Recording artist, songwriter, and author Daryl Boyer has released his new 13-track country and rock-country album, Grace & Gravel Roads, on streaming platforms as of October 30. The album arrives alongside his recently published book, For Such a Time as Now: A Call to Courageous Christianity in a Compromising Culture, and a free original Christmas single, "Let Christmas Shine." Together, the projects aim to offer a message of faith, truth, and hope to a culture experiencing division and shifting values.
Grace & Gravel Roads features songs that explore struggle, family, gratitude, faith, and redemption. Tracks like "Made for More Than Me" encourage listeners to recognize the value of what God has placed in their hands and use it to make a difference in others' lives, while "This Ends Tonight" addresses destructive patterns and the decision to leave yesterday's chains behind. The album follows two previous #1 Christian Country radio singles, "Never Looking Back" and "Running Down Revival." "Made for More Than Me" has been serviced to radio through Play MPE, and "This Ends Tonight" through CDX Nashville. Listeners can stream the album via https://darylboyer.hearnow.com/, and physical CDs are available through Boyer's ministry website.
The companion book, published by Kharis Publishing and released September 25, 2026, calls Christians to grow in discernment, renew their minds, and stand firmly in biblical truth. Boyer addresses the cost of compromise, the difference between fearing God and fearing people, and the need to move beyond passive Christianity into a life of obedience. While the book invites readers to examine the beliefs and choices shaping their lives, the album brings those questions into relatable stories of struggle, surrender, gratitude, and breakthrough. Both offer encouragement for those who want to live with conviction and hope when the surrounding culture feels unstable. For Such a Time as Now is available on Amazon, through other booksellers, and via https://darylboyerministries.com, where book information and availability can be found.
Boyer's Christmas single, "Let Christmas Shine," extends the message into the holiday season. The song celebrates the hope of Jesus' birth and encourages listeners to share His love through kindness, generosity, and making room for others. It arrives on streaming platforms November 12, 2026, and is currently available as a free download for listeners and radio stations. Radio stations of all formats are invited to download the song free and consider adding it to holiday programming.
