More Keith Green

I've been on vacation for the last week and a half. I'll share a little about that in a day or two but for now I wanted to get back to my continuing series of Keith Green video's.

Keith Green was a big success and had made lots of money for Sparrow records in the late 70's. When his contract was up with the label he had offers coming in from everywhere for lots of money. Just days after he had resigned with Sparrow for another few albums he felt that he had made a big mistake. He was convicted that selling his albums would be selling the gospel and he just couldn't be apart of that. God wasn't for sale!! He called the head of Sparrow and asked to be released from his contract. Amazingly enough the label agreed to tear up the contract and release him from his contractual obligation. Keith decided to offer his new album "So You Want to Back to Egypt" for free to anyone who wanted it. He accepted whatever people donated to fund his growing ministry and distributed his album directly. You couldn't buy the album in any store and because of that I never purchased the album but I still enjoyed the title song in the radio.
