Worship leader,singer and song writer Amanda Cook of Bethel Music released a collection of songs last September in her new album titled ‘ Brave New World'. The album attempts to capture the mystery of discovering God all over again, asking questions and finding redefining answers, also encouraging the listener to do the same. Speaking on the album, she says that before every song there was a story
‘‘The process of writing gave me. Permission to explore and to breathe in a way I didn’t know I needed. I was given a gift- to find out what I actually believe about God, to ask big questions, wrestle with what I had been told are answers, and find peace within the mystery. These are my imaginations and confessions put to melodies and music.
Brave New World represents a voyage of discovering that God has been on our side all along, that we can live a whole life, full of heart, with a capacity to process pain, wrestle with truth, and find ourselves steady at the end of our pilgrimage.
There is an endless possibility for God to create a world within us, a world transformed through the bravery of perfect Love. My prayer through this record is that you would experience the reality that you, in fact, house a Brave New World; you are a Brave New World. May you be filled with hope in the One whose mercy is timeless, and whose Love for mankind is as boundless as the sea.''
– Amanda Cook
