Lets face it. Some really great contemporary praise and worship music has come out in the last few years. But as good as its been, there just hasnt been much you could give to a non-Christian friend specifically as an evangelistic tool.
But now there is. Tied in with the Celebrate Jesus 2000 evangelistic emphasis, B.C. A.D. is an intentionally evangelistic musical praise and worship experience thats unlike
any youve ever heard. Featuring up-and-coming artist Jami Smith and such seasoned, popular pros as Lisa Bevill, Marabeth Jordan, Chris McHugh and Jackie Street, this CD features top-quality sounds that wont leave fans of contemporary Christian music (or even secular contemporary pop, for that matter) disappointed. Ranging from light rock to acoustic ballads, theres a little something for just about any listener.
But better yet, the songs take listeners through a step-by-step presentation of the gospel, starting with our need for Christ, as heard in the song "Needy":
I want to know Your heart, Father I want to know You O God, Im so needy, needy
Tracing from our need to Christs provision, and even to the point of thanking God for saving us, listening to B.C. A.D. is a lot like listening to the Four Spiritual Laws with a solid back beat. And for those friends who might never take the time to let you lead them through a tract, the gift of music could be the way to get the message of Christ into their lives.
Perhaps they too might take the message to heart and sing along with the song, "Thank You For Saving Me":
Great is the Lord For we know Your truth Has set us free Youve set Your hope in me
