[Interview] Caleb Crino Talks God, Music And Life
Are you a fan of faith films? If so, you have already been introduced to gifted singer songwriter Caleb Crino. His music was featured in the 2020 drama “Treasure Lies”, and now you can learn more about the charming voice on the soundtrack.
Discover Caleb’s music mission through his exclusive interview with BTCelebs.
BTSCelebs: Who is Caleb Crino?
Caleb Crino: Sometimes, I don’t even know! Haha. I’m just an imperfect man serving a perfect God trying to make the best with the time and gifts that He’s given me.
What piqued your interest in music?
Music just feels like home to me. I’ve been performing since I was six years old, when my mom signed me up for a children’s choir, and I just fell in love with it. Everything that I’ve learned about music just inspires me to learn more and be better at what I do!
Tell us about your songwriting process. To date, what has been the most difficult song to complete?
You know, my process has recently undergone a pretty significant change. Until four months ago, every time I would write I would work with other songwriters and collaborate, but I recently found that there is a level of depth and honestly that I can reach when it’s just me writing by myself. So most of the songs I’ve been writing lately, and the ones that will be on my upcoming record, were written by myself! Not sure if I can nail down the hardest song to finish, I’ve written so many of them and each has their own level of difficulty in one way or another.
How have you used this current quarantine in a positive way?
I’ve really used this time to realign both my priorities and my relationship with God. Having a lot more downtime to spend with Him in prayer, worship and His word has really made a difference. And having my routines be thrown so far out of whack has shown me what I really value in my daily life, and it’s given me the opportunity to make some adjustments.
If your music could be included on the soundtrack of any faith film, which one would you choose and why?
I actually just had a song of mine used in a faith film called “Treasure Lies”, it was really cool to see that happen for the first time!
What message do you hope non-believers take away from your music?
I really want my music to be an expression of what God has done in me personally. My hope is that someone who doesn’t have faith in Jesus Christ would be able to hear my songs, see what God has done in my life, and be curious if He can do the same for them. Because He can and will!

Stacey Dash Inspires With Positive Quarantine Messages
While we wait for the world to completely return to normal, celebrities are keeping fans entertained with short videos and photos on social media. Some are even becoming a poster child for the now famous “stay at home” phrase. Outspoken actress and author Stacey Dash recently used her online platform to encourage others. Despite the global social pause, she posted the following upbeat messages:
Book Review: T.I. Lowe’s “Sea Glass Castle”
The gripping conclusion of The Carolina Coast series titled “Sea Glass Castle“ gives a complete illustration of Sophia Prescott’s past, present and future. We finally learn all about the cheating and abuse she suffered during her famous marriage to football star Ty Prescott, which ended in a messy divorce. In the midst of Sophia’s trials, the single mom was miraculously given a second chance at love through Dr. Wes Sawyer and the help of her son Collin.
Like Sophia, readers are able to experience a burst of happiness and healing through her unexpected encounters with Wes in the small yet lovable town of Sunset Cove. It’s surprising that the young doctor’s old emotional wounds are in dire need of healing as well. Wes and Sophia’s love story is probably the best out of the entire Carolina Coast series. We meet two well rounded characters that quickly become three-dimensional as you flip the pages. Our favorite nosy Knitting Club earned more of a prominent role in this installment, while the Sand Queens (Opal and Josie) and their husbands are there to offer Sophia wise counsel and moral support. It’s safe to say the men became Sophia’s unofficial bodyguards at crucial times.
T.I. Lowe outdid herself with “Sea Glass Castle”! This book is worth the wait and provides a perfect ending to the Sand Queens trilogy. I highly recommend this novel to people of all ages.
“Sea Glass Castle” is scheduled to be released on August 4th, 2020.

Book Review: Carla Laureano’s “Under Scottish Stars”
The MacDonald Family Trilogy concludes with “Under Scottish Stars”. In this novel, author Laureano introduces readers to broken widow Serena Macdonald. We quickly discover that she’s learning to adapt to life as a single mom of two. When her daughter Em unexpectedly gets expelled from school and Serena’s brother gives her a business offer that she can’t refuse, the 39-year-old woman decides it’s time for a change of scenery for her small family.
When they return to her hometown of Skye, a world of possibilities awaits them! A new school, the growing family business, loving Aunt Muriel and a new romance (for Serena) with fellow single parent Malcolm Blake are just some of the new things the family will encounter in the quaint town. As the emotional romance progresses between the main leads, Serena Macdonald’s dark secrets are exposed, as well as, Malcolm and his niece Kylee’s unique’s backstory. Serena’s brothers, Jamie and Ian, and their families are also mentioned and their stories were described in the previous novels “Five Days in Skye” and “London Tides”.
“Under Scottish Stars” delivers a hefty dose of romance with some family and faith mixed in. The ending teaches readers a valuable life lesson in patience. Anyone who is 18 and over will find it easier to connect to the romance aspect of the novel.
Carla Laureano‘s “Under Scottish Stars” is scheduled to be released July 2020.
