Passion: The Essential Collection released this week, highlighting the best moments of Passion since its inception in 1997. The album includes some of the most-sung worship songs of all time led by renowned worship leaders such as Chris Tomlin, Kristian Stanfill, Matt Redman, David Crowder*Band, Christy Nockels and Charlie Hall. The collection also features seven live video performances along with four talks from Passion founder, Louie Giglio.

Critics are responding to Passion: The Essential Collection with enthusiasm, calling it "brilliant and soul-stirring," (Examiner.com) and "A tour de force as far as church worship music is concerned. (Hallels)" Soul-Audio sums it up as "highlights of a movement: the songs, the messages and the heartbeat that have captivated a generation and spread across the globe," while Hollywood Jesus claims "There is not a weak point in this collection at all."

This week marks the end of the 26-city "Passion: Take It All Tour" led by Kristian Stanfill with its final stop in Williamsburg, VA on November 14. The tour has brought out great crowds, selling out venues in St. Louis, Sarasota, Tampa, Baton Rouge, Indianapolis, Lakeland, FL., Harrisonburg, VA and Williamsburg, VA.

This tour has helped pave the way for Passion 2015, which will take place in Atlanta (Jan 2-4; 16-18) and Houston (Jan 30-Feb 1). To register or learn more about Passion 2015, click here.

About Passion Conferences:
Led by a stirring in the heart of Atlanta-based pastor, Louie Giglio, Passion was birthed in 1997 to see the 20+ million college students across the globe awaken to the reality of an omnipotent and glorious Creator. Since then, millions of students from across the globe have joined the Passion movement, united across ministry and denominational lines, to seek the face of God in worship and prayer at nine conferences, four world tours and multiple one-day and regional events. Passion's core scripture, Isaiah 26:8 states: "Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts." The small Passion Team is led by Louie Giglio and operates under the direction of a Board that is committed to spreading the fame of Jesus Christ to college students around the globe.
