Praise Singer’s Young Son Has Cancer
One of my church’s praise team members’ son has just been diagonosed with a dangerous bone cancer in his leg. Tucker Beam is only 7 1/2 years old. He is already a cancer survivor from when he was 1 year old. However, the doctors have told his parents that this recurrence may be even more dangerous.

They plan to release Pure Praise (formerly titled Praise More Powerful) in the United States and in Canada in December of 2008. They also plan�to promote Pure Praise�in some of their other international markets, including Australia and the UK.
