The band released the second track, "God is Smiling", as an MP3 download from their official website on 1 November 2007; it had been downloaded over 10,000 times by January 2008.[2] Another free download from the album, 'We Give You Praise', was released on 1 February 2008.

[edit] Inspiration

Christian Today says that the album "questions everything, from cancer to consumerism, 'five star' dreams to slums and poverty. It is an album that calls for sacrifice, social justice and love."[3] The band has taken tours to some of the poorest countries in the world, making poverty a personal issue to band members. Guitarist Stu G. said,

Seeing children looking for scraps on the rubbish dump they call homes in Cambodia and the education and feeding projects in the slums of Mumbai India really had an impact on us. It wasn’t possible to simply proceed with business as usual. We had to ask ourselves, ‘What am I building? A kingdom of comfort? Or a kingdom of heaven?’
