I just finished listening to the album. Wow. That's really all I can say.
And tell Steven "thank you". I'm just entering the hardest month for me in my own journey of grief as the anniversary of my father's death approaches on the 19th. I have never been able to make it through a November without being bruised and battered and thrown into a place beyond functionality. Because of this album, I feel like I have hope this November. It came just at the time when things began to get really hard (kicking off the month with All Saint's day isn't a great way to go for me.) and the encouragement that this album has brought to me is beyond words. God's timing is perfect.

You forgot:

6pmAK ;o)

I'll am hoping to join in. It's dinner time here so I may be listening/watching in the kitchen. :O)

[shannon blake]

hey Jim, already logged in to the cast. My question is one that no one else will care about but Iwas wondering if he still has the picture I drew of him back when I was in high school in 1993. I framed it n gave it to him at an appearance @ Kmart (haha). My sn on the live chat is stvnfn69. Hope he can answer it & that I dont miss the answer lol.

This is unquestionably Steven's most personal CD, heartfelt, touching,( cried listening to "See") painful, yet hopeful - (Beauty Will Rise)( Spring is Coming). You aren't likely to find any single on K-Love,- still don't understand why they won't play "Heaven is the Face" but this is a MUST HAVE CD for your CD collection

[Cindy Koester,MN]

Hey Jim :)
Prayers are with you....you'll do a beautiful job!
Have no fear!
Trying to get my facebook going so I can listen.
(Haven't used it really since I signed up...yikes!)

You just be yourself & all will be well!
Your caring heart will make it great!
Hugs,
CindyK & family

Hoping to hear SCC here on the west coast. Kids showered, cleaning up and getting ready to eat! (oatmeal for dinner...nice. but.. easy and healthy!.)
looking forward to getting the new album!! My husband said something about a Christmas present of that sort.
Sorry, can't wait till Christmas!!

God Bless you, you all continue to be in our my prayers, Thanks, Jim, you're awesome as always!!!

[Charlotte Morgan Jones]

Can't wait... I'm already logged in... I posted my question for Steven on your Facebook page... my nickname on the livestream is Charlotte_in_Pgh

[Nancy from California]

So many questions! I'll give you a few we'll see if any get used; I'm sure the time will fly! Will there be any vidoes with this album? I see he will be doing Larry King's heros show; have they remained in contact and will there be another interview any time soon? I know most of the album is dealing with the grief of the loss of Maria, but I wonder about the stress and feelings of parenting the youngest three with what they went through/saw that day--any comments? With Caleb seeming such a spiritually mature young man why did he wait to be baptized until the day before his wedding? How has the family done today emtionally with all of the focus on the album and stirring so many feelings?
I understand if he chooses not to answer any of them , but looking forward to whatever he chooses to share twenty minutes from now.
God Bless,
Nancy (thankfulndw)

Jim, anything you can do about the streaming problem on the webcast?

[Vanessa Schaecher (from Nebraska)]

This is SO, so, SO great! THANK YOU for making this happen. Praying for you both as this special event continues on. Really glad that you're hosting, Jim! :o)

By the way...glad to hear that Steven will tour this album. I would love a kind of acoustic evening like Steven seemed to be describing. I've longed for a tour like that with him for years! :o)

[Drew Barnette]

who will tour with steven curtis chapman and whne does the tour start?

[Bethany]

Thanks for doing this chat tonight, Jim! Any chance it'll be posted on YouTube afterward since the livestream thing doesn't seem to be working so well? If not, that's okay. I thought I'd at least ask. : ) I've prayed and prayed and prayed for all of you in the past year and a half.

[Lisa Johannes]

Nice webcast!! And yes, next week would be great!! How fast did that hour go?? Thanks for sharing the songs, your heart, your journey. The prayers will continue. See you in Disney!!

[Di Ryan]

That was great Jim.......... thank you guys!

Still thinking of you....... still praying for all the Chapman's and still excited to SEE how God is going to use "ashes" to make something beyond our dreams.

You rock Jim Houser, Steve and MB!!
Hope to see you all in MA soon!

[Cindi M.]

Thanks Jim, that was fun! I'll bet ya'll are gonna go and eat now.......am I right?

[Lisa..from So. Cal]

Thanks Jim, that was great.
My 8 year old daughter wanted to post a question but we were unable to, she had asked" How did it feel to go back on stage after Maria died?"

We love all of you and continually praying for you.

[Sharon - ON Canada]

Loved the live chat! Thanks Steven! Thanks Jim! Got my copy of Beauty Will Rise this afternoon - and a second one for a friend. Praying always. Knowing God is in control of it all! Sending our love from Canada.

I second (or maybe third or higher) putting the live chat on YouTube. General Colin Powell came to the University of Delaware tonight to speak, which was awesome. But, sadly, I didn't get home in time to see Steven's live chat.

[Karen B.]

Sorry I missed it! Our power went out here in N. Africa, so no internet last night. Boohoo. But I did listen to the entire album 4 times and am filled with thanksgiving and awe at the Lord's grace to Steven and family, and so filled with hope in God's promises. WOW. What an incredibly deep and honest blend of pain and faith, sorrow and hope. Beauty Will Rise has ministered to me deeply and I plan to share it with many!

[Karen B.]

Although I missed the livestream, I have really enjoyed reading a long interview with SCC that's online at Christianity Today. It definitely gave me a lot of insight into the album and how the Lord has met Steven in the midst of such deep grief and darkness. MUST READING!

Hi Jim,
I went to our WalMart today (11/4) in Maplewood, MO and was devastated to learn that the new CD did not come in their music shipment yesterday! The gentleman working in the music dept. said he did not know why they didn't get it. I hope it comes soon!

Thought you might need to know this--Thanks for all you do! God Bless You! --Ann

Thanks so much to Steven and Jim for this evening and for sharing your walk through the pain of the last year and a half. Yes, beauty will rise.
