Steven Curtis Chapman on Larry King tomorrow

I love and admire Steven Curtis Chapman, so I was shocked and saddened to hear about the recent tragedy in his family (his daughter Maria was killed in May when one of his teenage sons accidentally backed into her in their driveway).

The Chapmans were on "Good Morning America" recently (watch the interview here) talking about the tragedy, and he will be on Larry King Live tomorrow at 6 pm on CNN. I haven't seen either show yet, but from what I hear and expect, these will probably be pretty honest, moving examples of how we can grieve with hope through God's great gospel.

From SCC's news page:

"Initially Steven talked about never doing any concerts or media ever again," comments Jim Houser, Chapman's manager. "But quickly God began to show Steven that if he ever believed the songs he was writing, singing and recording before May 21st and Maria's loss, that they must still be true now. It's the family's hope that these appearances with serve as a chance to proclaim to a watching world what they know and are deeply convinced of even in these difficult days, the Gospel is true and faith in Christ is our Hope."
