 Last November Steven released "This Moment", his first studio album in four years.  The songs "Miracle of the Moment" and "Cinderella" have gone to radio so far.  The album, as well as the song "Cinderella" has been very successful, but recently there was some sad news for Steven and his family.  His youngest daughter (and third adopted daughter from China) died tragically at the end of May when her brother accidentally ran over her in the family driveway.  She was rushed to the hospital but sadly did not make it.  Steven has been using the tragedy to reach out to his fans.  We express our deepest sympathy to Steven, Mary Beth, Emily, Caleb, Will Franklin, Shaohannah Hope, and Stevey Joy.

Some happy news emerged from the Chapman clan in May - oldest daughter Emily announced her engagement.  Congratulations to Emily and her fiancee!

Be sure to pick up "This Moment" if you haven't already - look for the "Cinderella" version in stores, complete with brand new packaging and a few new songs.

 Steven has released more information about his new CD.  Steven's adopted daughter Shaohannah graces the cover with her dad and also has a small speaking part on the album.  Shaoey represents what the title song is about - a child with just one wish, a family.

This CD features the six new songs that were featured only on Steven's last Christmas release, exclusively for Hallmark.  Hallmark sold out of the CD within weeks, but now the songs featured on there are available on "All I Really Want."  Also on the new CD is a re-recorded version of "Christmas in All in the Heart" and two new SCC Christmas cover songs, "Angels From the Realms of Glory" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."
