Sharon,

The artist you want--his name is spelled Carmann. C, Ay, R, M, Ay, N, N.

I hope you find either the books or the music you want. Carmann's 
pretty popular among CCM circles, so you should be able to find it. 
There's a store called Christian Book Distributors which sells CCM 
CD's and DVD's.


Love,

Reeva Parry.
