Amy Grant, Martin Smith, Michael W. Smith Team For The Beatitudes Project

Several top CCM artists have joined for a multi-media The Beatitudes Project, set for release spring 2017.

Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith and Martin Smith join singer/songwriters like Matt Maher, Audrey Assad, John Mark McMillan, Joel Houston, Amanda Cook as well as Propaganda, All Sons & Daughters, Terrian Bass and The Brilliance.

The project includes a book: Words From the Hill (An Invitation to the Unexpected) from NavPress, a full-length album Beatitudes from The Fuel Music, and a documentary film. The project aims to reveal a wide world of connected stories: real people from all faiths and walks of life who embody mercy, poverty, meekness, the hungry and thirsty, the peacemakers, the mourners, and the pure in heart—as seen, heard and experienced through a 21st century lens.

“The Beatitudes Project is meant to be a reset button in a world plagued with violence and division,” says Stu G, best-known as part of the bands Delirious? and One Sonic Society, who also authored the book. “These upside-down Jesus announcements on a hillside by the Sea of Galilee in Matthew 5 where Jews, Greeks, Romans and people of all ethnicities were gathered are a reminder that there is another way.”
