Vertical Music will release a new companion CD to the Zondervan Publishing/Youth Specialties devotion book, Everything Counts, on August 24, featuring worship music by some of Christian music’s most popular modern rock artists, announced Kevin Weimer, VP of Integrity Label Group.

Everything Counts-Worship Songs for Radical Living, features worship songs by SONICFLOOd, Tree63, Todd Agnew, Big Daddy Weave, By The Tree, Lincoln Brewster, and more. Inspired by Oswald Chambers’ classic My Utmost For His Highest, the book Everything Counts features a year’s worth of devotions adapted for students. Youth Specialties and Zondervan Publishing will re-release a new, updated version of the book in conjunction with the CD release.

“For generations, Oswald Chambers’ devotions have inspired Christians in their relationship with God. We hope the music on Everything Counts – Worship Songs for Radical Living will inspire the same passion in young people, challenging those who hear the CD to live with reckless abandon for Christ,” said Weimer.

The artists and songs selected for the Everything Counts CD were chosen for their musical and lyrical relevance to the youth market and as a thematic complement to the student devotion book. In addition to popular artists, the track listing includes some of the foremost youth and modern worship leaders. The final track list is:

  1. By The Tree - “I Need You”

  2. Tree63 - “King”

  3. Jason Morant - “You Give Me Life”

  4. Todd Agnew - “This Fragile Breath”

  5. SONICFLOOd - “Famous One”

  6. Big Daddy Weave - “Everything You Are”

  7. Dave Lubben - “Lay It Down”

  8. Kathryn Scott - “At The Foot Of The Cross”

  9. Michael Gungor - “Little Kingdom”

  10. Lincoln Brewster - “More Like You”

  11. Desperation - “This Is My Life”

  12. UNITED - “Evermore”

Everything Counts – Worship Songs for Radical Living will be enhanced with special features, including four song charts and lyric files. Purchasers of the record will also have access to additional song charts and lyric files free at VerticalMusic.com.

Integrity Music will support the Vertical release with a comprehensive marketing campaign that includes print advertising and radio promotions.

“The goal of our marketing efforts will be to distinguish Everything Counts – Worship Songs for Radical Living for its relationship to the Oswald Chambers’ book and its music appeal working together to promote a radical lifestyle of worship. We want it to be a must-have for youth leaders and a most wanted for kids,” said Mark Campbell, senior director of marketing for Integrity Label Group.
