Crosse, an author as well as a singer/songwriter, was also promoting his most recent book, Dashboard Jesus: Distinctive Reminders for Distracted Men, a humorous and compassionate guide for men of all ages, released in March 2013.

"I had a great time at ICRS this year," Crosse says. "My wife, Renee, was with me, and we spent two days reuniting with longtime media and industry friends and making new ones. I especially was encouraged by everyone's support and enthusiasm as I talked about my new book, Dashboard Jesus, and shared music from my new CD, reDedication. After being away for a few years, being at the conference definitely inspired me as I gear up to tour and promote the new record in the Fall."

Crosse, who has topped the charts with nine career No. 1 singles to-date, currently has two singles from reDedication, Crosse's first CD of new music since 2000, playing at Christian radio.
