based on personal experiences. The song “Love
Song for a Savior” is based on the book Death by
Child Abuse by Ursula Sunshine. Haseltine read
the book in high school and was touched by the
hope of the main character through turmoil.
During their beginning success, the band
would receive calls to their dorm room from
record companies wanting to sign them. In a rel
atively short time, Jars of Clay had broken into
the music scene.
Their first album. Jars of Clay, was certified
double platinum, and six years later Jars of Clay
is one of the most recognized and decorated con
temporary Christian crossover bands. Some of
their awards include 15 Dove Award nominations
and the 1997 and 1998 “Group of the Year.”
Now Jars of Clay will make the trek to Col
lege Station to perform on the Texas A&M cam
pus as part of the Resurrection Week [Resweek]
2000 activities.
Resweek is a student-run organization that
hosts a week of activities throughout campus in
order to educate students about their ministry.
Bajan Nouri, a senior political science major
and the president of Resweek, said there are some
staples of the event that do not change.
“We always have a concert of some type,”
Nouri said. “We always have a drama presenta
tion of the crucifixion of Christ and we always
have a guest speaker.”
One of Resweek’s biggest concerns is that not
enough people are aware of their efforts.
“There are people on this campus that have
never heard of Resweek, even though we have
been around for five years,” Nouri said.
This year, Resweek organizers and the Aggie
Men’s Club [AMC] worked together to bring Jars
of Clay to A&M.
Rob Kingsbury, a sophomore finance major
and AMC representative, said he thinks the part
nership between AMC and Resweek can bring
only positive things fof both organizations.
“This concert is special because it unites dis-
cipleship that we emphasize with the ministry as
pect that Resweek emphasizes,” Kingsbury said.
Kingsbury said that this is not their first year to
host a concert, but this year is especially unique.
“Jars of Clay is a band that is different because

it plays all kinds of music and appeals to all dif
ferent types of people,” Kingsbury said.
Nouri said the opportunity to bring this band
to campus has will help his organization.
“We are really excited that we can bring a ban$
this popular to campus,” Nouri said.
Jars of Clay will be perfonning 7 p.n>.
Wednesday at Rudder Auditorium.
