Overview

The Shelter is described as a collection of songs about community, the title of which was taken from the old Irish Proverb "It is in the shelter of each other that the people live." Shelter features appearances from 15 artists including Amy Grant, Derek Webb, Mac Powell, Leigh Nash, Sara Groves, David Crowder, Toby Mac, and Audrey Assad.

The album's lead single "Out of My Hands" was made available as a free download on the band's official website in August 2010.

CBN writes in their review of the album: "The ultimate strength of The Shelter lies not in its all-star cast or even stellar production. It's in the songwriting. Each and every song contains a penetrating spiritual truth that points the listener vertically toward worship. This might be Jars of Clay's best album since their Grammy winner, The Eleventh Hour."—CBN.com
