The album included four hit singles (”The Logical Song”, “Goodbye Stranger”, “Take the Long Way Home” and the title cut, “Breakfast in America”).

It does, however, create the positive environment of openness to change. In Rising from the Ashes: Rethinking Church, Becky Garrison interviews a number of notable voices, including Diana Butler-Bass. (p.5).
