant Adams and is available from any dealer and on this web-site under Choral Works.
