The Awakening is an inspiring new collection of all original songs based on the bestselling book and Oprah Book Club selection:

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle.

The Awakening offers soul stirring lyrics and evocative melodies carried aloft on newcomer Phillip White?s refreshing vocal style. The dramatically arching motifs of Even Now and Till Then meld power and grace into an emotional tide of music and timeless wisdom while I Cry reveals how one simple twist can turn angst into joy. This is not your father?s New Age music, whether it is the upbeat guitars of Aha or the intimate ballad When You Return, every word and phrase deliver the promising message that each of our lives has a purpose.
