The Altar and the Door
Casting Crowns third album, The Altar and The Door, draws on this first-hand ministry experience with real people, real life struggle and the faith that overcomes. At the altar, everything makes sense, says Hall. When we re in the church and spending time with God, we know what we re supposed to do and how to live. Everything is black and white. But somewhere between the altar and the door, when we leave and go out into our lives, it all leaks out. Everything gets gray again. It s like we have these two lives, and the Christian life is the journey between the altar and door....trying to get the things you ve got in your head, into your hands, into your feet, and into your life. This album is all about that journey of realization, the struggles we encounter and the victory of seeing it as possible.
The band is excited about the next ministry chapter to unfold, and is already planning Fall and Spring legs of The Altar and The Door Tour. With the debut radio single hitting in June and widespread media coverage starting late summer through the fall, this album is set to be another phenomenal release setting records and, more importantly, impacting hearts.

Not as good as first two but still good
I liked their first two albums much better but this one is still worth buying. I think they had too much large chorus work and little kids singing at odd times but I love CC so I would still buy it again having heard it.

Amazing, hard-hitting album
Casting Crowns has released another amazing album. East to West is my favorite song on the CD, but Slow Fade, Somewhere in the Middle, The Altar and the Door, and All Because of Jesus are also really good songs. A powerful piece of work. Well...

great
I really enjoy Casting Crowns. They sing about real life circumstances and lean on the Lord while having a more modern-upbeat sound that kids and adults will enjoy (light rock'ish'). I put both of their cds right onto my ipod and have been...

Good CD
If I had it to do over again I might pick up a different CD from this one. With that said it is a good CD, once again hitting on Christian principles of living out your faith in a genuine way. I was a little disappointed though, it seemed to me...

Solid album by a great band
This album is worth the money but not worth going out of your way for. Casting Crowns is an incredible band. They are hands down the second best band in Christian music. The best band is Leeland. This of course is opinion. There are some good...

Not worth the money
I was really looking forward to getting this cd, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. There are a couple great songs on it, but most lyrics lack substance while seeming to try to tell you that they are imparting wisdom. Definitely...

Best yet
I love Casting Crowns. I have every CD. This one is wonderful, too. I love the harmonies, and the strong lead vocals. I play this CD everyday and sing along! It is uplifting.
