Pizza Ranch and Living Hope CD Review and Giveaway

Here in California I had never heard of the Pizza Ranch. To me sound like a place where people can come stay and learn the art of making pizza in a ranch setting. But that is a far cry from what it really is and those of you living in a place lucky enough to have a Pizza Ranch, you know exactly what I am talking about.

First about Pizza Ranch:

Adrie Groeneweg had a dream that started in Hull, IA, in 1981, when he was just 19 years old.  It was simple.  Why does everyone have to drive out of town to get a pizza?  With just six specialty and single topping pizza recipes developed by Adrie's mother, Lorraine, Pizza Ranch was born.  Pizza Ranch's vision and mission is to glorify God by positively impacting the world and to give every guest a legendary experience.  They have 190+ locations across 13 states including Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. Might be time for me to move to one of these amazing locations or simply try one when if I travel to those parts.

Now about the Living Hope CD Project I'm excited to share with you:

On June 2, 2015, Pizza Ranch released a CD called Living Hope containing twelve songs from many of their favorite Christian artists.  Most of the songs are brand-new and written exclusively for this CD around the theme of Hope.  Artists include Colton Dixon, Francesca Batistelli, Ellie Holcomb, Sidewalk Prophets, Kevin Max, Bart Millard, Passion Band featuring Kristian Stanfill, Michael W. Smith, and Mark Schultz.

The CD will be available to purchase for $5 plus tax exclusively in Pizza Ranch restaurants or for download at pizzaranch.com/livinghope through August 31.

From Adrie Groeneweg, President & CEO of Pizza Ranch, Inc.:  "This album has a very special meaning for Pizza Ranch.  Although Pizza Ranch is not in the music business, many things have been happening, conversations have been taking place and doors have been opening for this album.  Through these events, I believe it was obvious that God has been behind this for His specific purpose and putting it on our hearts to collectively create this project.  As such, we call this our miracle album, Living Hope." 

My Review on Living Hope CD

WOW! This is such an amazing CD, and just one song would be worth the $5.00. There is literally something for everyone. My favorites on this one are Colton Dixon's Blind, Kevin Marx's Panic Button and Matthew West's Day One. All of these my family immediately gravitated to and of course with me playing them over and over, I found them signing those songs while they were working on other things. Karl Marx's Panic Button sounds like a mix of Duran Duran blended with The Fixx so 80's music lovers will definitely enjoy this one. Sidewalk Prophet's What Are You Waiting For, reminds me of Rascal Flatt's!

There is truly something for everyone on this CD and would encourage you to share the link above to purchase a copy of this CD if you happen to have a Pizza Ranch near you or download a copy so you don't have to wait. Trust me, you'll absolutely LOVE this one!! All the songs have a central theme of hope so it would be a great gift to someone who is looking for a bit of encouragement by some exceptional Christian artists!!

I received Living Hope CD compliments of the Pizza Ranch and Propeller LLC for my honest review. I did not receive any monetary compensation outside a complimentary copy of the CD for my honest review and the opinions contained here are strictly my own. If you have already won a giveaway through Propeller or FlyBy Promotions in the last 30 days, you will be ineligible to participate in this giveaway opportunity. This CD is perfect for those long car drives, which gives you something inspirational to take your mind off that long drive or while sitting in traffic. For me, it was perfect for opening my day with these songs along with my morning Bible devotions. This is well worth all 5 out of 5 stars!
