Derek Johnson “Real Love” Album Review

Derek Johnson's "Real Love" is a six-pack worship album without a single ounce of fat. Never one to waste words, each of these 12 cuts are given a careful workout where they are so trimmed that they are unequivocally focused upon the Gospel and what Jesus has done for us. If you are looking for a worship album of brand new songs that doesn't mince its words but present the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a full-barrel perspicuity and with a heartfelt passion, "Real Love" is the real beef.

Point of Grace “Directions Home (Songs We Love, Songs You Know)” Album Review

Drive time will be so much more enjoyable and rewarding with Point of Grace's "Directions Home." Not only do they navigate well in GPSing us home (whether it's literal or/and spiritual), they have encompass great scenic routes where we get to hear the trio sing some of the old verdant songs from the past all the way to today's biggest hits.

Jason Crabb “Through the Fire: The Best of Jason Crabb” Album Review

Does Jason Crabb warrant a greatest hits compilation? Without a shadow of a doubt, the answer is an unequivocal yes. As part of the Crabb Family, they have chartered 16 #1 hits. To date, they still hold the record of having the most No.1 songs on the Singing News Top 80 Radio Airplay Charts. But does Jason Crabb as a solo artist deserve a "best of" collection now?

Newport Worship “Paradise” Album Review

To cite Holy Writ, "every good tree produces good fruit." With the proliferation of prodigious talents such as Darlene Zschech, Mia Fieldes, Miriam Webster, UNITED, and Brooke Fraser, we are indeed enjoying the luscious fruits of Hillsong Church.

Heather Rice “Heather Rice” Album Review

It's a challenge to try to pigeonhole Heather Rice's new album. Like an exquisite piece of vintage oil painting, there are splashes of folk-country, dashes of New Orleans blues, splurges of New-Age-y jazz, and gallops of old school Gospel. They are all pigmented together to make this eponymous album one of the most enjoyable and colorful albums in a long while. With its variegated styles and its intricate creative nuances, there's hardly a soporific moment on these 10 cuts.

NCC Worship “You Alone” Album Review

The depth of one's worship is intrinsically bound up with the quality of nourishment one imparts into his or her soul. With senior pastor Mark Batterson (writer of best sellers such as "The Grave Robbers" and "The Circle Maker") as the gatekeeper of the Washington DC's National Community Church's spiritual food intake, you probably wouldn't expect their worship team to churn out emaciated spiritual songs filled with platitudes of clichéd triteness and superficially thin concepts.

Hillsong UNITED "Touch the Sky" Single Review

After spending almost a year at the penthouse position of the Billboard Christian Songs tally with their uber hit "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)," looks like UNITED's empire is not ready to topple.

Marty and Patti Elmore “Hand in Hand” Album Review

Marty and Patti Elmore's new album "Hand in Hand" does not just offers us tutorials in the faith. It also treks with us hand in hand through the labyrinths of life's most dire and complicated moments offering to us piquant encouragements from Scripture and leading us always to the Savior.

Joseph Habedank “Take Time to be Holy” Album Review

Hymns albums are tricky. What can an artist do to augment or make vigilant these hymns again when they have been around for hundreds of years? What audacity can we impose upon these sonic antiques and presume that we know how to interpret these tunes better than our forebearers who have had paid to sing these tunes with their lives?
