5.0 out of 5 stars Rich Mullin's Masterpiece, April 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Never Picture Perfect (Audio CD)

Nowhere in his legacy is there a more perfect example of the humility and power of Rich Mullin's songwriting. The subjects range from simple family life to larger issues of politics and war. Rich never fell into the trap being too dogmatic though...even when he takes on the world's governments in "While The Nations Rage" or when he lays bare his own and our shortcomings in "My One Thing."

Beautifully produced by Reed Arvin, this CD is akin to having a modern day book of Proverbs to pop in the player and listen to the wisdom of a man who loved God.

5.0 out of 5 stars as good as any of them, April 16, 2002

Cry the Name (this temple of silence and stars) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Picture Perfect (Audio CD)

Rich Mullins' music grew out of a heart that earnestly sought to be God's. Rich saw them largely as Christian entertainment. Yet as Jesus said, we know a tree by its fruit--and much fruit has come from the music of this remarkable man. Never Picture Perfect contains some of Rich's greatest songs. "First Family" was a song Rich wrote for his Mom and Dad on their anniversary. If it does not move you, nothing will. "The Love of God" is possibly the greatest song Rich ever wrote. "Somewhere" and "Bound to Come Some Trouble" are also up there in the pantheon of Rich's songs. Rich Mullins made some remarkable CDs in his time. Never Picture Perfect is as good as any of them. The greatest thing I can think to say about Rich or this disc is that he, like his parents, "worked to give faith hands and feet--and somehow gave it wings."

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the bunch., August 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Never Picture Perfect (Audio CD)

This is my ultimate favorite of all my Christian albums. You never tire of the songs. They are rich in melody, and the lyrics are honest. I think this CD is a great way to remember a great artist who lived as he preached. I can say this because I went to his concert in Northern California, and saw first hand the humbleness of this praise leader. This CD will move you to tears and inspire you in times of sadness. Get it, it's so worth it.
