Toward the end of July 2004, Serenity of Life launched their first Inspirational album entitled "Absolution." In a special partnership, the CD was originally launched exclusivley at www.passion-movie.com as a free gift when customers pre-ordered the video "The Passion of the Christ." With thousands and thousands already enjoying the music, "Absolution" has already found a special place in many peoples' hearts. We would like to thank God for the inspiration, courage, and strength to create and finish this album. We firmly believe that He was with us through this long, yet dedicated journey to bring you these, what we think, beautiful sounds of inspiration. Of course, we can't forget our family, friends, and loved ones for their signs of true and unending support. We'd like to especially thank our feature solo artists, Shari Wilson, Meegan Jesse, and Christy Linn. You breathed a new life into our songs. You truly made this album come alive. Many of the songs have been written in Latin have been articulately translated by Dr. Gerald Malsbary. Thank you Gerry for these beautiful words of a language that we should never forget. Special thanks to all of our technical specialists, Jon and Peter, for your sonic expertise. The roots of the formation of these songs into an album began with the song, Struggle to Victory, which was written in December 2003 after seeing the trailer for the film "The Passion of The Christ." The trailer alone stirred our inspiration and many months later, the entire album was completed. Our songs speak of a place of peace and tranquility, but they also sing with a wisdom that knows that that serenity sometimes comes at a price. A price that is worth enduring and sometimes that has to be fought for. We hope these songs take you on a journey to a new place faraway, or even a place within - a place of peace - life's sweet serenity.
