What The Critics Say
He Chose the Nails, a praise and worship experience featuring author and speaker Max Lucado, was recorded live at Oak Hills Church of Christ in San Antonio, TX. The project serves as an accompaniment to Lucado's book by the same name, offering musical elements to highlight and emphasize the text read by Lucado between songs. Beautifully arranged, the album consists of orchestration, intricate acoustic guitar work performed by Wes King, and the backing of Oak Hills Church Choir. Artists include Twila Paris, Kim Hill, and former SonicFlood member Jeff Deyo, with songs ranging from "Thread of Scarlet," which resembles tracks from Cindy Morgan's release The Loving Kind, to "Worthy Is the Lamb," a song true to the classic Twila Paris style. ~ Ashleigh Kittle, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
When Christ Comes follows the typical Max Lucado approach of blending praise and worship songs with readings from his popular books on Scripture -- in this case, the one that shares its title with this CD, which concerns mental and spiritual preparations for the second coming of Jesus. The main focus, though, is on the music, with the inspirational title track sung and co-written by Darlene Zschech. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Subtitled "Songs of Praise, Words of Inspiration for the Christmas Season, " Max Lucado's God Came Near (titled after one of his several books) mixes popular religious Christmas songs with lesser-known tunes and hymns, plus between-song inspirational commentary from Lucado. The project features musical guests Dennis Jernigan, Jeff Nelson, John G. Elliot, and singer Lisa Lopez, as well as a choir, a smaller vocal group, and an all-acoustic Celtic ensemble. The music would have held up just fine on its own, but fans of Lucado's books will be happy to hear more of his insights. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
