Casting Crowns' Mark Hall Releases Fourth Book "Thrive - Digging Deep, Reaching Out" to Accompany New Album

As if Casting Crowns hadn't accomplished enough in their illustrious CCM career, the band is back with their seventh studio record THRIVE. As a companion piece to the new record (which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard top 200 Chart), lead vocalist of the seven-member group Mark Hall recently released his newest book, "Thrive - Digging Deep, Reaching Out." Hitting shelves February 11, Hall's new fourth book discusses how we are meant for more than just surviving life. Instead we are intended to thrive.

The book's release comes in midst of a very busy and exciting 2014 for the band. Back in January the band kicked off their "Month of Giving" which was an opportunity for them to give back to fans all over the country. Casting Crowns also embarked on a small, multiple city tour performing acoustic sets and visiting friends such as The Harvest Show, Live at Studio B, Moody Radio, Rick & Bubba, and more.

The band debuted "Thrive" for the first time on national television, on the popular morning show FOX & Friends.

Critics cannot stop praising Hall's signature style of weaving stories with powerful tools for application in "Thrive - Digging Deep, Reaching Out."

"Consider Mark Hall's book a dependable resource to inspire a well-rooted, far-reaching growth spurt among students."

- Crosswalk.com

"The book gives stories and testimonies from the young people Hall pastors, and gives examples of how the principles set out in the book can be applied to real life situations...It's an important message, and one that is delivered with grace and humility."

- Christian Today

"Casting Crowns lead singer Mark Hall is delivering up plenty for your mind to reflect on...you'll hear words of wisdom from Hall's experience and a depth of theological encouragement for your soul."

Casting Crowns will launch their national Thrive tour February 20 alongside Laura Story and for KING & COUNTRY. For more info check out:
