Steven Curtis Chapman (born November 21, 1962 in Paducah, Kentucky) is one of the most influential singer/songwriters in contemporary Christian music. He was first signed on to a songwriting deal in the early 1980s, based upon the strength of his song “Built To Last” which was recorded by popular gospel group The Imperials. Shortly after, he signed a record deal with Sparrow Records, where he rose to prominence.

He and his wife Mary Beth have three biological children, (Emily Elizabeth, Caleb Stevenson, Will Franklin) and they adopted three Chinese girls (Shaohannah Hope Yan, Stevey Joy Ru, Maria Sue Chapman). They are also recognized advocates for adoption. Together, they founded Shaohannah’s Hope, a charity organization which offers grants to qualifying families to help defray the cost of adopting, at home and abroad. Both were awarded the Angels of Adoption award by a Congressional Committee for adoption in Washington, D.C.

Chapman’s five-year-old daughter, Maria Sue Chunxi Chapman, was killed in a tragic accident on May 21, 2008.[7] Maria was accidentally hit by her older brother Will, driving a Toyota Land Cruiser pulling into the driveway of their home in Franklin, Tennessee after coming home from a play audition, according to Tennessee Department of Safety spokesman Mike Browning. Maria was pronounced dead upon arrival to the hospital.

I can't believe Live Out Loud isn't higher up. It's such an inspirational song.

Beauty Will Rise is absolutely incredible and so impacting to everyone I know that has heard it. God has given him a boldness and strength he would never have if what he's gone through hadn't happened.

I am not a fan of Christian music, as I myself am not Christian. But I have to admit, this guy has really good music. Cinderella and What I Am Fighting For are my favorite songs.

His Eyes is probably the most comforting Christian song ever made!

SCC and other similar christian artists got me through my teenage years. Wish this quality of music was still as common.

I used to think SCC's music was too "rock" for me. But then I started listening to the words of his songs, and they have such a message. He's awesome!

SCC s song "Mountain" is possibly the best song ever recorded.

My son, now 11, has loved the song DIVE since it first came out in 99, I believe. Thus, he was only about a year and a half . If it came out before then, my son liked it then. He was just a tiny thing. He has wanted to sing this song at church for many, many years. He is not scarred. I am sorry for navitatl and 010101' s tough time with this so ng. I hope you listen to the rest of SCC 's songs, and let them minister to you. God can heal you of those scars. God bless you.
