After a year or two of living out who I thought I wanted to be in Los Angeles , I realized a mighty truth, Max shared with friends and fans on his website. God was beside me in failure, just as he was in success. I learned that his love for me held no boundaries. Max brought his family back to Nashville in early 2007, and began the creative process again—this time knowing he wanted to focus on a group of songs that share a common theme. They hold a personal meaning for Max, but are sure to strike a universal chord with listeners everywhere.

I feel like this is sort of the completion of a seven-year journey of me coming to grips with who I am as an artist, Max reveals. Ive been through some tough things, but Ive found a purpose in life, which was to really be responsible to who I am as an artist, as a person and as a believer—to take seriously the things that God has given me. In my mind, Ive already lived the fantasy of becoming a rock star, and its not that great. It doesnt have that much reward. Now Im more interested in creating something that I want to sing about in the years to come. I want to create a platform that will allow me to continue to make projects that I hope will excite people and get them interested in music, in the scriptures and maybe even get them interested in looking at God in a different way.
