"One might think that 20 years would wear a person down, exhaust their creativity, and diminish their resolve. Not so. In Live in this Moment, Steven Curtis Chapman is as infectiously energetic, artistically creative, and steady as ever. In fact, Live in this Moment breaks new ground and demonstrates the continuing cutting-edge development of a phenomenal artist who has chosen not to focus on himself but on the God who gives such gifts. You just can't put SCC in a box and you can't put in the past, he simply can't be denied.
It's the same SCC but different-new songs, new sounds, and fresh energy. I believe there to be more potential hits on this album than anything we've seen before from SCC. Miracle of the Moment, Cinderella, Yours, Something Crazy, Children of God, You are Being Loved, With One Voice are all potential chart-toppers. Cinderella is a great song and a potential cross-over hit though I don't think SCC cares whether it crosses over or not. It's a song for fathers and daughters and how the years pass so quickly. Definition of Me is certainly a new sound and a thoughtful song based on the selfless concept that my worth is bound up in God. Something Crazy and You Are Being Loved are as rockin' as ever and perhaps more so. Influence of the modern praise and worship music is manifest with the stirring anthems of Yours, Children of God, and With One Voice, all of which could easily be added to the repertoire of Passion Conferences.
More Doves to come? Song of the Year? Songwriter of the Year? Album of the Year? Which will it be? You know it will happen! This album is going to go Gold. I know I can easily be accused of going over the top here, and of using the superlative a little much, but remember we are talking about an artist who already has 51 Dove Awards and 5 Grammies. Just watch and see.
This is the 21st SCC Album and it just keeps getting better. If you've never tried SCC before this is as good of a place as any. And if you've never seen SCC on tour it's a must see.

"Please keep Steven Curtis Chapman and his family in your prayers. The song Cinderella is about his youngest daughter who went to be with Jesus yesterday. Cinderella, along with Miracle of the Moment, is one of my favorite songs on the CD. Again, please keep the family in your prayers."
I love it!

"I may be a bit biased because Steven Curtis Chapman is my most favorite artist ever, but this album tops the charts in my book!"

"Chapman's new CD is awesome. I purchased it because my granddaughter's favorite song right now is "Cinderella". It fits her stage of life perfectly. Great album!"
