LESLIE: Yes, the initial idea was
to examine the lives of poets
and saints including St. Francis,
St. Patrick, John Newton, C.S.
Lewis and others to find a connection to them and modern followers of Jesus. We learned that
these people didn’t shy away
from suffering, they pressed
into it and into God… and out
of that flowed great ideas and
great songs that are still shaping our hearts and theology. We
wrote songs that were inspired
by these poets and saints and
our pastor, Jamie George, wrote
a companion book titled Poets
and Saints: Eternal Insight. Extravagant Love. Ordinary People. The book traces our travels
through the UK and Europe to
discover more about each poet
and saint while taking a deeper
look into their lives, their humanity. We also developed video
curriculum and a study guide for
Poets & Saints so that we could
share our experience with other
churches and small groups.
Where can both be purchased?
DAVID: The Poets & Saints album, book and study guide are
all available on Amazon and in
most Christian retail stores and
at our website. The album is also
available on iTunes and so is a
Poets & Saints “Deluxe Community Edition” that has all of the
songs plus seven curriculum videos.
What are the other music albums called?
DAVID: Our other albums are
All Sons & Daughters, All Sons
& Daughters: Live and Season
One. Our EPs are titled Brokenness Aside, The Longing and
Reason To Sing.

What is the most popular song
that the band has ever sung?
LESLIE: The song we see the
mot response from when we
travel
