Living with a kingdom focus is the theme of Until the Whole World Hears, the latest studio album from Grammy Award-winning group Casting Crowns. "Our main purpose, above all else, is to know Him more," says singer-songwriter Mark Hall. The title track on the album comes from an e-mail signature from Roger Glidewell, Hall's mentor in student ministry, who always closed his messages with the phrase, "Until the whole world hears." 
Mark Hall, lead singer and songwriter for the music group Casting Crowns, presents a message of responsibility in his book, Your Own Jesus (Zondervan). Hall (pictured), a veteran youth worker and speaker, and co-author Tim Luke challenge readers to resist the tendency to survive on the faith of others and encourage them instead to develop a faith of their own. “This book was generated as I asked myself—as I now ask you—some difficult questions,” Hall writes. “Is your walk with Jesus Christ characterized by personal faith, personal prayer, personal study, and personal disciplines? Or do you get by with the overflow from more mature Christians?” Hall confronts spiritual issues such as apathy and immaturity with references to Scripture and his own observations. Lyrics from some of his group's popular songs are included to introduce spiritual concepts. |
