The Alter and the Door is the third full studio album from Casting Crowns. Once again the Christian band manage to fuse together soft rock with Christian teaching, preaching, faith motivation and encouragement.

With every band, the questions start to be asked 'is their best work behind them?'.  Opinion seems very much universal - NO! This album is punchy and energetic. It screams with passion and enthusiasm. It is challenging yet heart warming.

The opening track 'What this world needs' has to rank up there with Casting Crowns greatest tracks of all time.

There is no gettting away from the fact that this band are getting better with age.

The commitment they show to their faith is unquestionable: they certainly are no 'one hit wonder with an axe to grind'!

Miss this album at your peril!

This was the first major release from the band. The songs are powerful and challenging for the believer to hear. Most notably is 'If we are the body' which is a challenge for the church to be all that it is called to be. Each song packs a punch, some more than others. Opinion is divided but the classic tracks are generally considered to be:

'What if His People Prayed'

'If we are the body?'

'The Voice of Truth'

'Your love is extravagent'

All of the tracks on this album are directly based on verses of scripture, with the exception of 'Your love is extravagent', which has no direct root in scripture, although still encapsulating facets of the Christian faith.

This album is a wake up call for the church to be all that it was made to be. It is worship and teaching and motivation all in one. This is a must have for all Christians.
