Digital Release: We Belong To Heaven CD

After writing hit singles for the lauded likes of Avalon, 4Him, Point of Grace and Tammy Trent (amongst a whole host of others), troubadour John Mandeville is turning his pen to a more personal side of the paper.

His solo debut We Belong To Heaven finds the Dove-award nominated tunesmith and producer simultaneously addressing a series of personal, even vulnerable themes, tied around an undeniably heartfelt approach to praise and worship. Mandeville produces and mixes the project (with mastering by five time Grammy Award winner Richard Dodd).

"My writing taking this turn was reflective of a similar trend in my life...," says Mandeville. "Eternity is the origin and the destination and writing this project documented the realization of that awakening in me."
"Armed with an uplifting, guitar centered sound along the lines of Chris Tomlin with the electronic elements of the David Crowder Band and tender piano reflections, We Belong To Heaven is a remarkably humble but instantly attachable album."
-- Andy Argyrakis

Latest Release: He Is Digital Single

He Is Digital Single, on I.P.O. Records available for download exclusively in the LifestyleOfWorship Online Store. The He Is single was released to celebrate Easter Season 2008, but this track brings a truth that is relevant at any time of the year. Performance tracks and charts are also available.

“John Mandeville has truly been given a gift to connect people with God through his music. His music is instantaneously powerful, capturing seamless beauty through the melodies of life with each song he writes. I've never known a time in John's life when he hasn't been relevant. His music stands the test of time and continues to have a sense of immediacy and a tone of timelessness. - Tammy Trent (Recording Artist/Author/Speaker)

"Blessed are the people who get to spend an evening with John Mandeville at his piano." - Morgan Cryar Recording Artist / Producer
__________________________________________
" I think I have listened to "Glorify" everyday since I got John's cd. Glorify is my prayer to God. As I was rescued 5 years ago from a personal hell of drunkeness and drug addiction I have longed to worship God with everything in me and everything my life is. After all - that's the least I can do for Him! The line in the song that says, "Your heart was breaking for mine..." wrecks me every time. I cannot fathom a God who loves me so much that His heartbreaks when mine does. Thanks John for capturing God's heart for me and myheart on this album, the whole thing rocks!!! - Beck"

__________________________________________
"I've had the honor of knowing John for years and I can honestly say that his music is a true representation of his person.

If you don't have John's CD you need to purchase several, give them to friends and prepare to enter into the Lord's presence." - Hayden Miethe, CEO GOODBYE EGO MGMT and member of KNAPSACKHEROES!

We Belong To Heaven is not just another album; it will light you up for intimacy with God. - Jeff Fitz
__________________________________________
We live in world that is continually vying for our attention by bombardingus with all manner of sensory overload. As a result, the promotion of"self" has become the 'means to an end'. However, there is hope. John Mandeville's "I Want What You Want" reminds me of such hope. With a powerful simplicity, it rises from the ashes and reintroduces us to an often over-looked truth: We are not our own. This song is an anthem. I want whatYou want; what else is there to say? - Manny
