GRAMMY-winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman will release his 16th album Oct. 23, according to his label, Sparrow Records. This Moment (EMI CMG) is Chapman's first CD in more than three years.

"I want to remind people that God is more concerned with our day-to-day than we might think," Chapman said. " ... I hope we can begin to really experience what He's doing in this moment."

In support of This Moment, he will embark on the Live in This Moment tour, a 50-plus city concert schedule that kicks off Sept. 20 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and ends Nov. 16 in Nashville, Sparrow Records said. The tour will feature Sanctus Real and singer/songwriter Bethany Dillon.
