Ranked among Pollstar’s Top 100 Worldwide Tours, according to a 2007 mid-year report, the “How Great Is Our God Tour” was one of the hottest tickets last spring, selling out 20 events. Back by popular demand, Tomlin and Giglio reconvened earlier this month for another 14 cities through November. Again, the tour will assemble thousands nationwide, inviting them to experience the greatness of God through its music and message.

Tomlin reflects on this opportunity, “What a joy to be able to tour again this fall with a great friend and gifted speaker, Louie Giglio. I feel like what God has given us the opportunity to do together is a pretty special thing, and we go with huge expectations and excitement. We long to see God do some unbelievable things in our lives and the people who attend this tour.”

As a special offering to fans of the “How Great Is Our God Tour” Tomlin will release a bonus tour edition of his 2006 project, See The Morning, Oct. 23. In addition to the original album, this new package will include a DVD featuring live music videos recorded on tour last spring of “Let God Arise,” “How Can I Keep From Singing,” “How Great Is Our God” as well as Tomlin’s current radio single “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone),” presently at No. 2 on Radio & Records Christian Adult Contemporary Monitored chart. It will also incorporate Giglio’s “How Great Is Our God” tour message, which reminds fellow worshipers that the same God who spoke the universe into existence created each of us and knows our circumstances. The talk reminds listeners that although their life’s journey may be complicated and painful, God promises to preserve and restore us.
