"My wife, Renee, and I really enjoyed our time at ICRS in St Louis. I was thankful to be promoting my new CD, reDedication,
as well as my new book for men,
Dashboard Jesus. An added bonus was bumping into some big names in the world of professional sports," Crosse said. "These guys were there promoting various projects they are involved in. Pat Williams is a huge name in the NBA with his history of general managing several teams over the years, including the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic. I most admire him for his influential voice in the area of adoption. Pat has 18 children, 14 of which he adopted. I also got to meet former football great Brian Bosworth and professional wrestling legend Lex Luger. I've always been a big sports fan, so this was a real treat!"
Crosse, who has topped the charts with nine career No. 1 singles to-date, currently has two singles from reDedication, Crosse's first CD of new music since 2000, playing at
Christian radio. "Working On A Building," featuring Christian music legend Russ Taff and American Idol finalist Melinda Doolittle, was recently released to AC and Gospel radio formats, and "When I Lift My Hands" has been released to Soft AC and Inspirational radio formats.
