Y’all know that I love to give away some music.
And when I got a copy of Casting Crowns‘ latest CD earlier this summer, I knew right away that I’d love to share it with the internets.
Because I think that many of us know that Casting Crowns can offer up some Christian Power Ballad Gold like nobody’s business.
“Voice of Truth,” anyone?
How about “Praise You In The Storm”?
COME ON, NOW.
And seriously, if you enjoyed Casting Crowns’ previous CD’s, you’re going to love this one, too. It’s heartfelt and worshipful and inspirational - everything good.
So if you’d like to win one of the five copies I’m giving away, here’s what you do (by the way, I totally got this idea from Shannon - just to give credit where credit is due, you know):
2. Listen to the clips of the songs.
3. Come back here and leave a comment that tells me which song is your favorite. And I realize all you can hear is a 30-second clip of each, but still. It’ll be fun.
I’ll close comments Tuesday morning around 9:00 central and then use a random number generator to determine who wins.
Happy Friday, everybody!
(and p.s. - I’ll get our new podcast up sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. Provided that the computer and the Evil Microphone don’t conspire against me.)
Shelley says:
Oh my goodness, I’ve never been #1 before! Wow! Anyway, Sounds like some good new music for the ipod, which, by the way, I just finished listening to your pod cast on. FUNNY STUFF! I really enjoyed it, and can’t wait for the next one. I love both your accents, ’cause ya know, here in missouri, we don’t have any!

Oh, I forgot, I couldn’t get the Casting Crowns page to come up. I’ll try again later!

Somewhere in the Middle
Yup, cause that’s where I end up a lot of times. All gung ho about goin’ out there and divin’ in the deep end while I’m standing in the 6 inches of water I habitate on a daily basis.

I could not get the page to open, but it is Casting Crowns which means that every song will be my favorite, and there will be bargaining going on to see if it will be in the car so Mr. Pear can listen to it on the way to work or in the house so we can listen to it during the day!
We LOVE them!

connorcolesmom says:
Oh I love Casting Crowns. It has been one of my favorite bands for some time now. I have to tell this funny story before I give you my vote.
My hubby is a few years older than me (ok several years older) and he had his 20 yr high school reunion this summer. He tells me a few weeks before we head out of town to attend the reunion that “oh yeah Mark Hall from Casting Crowns graduated with me and will be at the reunion!” - WHAT - SERIOUSLY!!
It was so fun we got to spend the time Friday and some of Sat with Mark and his wonderful wife Melanie. They are such a humble, fun, and dedicated couple. I learned so much from my conversations with them.
Ok so back to the song I like the best …
It is “Does anybody see her” - I love it because I relate so much to it. I was the girl searching and making really stupid choices. Nothing made me full until I found my Savior and now He completes me. That is my vote!
God bless,
Kim

I love Casting Crowns! We were able to meet them backstage at their concert in N’ville last year and they are soooo nice and down to earth! I like East to West a lot and I Know You’re There is great, too!
Great giveaway!! Also, I couldn’t get your link to work but I used the one above fr/ Steph at Adventures in Babywearing.
August 31st, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Grace says:
Oh, Casting Crowns has such poignant lyrics don’t they? Awesome stuff in every album they do. My favorite in this new album is a toss up between Slow Fade, Somewhere in the Middle and I Know You’re There. But the Gracie goes to (that’s kind of like my own version of a Grammy, dontcha know) Somewhere In The Middle - cause that’s where I feel like I’m stuck most of the time.
August 31st, 2007 at 12:17 pm
Melene says:
Every Casting Crowns CD has songs that affect me. The Voice of Truth is a favorite myself and my daughters. It’s also been my rington on my cell phone.
On the new CD, I really like I Know You’re There.
August 31st, 2007 at 12:25 pm

Jenni says:
“What this World Needs” caught me right off….
p.s. the link problem is an extra http// at the beginning….
downloaded the first podcast from itunes and will be listening while I drive today….can’t wait!
August 31st, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Karen says:
Ah Jenni, you beat me to the solution. It’s a common error and an easy one to fix, isn’t it?
Picking a favorite is hard…. I’m going to go with “Prayer for a Friend.” I love the harmonies.
August 31st, 2007 at 12:45 pm
singinole says:
East to West would probably be my favorite song. I’ve heard it on the radio once and LOVE it! oh, please sign me up! I’d love to have a copy of this CD!

East to West has been my favorite since I heard it a couple of weeks ago. Love its message (and I felt that God had released it when he did just for me.)

peach says:
‘All Because of Jesus” is my absolute favorite already, even after just 30 seconds. I would just love to win this CD. My 11 year old dearly loves them, especially the lead guitarist, Hector. Could I be this lucky!
August 31st, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Bethany says:
I have not gotten this CD yet but my husband and I are big fans!
It is hard to choose one favorite. As I was listening to the clips though I think I’ll pick Somewhere in the Middle today.
I enjoyed looking at the lyrics.
Thanks!
August 31st, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Katrina says:
Ooooh, I love Casting Crowns! I have to agree with Steph from Adventures in Babywearing and say my favorite is “The Word is Alive”. What an amazing gift that Word is!

August 31st, 2007 at 1:08 pm
Amy Starr says:
As always, all the songs on the CD are so exciting and passionate. But only one, “Prayer for a Friend” gave me goosebumps, as I can see myself praying and thinking of many friends while listening to that!
Thanks!
August 31st, 2007 at 1:08 pm
Holly Smith says:
Wow! What a great give-away!! I think that “crownlaiddown” should win “Casting Crowns”, don’t you? Either way, I love all that they do…”East to West” is my favorite and speaks my heart.

