GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- In a time where spirituality is a relative term, solo artist Wayburn Dean shows how an umbrella of faith can be more than enough to weather the worst of storms. With his fourth release since leaving the platinum award-winning group Acappella in 2001, Wayburn Dean delivers "Through the Rain" an upbeat and powerful reminder that hope and belief shed light upon the darkest of situations. 

"As I'm on the road, it seems there are so many people going through tough times, whether it's financial challenges, loss of loved ones, loss of job or relational issues, people are hurting," says Wayburn Dean. "So many people are searching for answers, and we wanted to write songs that would touch the soul and encourage people to draw near to God in these uncertain and fearful times."   

At any given time, individuals are headed toward a storm, in the throws of a storm, or just coming out of a storm. Dean invites individuals looking for hope and support to visit www.wayburndean.com/contactus.html and share their own stories of faith or to ask any questions they may have about faith.

Listeners interested in hearing the new release which is expected to hit stores in March of 2008, can visit www.creativepromotions.net/WayburnDean/Music.htm .
