The Petra Zone

I bought POD's greatest hits: The Atlantic Years for 50 cents at a thrift store yesterday. I've been giving that a spin. I don't like all their songs, but some are good.

This week I've been listening to MxPx's On the Cover I and II. Definitely not very spiritual, but a fun listen. I'm ready for MxPx to release some new music. They haven't had a studio album since Plans within Plans.

The God's Not Dead move was good in my opinion. I think it's especially good for students in or about to go into a university setting. Secular universities are bent on being anti-Christian.

The new Steve Taylor album is good. It took a little bit to get used to his voice and sarcasm, but I'm glad I did. Also, this week, I've been listening to Third Day's Lead Me album. Certainly not their best worship album. Could use something more musically. The stripped down approach though makes it...

Switchfoot is positive. Though not all the songs are uplifting mood-wise, I will say that at least some of the songs are encouraging. Also, there is no cursing and no worldly message.

If you're looking for some positive music, but not necessarily CCM, check out Need to breathe, Switchfoot, or Colony House.

I'd like to know what Petra fans have been listening to lately. We could periodically keep the post going. Last week I listened to David Crowder Band's Give Us Rest. This week I've been listening to Peter Furler's On Fire and Peter Furler Band's Sun and Shield. How about you?

I love this album as well.

I'll operate under the assumption that compilations are "cheating". Petra - More Power To Ya Resurrection Band - Awaiting Your Reply Guardian - Buzz White Heart - Freedom PFR - Great Lengths Those are really good albums from Guardian and PFR. Really miss PFR. Too bad they changed their mind about d...

Thanks for the info.
Too bad the Godfixation one was never printed for the public.
It would be cool if Bob came out with another one for the God Fixation Era through J and H; and made it available to everyone.

What other devotionals did Petra release besides this one? I have this one, but would like to be able to get other one(s) if possible.

According to Billboard, Lichens played with the Dan Reed Network while touring with Bon Jovi.
