Clay Crosse
Jun 8, 2014
Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter, worship leader and author Clay Crosse recently appeared on Trinity Broadcasting Network's (TBN) Praise The Lord, with host Kirk Cameron, to discuss his contribution to a new book, 360 Degrees of Grief: Reflections of Hope, Volume 1, and perform music from his current CD, reDedication.
"I have long admired Kirk Cameron and his public stance for his faith, so it was a real treat for me to meet him when I was a guest on TBN's Praise The Lord, which he was hosting," Crosse says. "In addition to performing on the show, I also had the opportunity to discuss a new book, 360 Degrees of Grief, which was compiled and edited by my friend, Kayla Fioravanti. Kayla asked Renee and me to contribute to the anthology, which was a humbling experience as we candidly shared the story of a time in our marriage that was very difficult. The good news is that as we worked through the grief of disappointment, God used the time to strengthen our relationship and present us with new ministry opportunities. It was a privilege to share our story of hope after pain to the Praise the Lord audience."
Released May 19 by Selah Press, 360 Degrees of Hope is a collection of first-person stories detailing how scores of people from different walks of life, including Christian recording artists Steve Green, Wayne Watson, Crosse and Melodie Tunney of First Call, have dealt with grief in a myriad of circumstances. The book was borne out of author and editor Kayla Fioravanti's grief following the death of her mother.
Clay Crosse discussed his contribution to a new book, 360 Degrees of Grief, during a recent interview with Kirk Cameron on Trinity Broadcasting Network's Praise The Lord. In the book, sixty-four authors, poets and songwriters shared their faith-based experiences of grief from death, divorce, miscarriage, abortion, empty nest, job loss, broken dreams, addiction, pornography, unplanned pregnancy, sickness, mental illness, abandonment, abuse, infertility and more.
"God uses these stories of brokenness to shine His faithfulness," Fioravanti says.
Crosse and his wife, Renee, candidly share the story of a difficult time in their marriage and the heartache and grief of that time. To view Crosse's TBN appearance, visit itbn.org
