From their lyrics and their actions you can tell that the Newsboys are sincere about living out their Christian faith. On top of all that they are very entertaining in concert! They tour a lot so check them out if you can (Peter, the former lead singer, and Michael, the new lead singer, both awesome, knock-your-socks-off entertainers.)

Christian Rock began with outreach and evangelism as its' heart and soul. Today, the music is packaged almost exclusively as "Church" worship music, and as the result very few real life themes are ever explored. The Newsboys began their ministry in Australia in much the same way early Christian bands did in the States, with the desire to reach out to non-believers as well as to encourage Christians to reach out to the Lost.

This is a great album from a great group, but for me they represent the passing of the last of the evangelistic bands. The Newsboys were always about sharing the good news, you should check out several of their great earlier albums, but churchy or not, In the Hands of God is one of their most powerful songs ever, as the title track for a very nice album.
