Girder Records is proud to announce the long-awaited reissues of two seminal albums from the iconic Christian music group 2nd Chapter of Acts: "Singer Sower" and "Mansion Builder". These beloved albums, originally released in 1983 and 1978 respectively, are set to be available for pre-order starting Wednesday, March 27, 2024.

Singer Sower: A Time Capsule of 80s Christian Music

"Singer Sower" encapsulates the spirit of the 80s Christian music scene with its synthesis of heartfelt songwriting, tight harmonies, and innovative production. Featuring guitars and synths by Kerry Livgren and three-part harmonies from Matthew Ward, Annie Herring, and Nelly Greisen, this album marked a significant transition for 2nd Chapter of Acts.

Remastered for optimal sound quality, "Singer Sower" showcases the band's ability to adapt to the sounds of a new decade while retaining their signature style. With tracks like "Room Noise," "Ocean Liner," and the poignant tribute to Keith Green, "Lift Me Up," this album is a testament to the enduring impact of 2nd Chapter of Acts.

Mansion Builder: A Testament to Trailblazing Christian Music

"Mansion Builder" represents a pivotal moment in 2nd Chapter of Acts' career as they made their Sparrow Records debut. Featuring lush harmonies and stellar production, this album includes standout tracks such as "Psalm 93," "Rainbow," and a stirring rendition of Keith Green's "Make My Life a Prayer to You."

Remastered and reissued for the first time since 1991, "Mansion Builder" serves as a timeless reminder of the band's pioneering role in the Christian music movement of the 70s.
