They've set records at radio and retail. They've won numerous awards including the 2005 GMA Music Award for Group of the Year. Their debut album has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. So far, you could say that Casting Crowns has gotten their career off to a perfect start.
Mark Hall, lead singer and founder of the group, would agree, but for an entirely different set of reasons. "I wish I could pull together a big book of all of the emails and letters we have received. We have people contacting us from around the world telling us story after story of how this record has impacted their lives."comments Mark. "I still cannot believe what God is doing through this ministry."
Ministry is what defines Casting Crowns. All of the members are still active in local church ministry in spite of the over 200 concert appearances they have made over the last 2 years. Mark Hall, in fact, is still employed as the youth pastor at his home church, although he has had to hire some additional help due to his hectic schedule
"It is the ministry that creates the songs, not the other way around,"states Hall. And the same is true for Lifesong, the much-anticipated sophomore release from Casting Crowns. >From the anthemic title cut to the moving ballad, "Praise You In the Storm"this new album is once again an unapologetic collection of messages targeting the church.
"All of life is worship. If we're not careful we will 'praise worship' and 'worship praise.' We begin to look at worship as an experience when, in reality, our corporate worship is simply the culmination of the life we should be living all week long. The songs on this new album try to look at what a life of worship looks like. Whether we are called to 'Praise God in this Storm' or simply 'Love Them Like Jesus' we must begin to see all of life as about Him and not us. That is what we want to say to the church this time around."

Casting Crowns
August 5, 2005
Reviewer:
Brandon from Kentucky |
I was so excited to hear about Casting Crowns new CD coming out this month! If this one is as good as the first album, then I can't wait. I saw them at Spirit Song at Kings Island last month and they were awesome. I love how they unabashedly put the truth out there for everyone to hear and either to accept or reject, plain and simple. Ever since the release of their self-titled debut, the powerful music this group has produced has been helping to change lives, including mine. God bless them and their ministry.

Should be another powerful CD from Casting Crowns
July 27, 2005
Reviewer:
Shay from |
This is got to be good if it's anywhere close to how good their first CD, Casting Crowns. Casting Crowns provides different styles of Christian music and with their 4 star review from me, I believe that it will be another great CD from Casting Crowns.

Though this CD isn't released yet, I was lucky enough to hear some of the new songs at a Casting Crowns concert recently and I was not disappointed! "Lifesong" and "Praise You in the Storm" were the ones we heard and they were awesome. This looks to be a great CD!

Really Good one of the top 5 for this years CD collection
August 29, 2005
Reviewer:
Dorsey from NYC Queens |
Another slap in the face for the church of today, when we'll we wake up and start to take notice of what Mark Hall is singing about and stop listening to the lyrics of the songs and start doing what the lyrics are telling us to do. Not just what the lyrics are telling us to do but what the actual Word of God tells us to do, lets start loving them Like Jesus. Anoter Great CD by Mark Hall, Keep it up,

Let My LifeSong "Review" Sing To You!
August 29, 2005
Reviewer:
Joe from Celebration, FL |
Simply Stated, It's An Incredible CD!
The autographed cover gives the CD a personal touch and is a great way to feel personally connected to Casting Crowns.
The song LifeSong speaks to me unlike any other song in Christian Music! I know in my heart that when people hear this song, they will feel so incredibly connected and close to Christ, in a loving way, that it will lead them towards Ministry. I know I do...especially since I am packing to leave to help those in need in the New Orleans (Nawlins) area. And yes, the CD is coming with me :) Helping People Is My LifeSong!

True Christian Music
August 31, 2005
Reviewer:
Lee from North Carolina |
Some artists write about Christ. Mark Hall writes FOR Christ.
If you like Casting Crowns' first album, you'll LOVE this one. It picks up where their debut leaves off, speaking directly to the church.
From the comfort found in "Praise You In This Storm" and the encouragement of "Stained Glass Masquerade" (co-written by Nicole Nordeman) to the wake-up calls of "Does Anybody Hear Her" and "While You Were Sleeping", I challenge you to listen to this album and NOT be touched.
Very rarely do I find an album that I thoroughly enjoy from start to finish, but Lifesong is an exception. Mark Hall is a truly gifted writer and singer, and this is an album with depth!

Amazing Praise Rock
September 1, 2005
Reviewer:
Laura from California |
I loved the original cd, and was a bit hesiant to pre-order the new one, knowing about many christian bands that will go unnammed that have let us down, hitting mainstream, and ditching the 'christian' thing, because.. "Its not cool"... I love the look on my friends face after i tell them that theve been listening to christian music in the car, and they love it.. and It really is a good cd.. it shows JESUS LOVES EVERYONE.. SHOW THAT LOVE TO OTHERS.. especially the song, "love them like jesus"
GREAT CD!! BUY IT NOW
