The Petra Zone

I just wanted to say thank you to the band for being such a positive influence in my walk with God. They have been my favorite band for 14 years now. I still remember the first Petra CD I got. It was Petra Praise: The Rock Cries out when I was 16 years old. I got it from a music club and it came in ...

I would have to say that God Fixation is that way for me. For some reason I don't listen to it that often, but when I do I find myself really enjoying the majority of it. When it first came out it was so different from what they had done before, so I continued to listen to classics like This Means W...

I don't like to hear the rumor of Petra retiring. They have been such a great ministry tool in my life. I do like hearing that there might be a live album in the works though. It has been almost four years since I have seen them in concert, so I haven't heard any of Jekyll & Hyde live and would love...

I would like to add The Longing from Double Take to my list. Like most, Double Take isn't my favorite Petra CD, but it does have some good stuff on it. Take another listen to The Longing. It really is a quality song.

A few that I think could be considered underrated are

Mary's Song (Washes Whiter Than)
Disciple (More Power to Ya)
King's Ransom (Back to the Street)
Marks of the Cross (Wake Up Call)

One of my favorite slower songs from Petra is King's Ransom from Back to the Street. It's one of the more underrated Petra ballads in my opinion. I always have it on my favorites complilations.

My list goes like this:

1: This Means War
2: Jekyll & Hyde
3: Beyond Belief
4: On Fire
5: Not of This World
6: Unseen Power
7: Wake-Up Call
8: Never Say Die
9: More Power To Ya
10: God Fixation

Mary's Song
Graverobber
King's Ransom
Fool's Gold
First Love
Open Book
Prayer
Just Reach Out
No Doubt
Lovely Lord

This Means War
Hit You Where You Live
I am on the Rock
Sight Unseen

They all rock pretty good I think
