If Larry Norman lived later, he would have made this album. That's the first line only intended to be understood by those who have been exposed strongly to the religious youth culture and found the impact that Jars of Clay modestly stumbled upon as a gift from above. Full of wonderful textures and soul full , passionate songwriting, this album took a greater leap than anything of the worship capped genre; it was like secular musicians decided to love Jesus. Mainstream success later drove them underground but this album stands as a triumph for Christian rock (at least for those who like it) because the Christ loving kids all agreed in what they wanted: to see the art in them.
