Casting Crowns' Mark Hall explores true satisfaction

Casting Crowns frontman Mark Hall is to release a new book this autumn pointing people to the only answer for all of life's longings.

"The Well: Why Are So Many Still Thirsty" uses the powerful story of Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well to help readers understand why life seems so unsatisfying.

It's an issue Hall has a great deal of experience in addressing, having ministered to students for the past 18 years at Eagle's Landing Baptist Church outside Atlanta.

While it's easy to confuse things like success, talent, control and favour with the well that will truly sustain us, Hall lets readers know that these are really just holes that can keep us from relying on Jesus and the abundant, refreshing life He offers .

The foreward has been written by Candace Cameron Bure, who starred in TV show "Growing Pains" and is the sister of "Fireproof" actor Kirk Cameron.

“I’m confident you will see yourself many times over in this book,” she said.

“As I pray through this latest challenge before me, I’m thankful that the Lord used His Word and Mark Hall’s keen insights to give me this crucial reminder.”

It's also been endorsed by veteran worship artist Steven Curtis Chapman.

"I love Mark Hall's heart," he said.

"When he writes, whether it's a song or a book, it's always from the heart of a gifted teacher and an earnest friend.

"This book is another rich example of that, and I've been ministered to deeply as I've read it.”

The Well ties into the release of Casting Crowns’ newest album releasing this autumn, Come To The Well and a 40-city tour under the same name.
