Alabama's Ryan John seeks to minister to those carrying scars

MONTGOMERY, Alabama-based pastor, speaker and rock singer Ryan John has released the album 'Beautiful Scars'. Produced by Marcus Acker, the project has already received enthusiastic reviews from CCM magazine and Christianity Today. Said Ryan, "It is our scars that often times define us. While physical scars change our appearance it is the emotional scars that define our character and growth. The past year of my life has been filled with scars from both my jobs and my relationships. There have been times when the cause of these scars was too difficult to bear on my own. It is Christ that carried me and saw me through the pain. I hope this record will encourage others who are dealing with their own scars."
