Praise & worship veteran Don Moen, with 17 albums and 5 million units in sales to his credit, has just released what is being billed his most personal recording yet, I Believe There Is More (0-00768-44502-0, Integrity Music/Provident-Integrity), which became available March 3. 

For the first time, Moen produced one of his own albums, but instead of getting caught up in the heady technical aspects, he described the project as one on which he followed his heart. “I’m once again writing and recording new music, fully persuaded that there is still more God has for me to do,” said Moen, 58.

Moen actually wrote or co-wrote nine of the album’s 14 tracks, which range in style from choral to Celtic to gospel. “This is the first time I’ve written in a long, long time,” Moen said. “Writing was always something I crammed into the middle of a busy schedule. But I’ve had time to live with these songs and to be intentional about the writing process. I really think it’s the most personal project I’ve ever done.”

Moen said it’s easy to get discouraged at the thought that the best is in the past, but said he’s out to pursue life with the same vigor he had years ago. “I have a sense that there are lots of family members in the body of Christ who are wondering where they are going with their lives and how they got to where they are today,” he said, adding that the “response is ‘absolutely yes!’ God still has more.”
