The Rockers Cry Out: Introducing Scripture-Based Dance Praise(TM) Expansion Pack Volume 4: God Rocks!(R) BibleToons(TM)

New Collection of 35 Award-Winning Songs Teach Bible Verses While Groovin' to Hit PC Dance Game; All Songs Performed by the God Rocks! Band

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- CBA ADVANCE 2007 -- Digital Praise Inc., a leader in Christian themed, family-friendly entertainment software, today announced a fourth new expansion pack for its immensely-popular Dance Praise(TM) PC dance arcade game that transforms the Word for a new generation of high-energy, active Christians -- kids and adults alike. Dance Praise Expansion Pack, Volume 4: God Rocks!(R) BibleToons(TM) sets many of the Bible's best-loved verses to both music and dance, helping players to learn scripture and have great fun with family and friends, all at the same time.

God Rocks! is a Christian entertainment phenomenon, encompassing CDs, DVDs, a television series, broadcast TV specials and even a live tour. Created and produced by Chelsea Road Productions, a Burlington, Ontario-based family entertainment company, God Rocks! features a four-member rock band that teaches kids aged 4-12 important lessons from the Bible in a fun way. Expansion Pack, Volume 4 puts selected songs from the God Rocks! CD collections into Dance Praise interactive dance environment, ready for hours of high-steppin' excitement. (Dance Praise expansion packs do not include the Dance Praise game, which is sold separately.)

"Dance Praise Expansion Pack, Volume 4: God Rocks! BibleToons will enchant kids and adults alike with songs that teach, inspire and entertain," said Tom Bean, President and CEO of Digital Praise Inc. "While there has been strong demand among Dance Praise fans for more young children's music, we think this pack will be prized by anyone who loves scripture and wishes to learn it on a new level, or teach it to others. Press into the music and keep up with the beat whether you are at church with the youth group, at home with friends, or just working out. Expansion Pack, Volume 4 is a Dance Praise addition you won't want to pass up."

In 2006, Dance Praise continued its sweep of the educational and Christian entertainment award circuit. The game for both Windows and Macintosh computers, in which players dance to an onscreen display of scrolling arrows, has won top awards from Family Choice, Christianity Today, iParenting Media, Parents' Choice, and Children's Technology Review. Dance Praise won the People's Choice award at the 2006 Christian Game Developer's Conference, as well as a 2006 Parent To Parent(TM) Adding Wisdom Award(TM). Dance Praise Expansion Pack, Volume 2: Hip-Hop/Rap was also included in the iParenting Media Awards 2006 Outstanding Product listing.

The collection of 35 songs in Expansion Pack, Volume 4: God Rocks! BibleToons features scripture lyrics from the New International Version(R) of the Bible, helping kids to sing, learn and step to the Word. The selected songs come from the God Rocks! BibleToons CD series as well as the original God Rocks! albums, "Cry Out" and "Living Stones". Among the 35 hits, and the scripture-based lyrics, are:

-- "God So Loved the World" (John 3:16)
-- "The Lord is My Shepherd" (Psalm 18:2)
-- "Love the Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:5)
-- "Do Not Fear" (Isaiah 41:10)
-- "Set an Example" (1 Timothy 4:12)
-- "The Fruit of the Spirit Is" (Galatians 5:22)
-- "God Rocks! Theme Song"
-- "Church Granny Rock"
-- "Rock Steady"

"Set an Example" from God Rocks! BibleToons Volume 1 won Children's Song of the Year at the 28th Annual GMA Covenant Awards in October, 2006. Christianity Today named the God Rocks! "Living Stones" album as one of its 10 Best Children's Albums of 2006.

"Dance Praise is a perfect way to experience the joy of God Rocks! music," said Bruce Stacey, president of Chelsea Road Productions. "This is an entirely new setting that allows kids to dance alone, with their friends or with their parents, in a wholesome, healthy and totally fun way. If you enjoy God Rocks! music, you will absolutely love Dance Praise Expansion Pack 4: God Rocks! BibleToons."

Expansion Pack, Volume 4 also includes three high-energy music videos featuring the God Rocks! band in action. Songs from each Dance Praise source are also highlighted in their own unique color within the "Select Songs" feature.
