Notes

[edit]
  • This was Terry's last full studio album with the group, as she would leave the group on February 29, 2004.
  • This was also the last album that involved songwriter Grant Cunningham, who died in July 2002 from injuries caused by a fall in a recreational soccer match in the Nashville region. A foundation named in Cunningham's memory was titled after the Point of Grace song "Blue Skies" from this album.
  • This was the group's last release with the Word Records management team, as they would be released in January 2002 by the label's new owners.
