Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Is anyone else a little bit bothered by the title phrase "Finding Eternal Truth in Unlikely Music." Stockman in obviously aware of the shallow, pat-your-own-back CCM machine, but what is the need for this title? Lauryn Hill's music an unlikely place to find truth? Hardly. While I understand Stockman's goal to make this "Unlikely Music" the standard-bearer for hopeful Christ-followers, why encourage this sort of language? It certainly doesn't help when trying to reccomend the book to those who have nothing to do with faithful discipleship. I'm guessing the publisher slapped this little subtitle on in order to make it more "marketable," but I think it's more than a little self-defeating.

Steve Stockman essays the music of 13 artists who have never made any Christian profession but whose work is undergirded with issues, questions and solutions that seem to be very much biblical. From The Beatles to Springsteen, Marley to Radiohead, there is biting spiritual insight and challenge between the lines. Could God be speaking in these unlikely places? Are we listening?
