I love Casting Crowns! This short book is packed with so much truth and was written to describe how each song came about for the album, "Only Jesus" by Casting Crowns. It's hard to explain, but reading the story behind each song filled my soul with such peace and brought the presence of Jesus so near. I'll definitely read it again.

Mark Hall's music with Casting Crowns has had a profound impact on my life. The Only Jesus record is one of their best, and this book exploring the themes of this album digs deep. Every time I read this book it is a great encouragement.

This is such a great book. Mark Hall is such a wonderful storyteller. I love Casting Crowns and have seen the band many times.

This CD and book are beautiful. As believers, we are to be the "Bridge Builders" and lead people to Jesus. That's what God did with his only begotten Son. Pointing to the point. We shouldn't chase the wind to be Somebody, but rather be a Nobody for the One True King!

A must read!!

Excellent testimonies from someone who's been in the faith for decades.

I really like his perspective on being a Christian artist. As long as he's nourishing himself on God's word and drawing for the well that is the truth God has revealed to us, then God will always have something to say through him.

Very insightful. Loved his stories of how he keeps growing through Jesus, and keeps pointing to Jesus.

I’ve always enjoyed Casting Crowns’ music, but when you get to read the stories behind the songs, it really puts the icing on the cake! I picked up this book during the USA Tour last fall in Atlanta and once again, really enjoyed how Mark Hall presents the Scriptures and life experiences that brought these songs to life. Some of the stories in the chapters made me laugh and others made me think about my own walk with the Lord more deeply. At the beginning of each chapter, you’ll see the song and Scriptures that chapter will go over, so you could use the book in a Bible Study, small group, etc. This is a short, but truth packed book. Highly recommend!
