In the most transparently raw and vulnerable album of his career, Steven Curtis Chapman allows listeners a glimpse into his journey through the valley of the shadow of death. After the tragic loss of his five-year-old daughter, Maria, Steven was unsure whether he would ever be able to sing or write music again. But by the grace of God, he began to chronicle his own personal collection of psalms with the help of his pen and his guitar. Beauty Will Rise is the acoustically-driven result of his heart-wrenching healing process. Though themes of loss, grief, sorrow, despair and doubt permeate the record, the message of hope in Christ is always confirmed.

Steven Curtis Chapman learned the hard way that God can always be trusted, even in the midst of unfathomable heartbreak. His message will touch the hearts of listeners who have experienced overwhelming loss, as well as those who simply need to be reminded that God is always good.
