The official release date of ''The End is Not the End'' was September 23, 2008. Due to distribution issues, the album is only available on iTunes and at live shows for the time being. At the band's CD release show in Columbus on September 17th 2008, lead guitarist and vocalist Tim Skipper said that the current plan is to release ''The End is Not the End'' in stores in February 2009. The February release edition will essentially be a Special Edition as it will tentatively feature a DVD and some more extras. Although it has now officially been released, it is still hard to get hold of from christian suppliers such as STL due to distribution issues.

{{Album ratings
''The End Is Not The End'' has been received well critically. AbsolutePunk.net gave it a 92% rating, saying "...it's a record with so much going for it, in terms of quality, quantity and intelligence, substance, etc. ... that it's destined to be the blueprint for how pop music can and should be done, but most likely won't. Open your eyes, pop music creationists: this is how you do it right." SputnikMusic.com rated it five stars, saying "There is hardly any band out there who is daring enough to make an album quite as grandiose as this, and only one in my book who could ever succeed." Jesus Freak Hideout also rated it five stars, saying, "Look for it on a lot of industry top tens at year's end. But you heard it here first . . . The End Is Not the End is easily the best record of 2008."
