Michael Ray Van

"God Faith" album was released the same time as the book "Don't Leave It To The Dogs."As stated on the synopsis of the book "Don't Leave It To Dogs," Michael Ray Van is an ordinary man with an extraordinary journey. Many for the mos part would classify his life as successful having been a star athlete in high school, televised AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) Boxer, and a secular recording artist with an independent record label. However a worldly lifestyle caused him to plummet into a world of drugs, alcohol, family dysfunction, stealing, lying, womanizing, and eventually prison. Reaching a pivotal point in his life to call on Jesus, He made a decision to live "In Him" and in His every Word.

Michael is now the CEO of SpiceRecordz a Christian record label and this is his fourth album produced. He now resides in Scottsdale, AZ with his wife of twenty year, Lori.

I thank the Lord for my lovely wife Lori Van, my son Brandon Van, my sister and brother Anna and Greg Battle, my spiritual brothers and sisters of Stonepoint Community Church, and all those of the Body of Christ.

Thanks for all those who participated in this project: Reverend Gene Herndon, Pastor Shana Herndon, Tinisha Richards, Biruta Smith.

Thanks to the mixing engineer of this album, Ken Mary, who previously was the drummer in many groups like House of Lord, Accept, and Alice Cooper; and is now a devoted Christian.
