Newsboys return with second worship album.

THE NEW album by the Nashville-based pop rockers the Newsboys is released this month. 'Devotion' is the second worship album by the group. Lead singer Peter Furler spoke at a recent press conference about a new dimension to the band's ministry, "We are seeing lives change, we really are. We are seeing disciples being made. Not just people coming down the front to give their lives to Jesus and then we never see them again. We are seeing great lasting fruit." He added, "We divide things, we think there is a Christian music industry and a secular one. I think that's crap. I think it's just people, and they are looking for something and we've got it. If God has touched our lives, we can touch others." 'Devotion' on Sparrow Records is released through EMI Christian Music Group. CR
