The new album is inspired by a pilgrimage David and Leslie took across Europe in hopes of experiencing the lives of poets and saints, including St. Francis, St. Peter, C.S. Lewis and George McDonald. They followed in their footsteps, studied their daily lives and experienced how they communicated with God, turning their journey into 10 songs that draw inspiration from the lives of these Christ-followers. These new songs, written for the Church today, share the same eternal truths that have inspired generations of believers. The album, produced by Chad Copelin (Crowder, Gungor) and mixed by Sean Moffitt (Newsboys, Love Riot & Jordan Feliz, The River), is full of congregational worship songs and includes multiple tracks with radio potential, including “I Surrender,” Coupled with the music, All Sons & Daughters have created a small group curriculum that takes the participant through an insightful study of the lives of these poets and saints… a look at how their struggles, sorrows and joys are more relevant than ever to the modern church. Jamie George, David and Leslie’s pastor (Journey Church inFranklin, TN) also wrote a companion book, Poets & Saints: Eternal Insight, Extravagant Love, Ordinary People. The music, curriculum and book are meant to be an interactive worship experience through which we can move closer to the heart of God.
