Nashville, TN (February 3, 2021)
Christian music songwriter and producer—and former Mormon—Paul Cardall, has announced the upcoming release of his newest album, as well as a new book.

The new album, The Broken Miracle, is a memoir type album, following the story of his life and it’s based on the biographical fiction novel of the same name, which was written by J.D. Netto, the book will be released on February 2, with the album following on February 5.

Paul posted this statement on FB back in October of 2020:
“I’m usually very private about my faith because I respect each of you who come from a variety of Christian denominations, and those who are faithful in their Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, and even some of my Atheist and Agnostic friends. I respect your journey as you’ve respected mine.

As a Christian, there comes a time in our lives when we can no longer deny a spiritual transformation that occurs in our lives as we honestly, humbly, and submissively seek answers and healing from God.

Over the past decade, my life has dramatically shifted away from Mormonism towards Christ. Growing up I believed in Jesus and knew Him because I relied on Him desperately with every illness. I give God the credit for guiding my medical team on raising me from the dead, temporarily like Lazarus, and fixing me though organ donation. Jesus changed my heart literally and began changing my heart spiritually these past few years.

The law of Moses was fulfilled and yet for 45 years I’ve continued to read the law and participate in rituals with a symbolic veil over my eyes (2 Corinthians 3:15). Like Saul, I was ambitious in declaring boldly that I knew it all…but that’s a whole other conversation. Needless to say, like Saul I, too, was blind and I apologize.

I love you all so much.

If you are interested in pursuing a life filled with sincere healing—free from judgement in a world where Jesus asked the woman caught in the very act of adultery, “Where are thine accusers?” “None, Lord.” “Then neither do I condemn thee” come with me. Where Jesus waited to mentor a woman at the well He knew was living with a man who wasn’t her husband, whoever was forever changed by that one by one encounter, then come. And to many more misfits, outcasts, moths, who were rejected by the Church of His day, that He encountered and healed, come let’s follow this Jesus. He is my God and He wants to be your God. All are welcome to the table. Come with me, let’s go follow Him and encounter all those in need of healing, compassion, mercy, and love. None are rejected. Know the truth and this truth, which is Jesus, will set you Free… I testify of this—I am free.” — Paul Cardall

About Paul:
A few years ago, on a hunch, Paul and his wife Tina decided to move to Nashville, TN. He wanted to live in a place that was a hub of Christian music. Within two years here, he sold his publishing, scored a Dove Award for Best Instrumental Album, a Christmas project he did with producer Jim Daneker, and started his own podcast, All Heart, on the American Songwriter network of podcasts. He’s a gregarious man and continues to build great partnerships with the likes of Thompson Square, who has two duets on Paul’s upcoming album. That same new project also has collaborations with artists from a variety of genres like pop star David Archuleta, Tyler Glenn (Neon Trees), Ty Herndon, Matt Hammit and others.

About the book:
Helen Murphy, CEO Anthem Entertainment said, “J. D. Netto, with contributions from Paul Cardall, has written an inspiring book that illustrates the true healing power of music. Through the lens of Paul’s traumatic early life and adulthood, we see how music saved him and allowed him the freedom to express his fear and pain. Then we watch how Paul turned it all around and shared his own music to heal others. Paul is an incredible musician and a very caring human being. His words and his music touch the very deepest emotions in people.”

If an album was a memoir, this would be a soundtrack to the pianist and songwriter’s life. Every year over a million children are born with some form of congenital heart defect that in most cases requires immediate surgery and a life long journey in and out of hospitals. Cardall took comfort in music as a teenager and since receiving a heart transplant in 2009, it’s been his life’s work to use music to help heal other hearts. The Broken Miracle is a novel written by J.D. Netto based on the life of Paul Cardall.

“It’s a bit surreal to see a duology inspired by my own life. I know my journey hasn’t been the easiest or what people consider “normal,” but seeing some of the most challenging moments I lived translated into words on a page brought clarity to many questions I had.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
J.D. Netto was given access to many of my personal notes and diaries. In them I shared secrets I had kept for years. The experience of having an author put together a puzzle that was often just a pile in my head brought light to my own shadows. The book puts into words many things I tried to voice out throughout my life. It portrays the emotions and downfalls I experienced while many around me seemed healthy and strong. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
J.D. beautifully portrays the journey, digging deep through unvoiced emotions and secrets. ⠀⁣

My personal contribution is burrowed in each chapter. I got to edit each scene with notes from my personal experiences. Seeing them expand into powerful moments in the story was a breath of fresh air—even for me. It brought me perspective, healing, and even more courage to keep on living.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
My hope is that this novel instills in you the desire to live. I’ve been on the brink of death countless times, thought about giving up in a few of them, but in the end, love prevailed. I’m alive. My heart is beating. Life is worth living.” —Paul Cardall
