Title Meaning
In an interview, lead singer Bart Millard explains the meaning of the title and what it relates to.
The album, 'The Generous Mr. Lovewell', revolves around a fictional character we created who reminds us that we simply need to love others well. He is like a combination of Buddy the Elf and Forest Gump,[5]
