Today marks the release of Reckless, Jeremy Camp's first studio album in five years. His last recorded release was the live album, We Cry Out: Worship Project. Reckless features 11 tracks and was co-written with producer and engineer Andy Dodd. Camp, 35, has one of the largest followings in Christian Contemporary music.

The album got its unusual title from an equally unusual source. Camp drew inspiration from the disciple Paul, specifically from Paul's ordeal in Acts 14. In the text, Paul returns to Lystra where he had previously been stoned, to share the gospel. Paul's return could be described as crazy, but Camp's view is that Paul was reckless in his devotion to the lord, not crazy.

"[Paul] wasn't being crazy for crazy's sake, saying 'I don't care what's going to happen. I just want to go.' No, when you feel God calling you to do something, you have to be obedient. And that's the difference. Paul was just obedient. That's what reckless is, Camp explained"

Camp will release his first book titled "I Still Believe" in late February.

Reckless, Camp's 11 track new album is available now for download on iTunes.
