The Rabbit Room

The Rabbit Room is a place for stories. It's an experiment in community. It's a webstore where you'll find music and books you may not find anywhere else. It's a place for anyone who's ever been wrecked by a song, book, film, or painting and wondered why. It's a group of authors, songwriters, pastors, and artists enthralled by the Great Story.

Slugs & Bugs

Andrew and his friend and fellow songwriter Randall Goodgame recorded eighteen children's songs on an album called Slugs & Bugs & Lullabies, which led to their writing three Silly Songs for VeggieTales and receiving a ton of requests for children's concerts. Randall answered the call and is now on the road with Slugs & Bugs LIVE.

Behold the Lamb of God

In the year 2000, Andrew and a group of friends hit the road with a batch of brand-new Christmas songs. They were pleasantly surprised when they weren't booed off the stage for not singing "Jingle Bells", and now every December they travel the land to sing the epic song cycle Andrew calls "the true tall tale of the coming of Christ".

Above These City Lights (Live)

Andrew's newest recording features nine songs recorded at a concert in Atlanta. If you've never seen Andrew and the Captains Courageous live, this is the next best thing. Features songs from COUNTING STARS and LOVE & THUNDER, as well as a cover of Rich Mullins's masterpiece, "Calling Out Your Name".

The Wingfeather Saga

Andrew's Christy Award-winning fantasy series is being hailed as the all-time greatest work of children's fantasy with toothy cows and bomnubbles. This, as far as we know, is uncontested by authors of other works of children's fantasy with toothy cows and bomnubbles. When Andrew isn't performing with a guitar, he's writing his next book or telling students at schools around the country about the Igiby children's adventures.

Surprise! A New Record


Friends,

I’m pleased to announce the release of a new album: Above These City Lights (Live). (Get it here.)

We recorded it last fall on the Counting Stars release tour, and then things got busy. Not only did we immediately hit the road for the Christmas tour, I spent all Spring writing The Monster in the Hollows. Meanwhile, the indubitable Todd Robbins (who mixed Resurrection Letters II and engineered Counting Stars—not to mention DC Talk’s Jesus Freak, but who’s counting?) took all the files from the live show and made them sound even purtier.

The project was originally intended to be an EP that highlighted a few of the songs from Counting Stars but when we heard how “High Noon”, “After the Last Tear Falls”, and especially the Rich Mullins masterpiece “Calling Out Your Name” turned out, we decided to make it more of a full-length record. At long last, the album is ready for your ears.

Congratulations to Pete Peterson and Jennifer Trafton

Last year at Hutchmoot 2010 an author named Jennifer Trafton showed up at the last minute and volunteered to help. I remember her walking in the room at the pre-moot meeting (redundant?) and introducing herself to the rest of the gang. I also remember seeing my brother Pete perk up and smile.

Now Jennifer’s dog [...]

New from N.D. Wilson: The Dragon’s Tooth

N.D. Wilson is the author of the best-selling 100 Cupboards series, Notes from the Tilt-a-whirl, an Annie Dillard-esque theological thrill ride of a book, and is one of my favorite storytellers. There’s a flavor in his books that, if you’ve read the likes of Tolkien and Lewis and Dillard and MacDonald, you’ll find familiar—-but it never feels like imitation. Wilson is developing a voice of his own, seasoned with just the right amount of beauty and truth and wonder. If you’re like me, and you’re a sucker for a good story about a kid on a perilous journey (inside and out), then get thee to the Rabbit Room and pick up The Dragon’s Tooth. Thank you, N.D. Wilson, for the stories.

I asked my friend Brian Wilhorn, an educator, book lover, and the brains behind the popular blog HelpReadersLoveReading.com, to read The Dragon’s Tooth and tell us what he thought. Check out his blog here, and follow him on Twitter here.

————————————————————————————

Fantasy novels are sneaky. At first they whisk readers away to a foreign land with an honorable family determined to rule justly or where hardworking folk live under some tyrannical ruler. Next come the fantastical creatures, great flying beasts and beings with mystical powers. Then there’s the tense build to the epic battle where good triumphs over evil.

Readers know what to expect. Or rather I know what to expect. Rather, I think I know what to expect when it comes to fantasy novels. But just as I’m prepared to escape into a world where dragons breathe fire or fairies cast spells or inexperienced youngsters unexpectedly save the kingdom, that’s when fantasy novels get sneaky. Suddenly, amidst all the fires and spells and rescues, I find characters facing the very issues I thought I was escaping.

If you're going to watch Downton Abbey with friends, you might as well do it right. http://t.co/qy1DVnES

Behold the Lamb of God: An Advent Narrative
November 3, 2011

Behold the Lamb of God Book
“Russ Ramsey tells a story you’ve heard a hundred times and still haven’t heard enough. With remarkable attention to the facts of the matter—the water dripping from John the Baptist’s beard, the heft of Abraham’s knife, the groans of a girl giving birth on a stable floor—Ramsey brings to life the story that brings us to life. Here is glory made visible, tangible, audible. Which is to say, here is the Incarnation.”—Jonathan Rogers, author of The Wilderking Trilogy, The Charlatan’s Boy, and The Terrible Speed of Mercy

We're proud to announce the upcoming release of Behold the Lamb of God: An Advent Narrative by Russ Ramsey. Russ has been an integral part of Andrew's Rabbit Room community for years, and his book is a welcome companion to the album. Following the old, old story from the first days of creation to the Incarnation of the creator himself, Russ tells the true tall tale with the sweeping granduer of a poet and the scriptural insight of a pastor. Available November 22nd from Rabbit Room Press with a foreword by Andrew Peterson. Pre-orders are now available through the Rabbit Room Store.

Andrew will join Steven Curtis Chapman for Fall Tour
