New Steven Curtis Chapman album to be released in October

CCM STAR Steven Curtis Chapman, who has sold over 10 million records in his career, returns with his first new album in three years on 23rd October. 'This Moment' was co-produced by Steven Curtis Chapman and Matt Bronleewe (Toby Mac, Chris Tomlin) and was tracked in Los Angeles with a studio band whose combined credits include Sting, Paul McCartney and Sheryl Crow. One song on the album is "One Heartbeat" on the theme of parenthood. Recounted Chapman, "After our first trip to China, my wife and I knew our lives were changing-our eyes and hearts were opening to how big God really is, and we have wanted to experience more of that." The Chapmans spent month long stretches in 2006 and 2007 working at Chinese orphanages. "We've really wondered whether or not we should just go to China and stay there. But I don't think so. I believe God is saying, 'I want you to go, get your heart broken, your eyes opened, and then take this story back to the Church in America and around the world.'"
