• Phil's enhanced comment about it: »”Music For Kids that is Sunday School Cool! — Over the past 6 years we’ve been very involved in the kids music ministry at our church and the Lord has put a real passion in our hearts to write new songs that teach and inspire the newest generation to know the Lord and develop a personal relationship with Him at the youngest age possible. It’s shaping up to be one of the most fun and fresh projects I’ve ever been a part of!”«

• National re-release of the below independent project in the U.S. via the 'Indelible Creative Group' a new small Christian music label distributed by Word Distribution.
  
  
• First radio single off the project, 'Changed', released June 30, 2006 to AC/CHR in the USA!
  
  
• Phil's comment on the album:
  »I wrote and recorded this CD in my garage behind my house. I wanted to lock Nashville out and open the doors wide to family and friends but most importantly to God. And this was the result.«
  
  
• Word Distribution comment on the album:
  »Taking a turn away from the classic 'solo artist' role, Newsboys band-member Phil Joel wrote this new project in support of the deliberatePeople. message -- which was created to help people turn their passion for the Lord into a deliberate plan to pursue Him. Written and recorded in his backyard studio, the songs are transparent and personal whole carrying a strong theme of passion and daily devotion for the Lord.
  This self-produced release focuses squarely on relationship, intimacy and daily connection with God. Mixed by fellow Kiwi Sam Gibson in Hereford, England and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the sound is organic and fresh and is indicative of Joel’s New Zealand roots. The deliberatePeople. album is Phil Joel’s third solo outing and first for Indelible Creative Group.«
