Behind every life is a story... behind every story is a loving God.

A high school football player whose father is suddenly taken away, a saint whose blanket was once a newspaper, the biker from Daytona and the revolutionary from Romania...all with stories to tell, lives to share.

Mark Hall, lead singer and songwriter for Grammy Award-winning group, Casting Crowns, has an uncanny ability to hear God's "Voice of Truth" speaking through the lives of the people he comes into contact with as a best-selling artist and as a full-time youth pastor at Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church in McDonnough, GA.

LIFESTORIES tells of the people and events behind the songs of Casting Crowns and in the process teaches us all to be more aware of the "Voice of Truth" that is speaking softly through the people and situations God has brought into our own lives.

Features the stories behind such well-known songs as If We Are The Body, Voice of Truth, Who Am I, Lifesong, Praise You In This Storm, American Dream, Here I Go Again, Does Anybody Hear?, Love Them Like Jesus, and more.

"This is not a book about how to write hit songs or how to become a star in the world's eyes. This is a book with deep insight on Mark's commitment and willingness to let God use him to touch the hearts of millions of people." -DAVE RAMSEY

"The stories within these pages are real, thought provoking, and inspiring. They captivate the heart of Mark Hall, who writes of them with honesty and humility, and they minister to all who read them. This book is a must-have.....even for those unfamiliar with the music of Casting Crowns." - RUTH GRAHAM
