Michael Card - The Life: A Complete Anthology of Songs (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) [Paperback] Review

AS a fellow believer and musician, I find the other review appalling!!If one cannot listen to the trilogy and hear the artistry and the lyrical genius Michael -pardon the pun-brings to the table-one has a problem.His fresh look at the life of Christ-is refreshing!!I wonder why the author of the other review has to steel himself to listen to such conscise and masterful lyrics that delve into the mystery of Christ's birth, death and resurrection.Michael is a folk singer -and though he may not be the greatest singer or musician, he is a notch above the rest of the Christian Singer songwriters simply for his heartfelt and wonderful wedding of lyrics and melody.How can onel listen to "Joseph's Song and not be moved?How can one listen to "The Promise" and not be amazed at how well Michael delivers his theology and takes our breath away with his poetry?who cannot listen to "Why" and not be moved to tears?who can listen to "What Will It Take" without examining his own soul?THIS MAN IS AN ARTIST-HE PAINTS VIVID PICTURES WITH LYRICS AND MELODY-AND LIKE A VAMPIRE HUNTER DRIVES THE POINTS TO OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.THIS IS NOT CCM PAP EAR CANDY-THIS IS ARTISTIC MUSIC WITH A VISION OF HELPING US APPRECIATE CHRIST AND HIS DEATH FOR OUR SINS.
Michaels's music is challenging and engaging at the same time.ONe cannot walk away from this project without thinking new thoughts about their faith and the object of it.attempting to tell the story of Christ in music is a daunting task-and while I do not care for all of the music-the message is solid and the lyrics will sometimes cause your jaw to drop as michael delivers an old point in a new way.Such as in the song "God's Own Fool"when he sing"And so we folow God's own fool.for only the foolish can tell. Believe the unbelievable, and come be a fool as well."
Find the cds and revel in them.The music collection covers Christmas and Easter as well.