#10 All Because of Jesus is one of my favorites on that list. The title sums it up as well as the song. It’s because of HIM!

Melody Peacock says:
My 11-year-old daughter and I love to sing all the Casting Crown songs and so far she has claimed East to West as her new favorite song.
I love to read your blog everyday. Somedays you are just want I need to hear.
August 31st, 2007 at 2:08 pm
Glenda says:
I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of months now (found my way here from the LPM blog somehow) and you never fail to crack me up. And although I have thought about it LOTS, I have yet to post.
Until now, that is.
Because I LOVE Casting Crowns, just heard East to West on the radio the day before yesterday, and sadly realized I have no money to get the new CD until next month.
But God does provide, even for our little unspoken desires. God is good.
All the time!
Thanks for the drawing. And the blog. You really need to call that lady you met in the coffee shop that is somehow involved in publishing…the details are foggy, but anyway, what ever happened with that???
Hugs, Glenda

Laura Lee says:
Hi BooMama! Love your blog. I died laughing the first post I read….about the Mickey D’s sausage patty. Outrageous! Casting Crowns is a favorite here at our house… I’m voting for “All Because of Jesus” because that is what is all about, right??
August 31st, 2007 at 5:24 pm
annie says:
I love ‘em all, but Prayer for a Friend spoke to me this day, just as the paraplegic’s friends’ faith was what made him healed. Standing in the gap. All because of Jesus, A

Nancy says:
Wow, that’s hard! I don’t think there was one that I didn’t like. If I had to pick one right now (which I do - duh!) I’d say the title track “The Altar and the Door.” But really, I’d love to hear them all in their entirety (is that how you spell that?!? can’t say I’ve ever spelled that word out. ever.)Back to the point….pick me! please :-)

I just recently heard of this group - they are awesome!
August 31st, 2007 at 8:29 pm
Christy says:
The Word is Alive is my favorite of the clips…what beautiful images fill my soul with the lyrics of that song!
Prayer for A Friend is also amazing…so many times we try to fix things when all we need to do is give them over to Him…
What a cool contest BooMama!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend :o)

I’m really liking the melodies of “Slow Fade” and “The Word is Alive.” I like the words in “East to West.” There’s a video for this one on YouTube, I believe. It may have been GodTube, though. And I like the simpleness of “Prayer for a Friend.”
Hugs,

I hope that if you pick my number you’ll have mercy on the fact that my computer is older than dirt and I can’t listen to anything, even 30 second clips (or podcasts by two of my favorite bloggers.) Boo hoo. No, BooMama! Sorry, couldn’t reisit!

Chelsea says:
Do you mean the new songs or the old ones?
Cause for the new songs I don’t know but for the older ones my favorites are
Praise you in this Storm: it rains alot here so it reminds to praise him and I just love the tune and words.
American Dream: This one is sad. Reminds me to focus on God, not work.
Voice of Truth: When I was in a Bible study, we listened to this song alot.
Pick me! lol

Rachel says:
My favorite from Casting Crowns is Praise you in this Storm, because it reminds me to look to Him and praise Him even though I’m in the middle of “bad” circumstances or situations.

My favorite is hands down “Somewhere in the Middle”. And I love, love, love that Mark backs up all his songs with scripture and tells the background info about each one. I love knowing how these songs came to be.

I’ve become acquainted with this band because of some good friends of ours. Based on the thirty second snippets, I think my favorite song would be “The Word is Alive.”

All of Casting Crowns is my favorite. They are AWESOME in concert!! So far, I love EAST TO WEST. I just love the line “from one nail scarred hand to the other”
It gets me everytime I hear it.

Deborah Dominy says:
Love all of them but “Prayer For A Friend” hooked me. I love the sound of just the acoustical guitar with singing. And of course it made me think of Especially Heather. Just the short snippet of the song is too beautiful for words. I love these guys!

Etta says:
I’m supposed to choose? I was really taken by the first song immediately, ‘What This World Needs’, but of course I already love ‘East to West.’ But I think I’m really going to like ‘I Know You’re There’ and ‘Prayer for a Friend’ when I win this fabulous CD. Thanks BooMama!

East to West!
And you know, someone pointed out to me that you can measure from the northern point of the earth to the southern point, but you can go east forever and ever or you could go west forever and ever — that’s how far God has separated our sins from us. Praise God!
September 2nd, 2007 at 5:41 pm
Shelly says:
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:11-12
Casting Crowns did a great job with the lyrics and music. Really spoke to me…

I was going to say East to West, b/c I hear it all the time on air1.com and I like it a lot, but then I heard the clip for The Word is Alive, and I’d REALLY like to hear the rest of that song!

I’ve been reading your blog since Beth Moore mentioned you on hers. You absolutely crack me up. Thanks for being sweet and transparent and hysterical.
I loooove Casting Crowns. Their hometown is just about an hour south of me, so we’ve been listening to the Casting Crowns for quite awhile now. I loved East to West and The Word Is Alive. I believe it is a tie.

East to West is my favorite. I just bought the cd myself Saturday, so you don’t have to enter me in the drawing (although I’d probably win since I don’t need it, huh?), but just wanted you to know that’s what I listened to on my way in this morning. The first song on the cd is pretty kicking, too. I’m going to see them in concert October 18th. It’s my second time and boy, do they put on a worship time! Love them!
