Bebo Norman's new album, "Ocean", released on September 28, 2010. It's a personal album, according to Norman, that covers the discovery of his true identity and the battle between fear and faith. The singer/songwriter told CBN.com that he hopes "Ocean" causes listeners to "look internally… at where they draw their own identity from. It’s worth wrestling with who we are, where we draw our value from, and where we draw our life from and .... refocusing on the source of whatever season of life we are in rather than focusing on the season itself." http://www.cbn.com/cbnmusic/interviews/bebo-norman-ocean-goodwyn.aspx Bebo Norman's "Ocean" Experience: An in-depth interview, CBN.com .
