5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, simple, accessible, March 15, 2003

I first heard Bebo Norman during last year's Third Day tour; I ordered two of his CDs the day after the concert. This recording remains my favorite, for its richness and its diversity and its marvelous "listenability".

Friends of mine who are fond of CCM often criticize Bebo for what they regard as the simplicity of his lyrics; compared to those of Jennifer Knapp or a Caedmon's Call, the words to a Bebo song are straightforward. But on clever and powerful songs like the sublime "The Hammer Holds", Bebo crafts a simple, tuneful, and deeply resonant meditation on God's sovereignty through the story of a nail that will, in due course, pierce the side of Christ. I saw many tears being wiped away when Bebo sang that live in Los Angeles a year ago; I have wiped away a few of my own while listening to that particular track.

As I went through my recent and painful divorce, this was the CD that brought me the most reassurance. In particular, the lovely "Where the Angels Sleep" and the humble "In Your Hands" brought me tremendous comfort. Perhaps these are not the most sophisticated songs I could have been listening to, but in a time of great spiritual and emotional pain we tend to seek out the familiar, the comforting, and the beautiful. This CD has become all three of these for me, and I will continue to treasure it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just close your eyes!, December 23, 1999

As with Bebo's first album, this one is no different aside from having a little more studio feel. I say close your eyes while listening to such songs as "A page is turned", or "A hammer holds". These two songs among all the rest touched me tremendously with the heartfelt lirics, as well as the incredible guitar and vocals. If you've ever wanted to see the love of Christ in a completely different prespective, listen to "A hammer holds". The incredible lirics of all twelve songs are like no other I've ever seen. Bebo is an artist who is still in touch with his fans and his art. He's the first to shake your hand, and has a genuine heart for God. I would recommend this album as well as Fabric of Verse to anyone who is looking to find Christian music that will do more than just make you feel happy. It's by far one of the best albums I have right now.

I was introduced to Bebo Norman's music only a short time ago and the style and passion really do take your breath away. Here is a singer whose every words carve themselves onto your heart. They are unforgetable, they are genuine and they are stunning. His voice is soulful and gentle, with an incredible power that leaves you captivated. HIs words are poetic, and honest, and his music etches itself deep into your soul. You know, when you listen to him, that he really lives and breathes the love of the Lord God.

Quite stunning.
