Editorial Reviews

THE STORY is an unparalleled project from the best-known artists in Christian music. The songs on THE STORY take timeless biblical stories and provide a completely new context into how God's story of love and redemption intersects with our story of brokenness and failures resulting in a new story of hope and rescue. The CD contains 18 all-new songs written by multiple Dove Award-Winners Nichole Nordeman & Bernie Herms, produced by Brown Bannister & Bernie Herms, and a stellar line-up of artists across all major labels. (Music Inspired By) THE STORY is based on a collaboration with authors Randy Frazee (The Heart Of The Story) & Max Lucado (God's Story Your Story) as well as Zondervan's bible The Story.

Additionally, THE STORY Tour commences in December with Max Lucado, Randy Frazee, an all-star musical cast, and stunning multimedia visuals. THE STORY will be an experience you never forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music, but..., October 3, 2011

I have a long standing aversion to what passes for current Christian music. This is mainly due to the apparent obsession with only making records that sound like popular secular bands from 10 years ago.

This record is not that. This is masterful songwriting and brilliant delivery. From the arrangements, to the lyrics, to the choice of artist, Music Inspired by the Story is just that. Inspired. I have recommended it to everyone, much to the shock of my friends.

Simply put, this is really good music. It gives me hope that maybe those making Christian records are beginning to come into their own and just write what moves them instead of what they think might sell.

There is still creativity in the faith. This record proves it.

This is the most amazing music! The great bible stories written in first party songs and sung by top artists. Powerful and touching; encouraging and challenging. If I were stranded on a desert island and could only have one CD, this would be it. If the angels in heaven are learning new songs, this might be them! I know you will be blessed.

I got a tip from one of the artists thru twitter and downloaded to my iPod just moments after Music Inspired by The Story hit iTunes. I am a lyrics person and I was immediately amazed by the songs Nichole Nordeman wrote. They are so insightful and heart reaching. It is like she discovered treasure buried for centuries and the gold shines even brighter now. On top of that, the artists selections are inspired. each artist pours his/her heart out in these songs. I mailed the cd to my daughter and am taking 6 people to The Story Tour this December.

5.0 out of 5 stars I fell in love with this music when I heard "I'm With You" on the radio., September 28, 2011

I heard this great song, "I'm With You", a powerful duet performed by Amy Grant and Nichole Nordeman. I needed to find out more. I discovered to my delight that this song is inspired by the story of Naomi and Ruth. Then, I found out this song comes from an entire CD about Bible stories from headliner Christian Contemporary artists! I have the CD and digital copy and gave a CD to my sister for her birthday!
