hris August releases his highly anticipated third studio album featuring the title track and lead single “The Maker”. It is with honest reflection that Chris penned these songs, writing from a place of pain and doubt caused

by a life-threatening head injury, and the lasting effects it had on him. Taking the time to be mentored, to heed God’s Word, and to be still, Chris experienced a level of healing he had never thought possible and his journey is reflected in his songwriting and artistry on The Maker. The album features the hit lead single “The Maker” as well as stand out tracks: “He’s Still Here” and “Drop Your Stone”.

In 2012, amongst tours, a sophomore record and endless miles on buses and planes around the world, Chris August’s entire world turned upside down in a matter of seconds. A skateboarding accident put him in the hospital with a bruised and bleeding brain. Fortunately, his brain swelling subsided and the physical healing began. And that’s when it got hard.

The pain from his injuries had to be managed. His doctors would prescribe painkillers. When that began affecting his sleep or threw his system off in any variety of ways, the doctors were at the ready with a veritable arsenal of medication.

“My pill box was the size of a laptop,” Chris recalls. “It was crazy. I’d take one thing and then need another to deflect those side-effects, and then another and another.”

He knew he didn’t want to live that way and began trying to wean himself off the medication. Not surprisingly, his body, which had become physically dependent on the regimen, rebelled.

“I was acting weird,” he recalls. “I just felt weird.”His friends noticed and they suggested he see a

counselor.“And the counselor suggested I see a psychiatrist,”

he says with a hint of laughter and a ton of sarcasm.And while he can crack a joke about the situation

today, in the moment, the reality of being a Christian

music-recording artist clashed with the diagnosis—depression.

He knew he was in a downward spiral. He just couldn’t find a way out.

“It was by far the hardest year of my life,” says Chris. “But that’s when a huge breakthrough happened.”

On tour with Big Daddy Weave at the time, he had a front-row seat to the band’s compassion for people, their fervor for spreading truth and the manifestation

of love at every single show. An eyewitness to healing and

redemption, he began to wonder if these modern-day miracles could happen in his life.

“I’m just sitting here thinking, ‘Man, I’m on all this medication. I’m having to take some medication to

even sleep at night, and half the time I don’t even think it’s working,’” he remembers. “I said, ‘I’m going to just ask the Lord to heal me of this.’”

And so he did. One year after the accident that sent him reeling, the spirited, pop-loving artist who wasn’t even raised in church asked God for a tangible, physical, irrefutable healing. His prayer was answered practically instantaneously.

“It wasn’t a gradual thing,” he clarifies. “It was an overnight thing. I woke up the next day and I didn’t take one more pill, and I haven’t since. That doesn’t mean it’s not still hard at times. It also doesn’t mean that I can just sit back, do nothing and wait for healing to take over. I had to make steps and put in the effort, while walking through it with the Healer…the Maker.”

Day-by-day, step-by-step, the journey hasn’t necessarily

been easy, nor has he arrived at some ultimate destination. Never one to assume a f lawless façade, despite his profession, Chris is transparent with his struggles. Fortunately, for the rest of us, his struggles, victories, losses and gains quite often come with a melody and a hook. “I’m figuring it out like everybody else,” he says. “I just happen to be a guy that writes songs about it.”

“IT WAS BY FAR THE HARDEST YEAR OF MY LIFE...BUT THAT’S WHEN A HUGE BREAKTHROUGH

HAPPENED.”

ALBUM FACTS

Description: Directions Home (Songs We Love, Songs You Know) from Point of Grace - one of the best-selling artists in Christian music history - is a 10-song album that features some of the group’s favorite cover songs.

“When we were discussing what kind of record we wanted to create, we really wanted to do something we hadn’t done before,”

says Point of Grace’s Shelley Breen. “In our live shows, familiar songs seem to bring the people in and we love singing them. This was a chance for us to record both older songs and newer songs that we love and that listeners know.”

Directions Home encompasses the CCM heritage that Point of Grace has played a pivotal role in creating throughout their 20+ year career, as well as the Southern/Country/Bluegrass sonic foun-dation that has undergirded the ladies’ musicianship from the be-ginning, without conforming to the restraints of any given genre.

Co-Produced by Andy Leftwich, who is also part of Ricky Skaggs’ GRAMMY® winning group Kentucky Thunder, the album features two of the music industry’s most respected and acclaimed artists, 8-time CMA and 14-time GRAMMY winner Ricky Skaggs and 18-time CMA and 20-time GRAMMY winner, Vince Gill.

Songs like “Friend of a Wounded Heart,” “The Climb,” and “Some-thing in the Water,” along with “Home,” “You’re Gonna Miss This,” “Only Love,” “A Life That’s Good,” and “Lord, I Need You” took on new life as they were infused with Point of Grace’s rich harmony and elevated by co-producer Andy Leftwich.

Written by Plumb with contributions from top CCM writers, EXHALE finds Plumb in equal parts WORSHIPING God for all that He’s done in her life and EXHALING that grace/love/hope/healing into lives around her and through her music. The “exhale" concept is based on a sermon her pastor gave that deeply impacted her, wherein he said that the church "doesn’t exist for itself - we go to church to breath in the love of God, and then it is our role to breathe out and exhale that goodness into the world around us.”

Exhale is produced by longtime Plumb collaborator Matt Bronleewe, mixed by Ainslie Grosser and mastered by Grammy Awarding winning engineer Tom Coyne (Adele - 21 / Taylor Swift - 1989 / Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour).

MYSTERIOUS WAYSMarilyn Rowe is a strong, intelligent, fiery choir director of her Baptist

church. Once a lively person, her life is now consumed by her con-tinued sense of loss and grief over the hit-and-run death of her son,

eight year old Cody. Very competent at her job, which involves several rather opinionated personalities, Marilyn is somewhat removed from life and joy, and though she has a boyfriend, Roland, she’s unable to commit fully to him. When she accidently hits a homeless man with

her car, Marilyn instinctively offers him clean clothes, food, and some money as repayment for her carelessness. However, when Marilyn

discovers that Mozart is the man who hit and killed Cody, then drove away in fear, she gives into a long-simmering murderous rage and con-

fronts Mozart with a gun. Eventually, Marilyn is able to come to terms with forgiving Mozart and moving on with her life.

• Features an all-star cast: Wendy Raquel Robinson (BET’s The Game), Gary Dourdan (Being Mary Jane), Telma Hopkins (FX’s Partners) and

Erica Campbell (from the group Mary Mary)
