Songs -- they all could be a hit. - Every song on this album can stand on it s own. So many CD s have 2-3 good songs...the one s played on the radio, and the rest are only half as good if you re lucky. Each song on this album could hold its own as a single. I especially like Screen Door. Very true!Buy it!
uplifting, truly spiritual, intelligent christian music - If you like christian music and you have not listened to (Wayne)Rich Mullin you must listen to his music. It truly leaves you feeling like you have experienced something spiritual.
Beautiful music - Absolutely beautiful. I had lost another Rich Mullins CD and purchased this as a replacement. Simply, absolutely beautiful.
The great poet of the faith. - Rich Mullins was one of those rare birds, the type of Christian who s vision was incorruptible by the makings of man-made religion and the tasty, salted morsels of idealistic micowavable faith. He was resolute, not on the things many pious church mice of our day are, but on the idea that grace has never abandoned us, that it is a very real and passionate force in this world and that God has not quit on humanity or on us as individuals. To the contrary, Mullins words echo out from the canyons of heaven: that the faith is larger than our modest grasp of it, and that the glory of Christ transcends past the church pews where comfortable ho-hum believers find themselves rationalizing their own bored view of the cross and heaven.Mullins hits us with the weeping testimony of a man in longing for his final home in heaven, of a free-liver who transcendentally takes in the glory of God through nature in the fields of Kansas, of a wavering Christian on the verge of free-falling from the cliffs of life as he pleads, Hold me Jesus, because I m shaking like a leaf. You have been my King of Glory, now be my Prince of Peace. Mullins was, in a way, our through the looking glass tell-it-like-it-is poet who enabled us to think outside the realm of what we ve been so boringly taught by a myriad of smug Sunday school teachers and political believers with a self-created agenda to push. Mullins words on this album radiate a calming lesson: life is to live and the faith is more than something to merely talk about. It is something to weep over, test, relish in, and, if it comes to it, bleed yourself dry for. There will likely be others who help us to think more clearly on the reality of the greatness of the One, but there will never be one who was so poignant in the way he made us meditate on the immense, always-abounding beauty of a Creator who adores us more than any lover could hope to dream. Here, you will find a poet who spares us the cheap clichés and hits our eardrums with the radiant truth of the Everlasting.
Great Uplifting Music! - The songs on this album are wonderful, uplifting praises! This was actually my second purchase because I wore the first one out! Teens enjoy singing several of these songs, too, especially Screen Door!
