The Petra Zone

Everyone loves these "what's your favorite song" lists! :) I love John's vocals in many, many songs. Here's my top 5: 1. Just Reach Out - this one has meant so much to me since it was released many years ago. I have to list it first for that reason. 2. Sacred Trust - it really is cool to see that se...

i have a question - is the stage set for back to the rock the same equipment that was used for beat the system?

I plan to pledge soon. I have a great deal of gratitude toward John and Petra.
Am deciding on the amount. Thanks to all who have already pledged.

Which other Christian artists do you guys like? Rez had some good songs. I like a lot of Newsboys (Furler era). Don Francisco.

What are the best Larry Norman songs? Who else?

I like it!!

Less than 2% of the average church tithes. There is a record number of churches in financial ruin because of unbiblical debt. TV ministries are cutting back. Someone has to think out of the box. I havent seen churches foreclose yet but it can't be far off. As one author once said it, "churches that ...

[quote="Tutor23"]It is interesting how different we Petra fans' opinions can be about the band we love! E.g., I think "Too Big" is one of the *weakest songs* on the new CP album. In fact, I'd say it's one of the weaker ones in recent years. I think it sounds like something that would have fit better...

Daniel: I don't think todays youth could handle Petra lyrics, to biblical for them.

You got THAT right.

imc - nicely played!

Yes, you're exactly right, booray. :) I will add that I agree with those of you who have said Volz sounds as good, if not better, on the CP album than he did several decades ago. I find that remarkable, considering he is over 60. I like the CP versions of most of these songs. Especially, Angel of Li...

Nicely played, Brent.

Thanks, all! I got a reasonable price from Amazon.com. It arrived within 2-3 days. Love it!

Ummm... Pleeeeeeeeeeeease tell me I am missing something here. I just went to order my CD from CP.com, and it was going to cost me $9.99 for the CD + $15.22 for S&H. A total of over $25 for the CD. And that was the least expensive shipping method. YIKES!! :( I might have to go through iTunes instead...

I am ordering mine today. How many have you purchased?

Are any dates posted anywhere? I see nothing at the ClassicPetra website.
Thanks!
