NEW YORK, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Contemporary Christian music (CCM) is now the hottest genre in the entire music industry, generating millions of dollars in record sales and spawning the first ever Christian alternative-rock tour, "Festival Con Dios." As Newsweek's July 16 issue reports, Christian entertainment has emerged as a multibillion-dollar business, from movies to music, books, TV, even a fledgling Christian Wrestling Federation, where the action is less lurid and the wrestlers go by names like Apocalypse and the Saint.
