As it continues to draw interest from fans, Texas Rangers’ Outfielder Josh Hamilton enters the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, TX in front of nearly 25,000 people at each game to the sounds of Phillips, Craig and Deans’ “Saved The Day” from their 2006 INO Records’ release Top of My Lungs.
Pegged as the Rangers’ “Miracle Man,” the Major League Baseball player opened up to the Fort Worth Star Telegram recently about his choice in music and the impact that it is having on the fans. “So many people have asked about it,” Hamilton said. “The Rangers get e-mails all the time asking ‘What song was that?’ I’ve had a lot of people say they love the song.”
Currently leading the Major Leagues in RBIs, Hamilton believes the song reflects his strong faith in Jesus Christ and in the transforming power of the gospel. “It’s one of those things,” Hamilton said. “A lot of guys want to listen to their song. What I want to do is I want everyone else to hear my song.”
A year ago, Hamilton shared his testimony with ESPN. You can read the full article here. This past week, the Texas Rangers web site also posted an article about Hamilton’s incredible year. He was batting .313 with 21 home runs and 93 RBIs before Saturday’s game.
Hamilton will be the starting centre fielder for the American League and will take part in the Home Run Derby at this Tuesday’s Major League Baseball All-Star game at Yankee Stadium.
Phillips, Craig & Dean continue to tour and have begun work on their 12th studio project titled When Grace Walks In set to release next year.
“Some things you do for the money. Some things you do out of obligation, responsibility or a sense of nobility. But some things you do simply because you love-love-LOVE it. You can’t imagine not doing it. It’s the joyous gift God has put in your heart that makes passionate living possible,” says the group. For Randy Phillips, Shawn Craig and Dan Dean, that thing is ministry through music. More succinctly put: These guys love-love-LOVE to sing about God. And way beyond the 10 albums, 18 No. 1 singles and over two million records sold in the past 17 years, the story of God’s grace in their lives just keeps getting bigger.
Their individual lives are steeped in local church ministry, but it’s the power of song that keeps them coming back to the studio and stage. “Most of our songs come from real life experiences,” Dan says. “We sing to reach out to people who are going through difficult places in their lives. We choose songs that will bring the reality of Christ into those places.”
This past Tuesday, two Phillips, Craig & Dean Two For One CDs were released to Canadian Christian retail. Each CD contains two full titles including Phillips, Craig & Dean/Lifeline and Let My Words Be Few/Restoration. Check them out at PCD’s YMZ artist page.
