Brown Bannister produced a majority of the album along with co-producers Tommy Sims and Robbie Buchanan.

Jesus Saves is the third studio album by Christian singer -songwriter Greg Long , released on February 17, 1998 by Myrrh/Word Records. For this album, Long worked with Christopher Harris and Don Koch, in addition to the Elefante brothers John and Dino producing. The album's highlight is the third single "Mercy Said No." Written by Long, Dave Clark and producer Koch, "Mercy Said No" is about a person heading down a hopeless road of sin, only for "Mercy" to stand in the middle of the path, put its hand up, and say "No!" It has become a signature song of sorts for Long. It was a hit on both Christian AC and Inspo charts. It has since been covered by many Christian artists, most notably CeCe Winans on her 2003 release Throne Room , in which she dedicated the song to her elder late brother Ronald Winans. The song was nominated for a Dove Award for Song of the Year in 1999. Jesus Saves also had hits with the title song and "We Love You Jesus." The album is a collection of songs inspired by his missionary work. It feature's his musical mentor Russ Taff singing backing vocals on the song "Prove That By Me."

The Call is the second studio album by the Christian R&B/gospel group Anointed , released in 1995 on Myrrh/Word Records. The album is produced by brothers Cedric and Victor Caldwell, Christopher Harris and Mark Heimermann. The Call was considered a breakthrough and the most successful and best selling album from the group.

Testify to Love: The Very Best of Avalon is an official compilation album by the Christian vocal group Avalon, released on March 25, 2003 by Sparrow Records. This is Avalon's first collection containing 12 of their number one Christian AC hits from their first four albums including the title track from A Maze of Grace, a song that was number one for six weeks. Also included are three brand new tracks: "Everything to Me," "New Day" and "Pray," with the first two songs released as singles to Christian radio and both topping the Christian radio charts once again with "Everything to Me" on Inspo and "New Day" on AC, giving them a total of 20 number one singles overall when you combine AC, CHR and Inspo. Both tracks made their first appearance on the Billboard Christian charts and both made the Top 5. Avalon's cover of Céline Dion's "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day," from their holiday album Joy, is the final track on this collection as a bonus track. More personnel changes happened during the making of this collection. Former Truth vocalist Melissa Greene joined Avalon as she replaced Cherie Adams, as Greene is heard on the three new tracks. This is also the final appearance of founder Michael Passons, who unexpectedly left Avalon for a solo career at the time. Passons revealed in an interview in 2020 that he was forced out of Avalon due to his sexual orientation as a gay man and his refusal to continue attending conversion therapy. Janna Long's husband, CCM artist Greg Long, was brought in to replace Passons as the new line-up was also preparing to record their next studio album The Creed. Testify to Love debuted and peaked at number 9 on the Top Christian Albums and at number 112 on the Billboard 200 Albums charts. In 2004, Avalon collected their fourth and final Dove Award for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for "Everything to Me" at the 35th GMA Dove Awards. "Everything to Me was also nominated for Song of the Year. The new tracks were produced by Brown Bannister and Tedd T. To accompany this collection, Avalon also released a live concert video on DVD entitled Testify to Love: Avalon Live in Concert, with the group performing six of their number one hits, plus the new tracks "Everything to Me" and "New Day." Jody McBrayer performs "To Ever Live Without Me" and Janna Long performs "More" from their perspective solo albums, This is Who I Am and Janna as solo bonus tracks. Their live DVD was also released as audio CD five years later in 2008, with each of the members reading scripture passages in between performances. Greg Long reads some scripture passages but his readings were recorded in 2008. The live album was released in conjunction with a World Vision promotion that Avalon supports. Track listing 1.

God With Us: A Celebration of Christmas Carols & Classics is a compilation project album released in the fall of 1997 on Sparrow Records. The album serves as a companion to the 1996 release Emmanuel: A Musical Celebration of the Life of Christ  and is executive produced by Norman Miller. A multi-artists national tour proceeded after the release of Emmanuel and features talented CCM artists performing Christmas carols in the first half of the show before segueing into the presentation of the musical. It was in this album that the Christian vocal group Avalon recorded their first Christmas song "Angels We Have Heard On High." They first performed it on the 1995 Young Messiah Farewell Tour, but at that time, two of the eventual four band mates had not signed with Sparrow Records. When they were signed to Sparrow a year later, they participated on the Emmanuel Tour and performed this song again. Avalon would later record a new arrangement of "Angels..." on their 2000 release Joy: A Christmas Collection as part of a medley. In addition to Avalon, other artists in this project include CeCe Winans , Michael W. Smith , Sandi Patty , Larnelle Harris , Steve Green , Anointed , Twila Paris and more. There are six previously released tracks while the rest of the album consists of new holiday recordings of Christmas carols and hymns with contemporary arrangements. God With Us peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. It won a Dove Award for Special Event Album of the Year, awarded to the participating artists and Miller for producing in 1998 at the 29th GMA Dove Awards. The album is out of print and is not available for streaming. A YouTube link to listen to the album is posted below this article. Track listing 1. Joy to the World (Anointed) (Isaac Watts) -3:50 2.
