5.0 out of 5 stars REAL Rock Of Ages, December 10, 2006

This review is from: Praise Collection (Audio CD)

Fans of Petra have been bombarded with countless compilation CDs, the bulk of which were never endorsed nor approved by the band. With "Petra: The Praise Collection," we're not given a compilation, but a repackaging of the two "Petra Praise" albums. That's not a bad thing if you don't have either of these albums in your collection (like myself). Purchased separately, these two albums are basically the same price. Purchased as a collection, you get both albums for a cheaper price. That's a good thing, and the package they come in is designed nicely to boot.

The first album, "Petra Praise-The Rock Cries Out," is one of, if not the heaviest Praise album you'll ever hear. Larnelle Harris, Twila Paris, and all the rest do wonderful jobs, but Petra knows how to properly praise God with good ol' rock n' roll. "I Love The Lord" is one of the heaviest tunes on the album and it opens things up perfectly. It is one of my favorites on this album. Other personal favorites include "Salvation Belongs To Our God," "No Weapon Formed Against Us," and "Hallowed Be Thy Name." The only misfire on this album is the saxophone-punctuated "Friends (All In The Family Of God). It completely throws this glory train off of the tracks. Other than that, however, this is the perfect praise album for any rocker.

"Petra Praise 2-We Need Jesus" is a somewhat toned-down sequel to "The Rock Cries Out." Ironically, my favorite Petra tunes are on this album even though I prefer its predecessor. Petra's take on "Lord, I Lift Your Name On High" is one of the best I've ever heard and is my personal favorite Petra tune. My second favorite from this album is the Bob Hartman penned "The Holiest Name." Other solid tunes include "Ancient Of Days" and "Let Your Voices Rise Like Incense." Overall, this isn't a bad album, it just doesn't quite rise to the crescendo that is "The Rock Cries Out."

Both of these albums are worthy of purchase. If you must by only one of them, however, I'd go with "Petra Praise-The Rock Cries Out." If you enjoy more mellow rock, then "Petra Praise 2-We Need Jesus" should be right up your alley.

This is a definite purchase if you don't own either of these albums.

Petra fans, listen up. If you are a diehard Petra fan like me, then you probably already own the two cd's in this set. They are: 1.)Petra Praise -The rock cries out and 2.) Petra Praise 2- We Need Jesus. I ordered the set thinking they were new compilations, but was disappointed to find it was two of the exact same cd's I already own. I gave this set 5 stars because if you do not own them already, I recommend them.

This most fabulous Christian Rock Band existed for 33 years! Just like our Lord Jesus!:) IF you have actually READ the Bible cover to cover, then you would know the following: the singers were in the front of the ARMY-you would also know that the Spirit of God inhabits (lives in) the praise of His people-(Psalms)

What Petra did was this: They have put the written Word of God, the Bible,

to contemporary music! (In case you did not know this: it is much easier to memorize the Word of GOD (the Bible) when it is in a song!:)Any Christian would be uplifted and inspired to listen to this most wonderful Petra band! I love them and have ordered many of their cd's to send to my family and Christian friends!:) The easiest way to memorize the Bible is by music--and they have done this, and they have done this most excellently!:) With my whole heart, I urge you, if you are REALLY a Christian, to order all of their cds! Do it now, before they are all gone!:)

Hey--if you do not realize what time it is, in God's time--why don't you?
