The Ministry Years 1977-1979

Omtale:
The faith of Keith Green shines like a city on a hill in every song on these CD's. His short ministry had a profound affect on the world. Almost two decades after his death his music does not sound dated continues to touch me more deeply than any other Christian artist I have heard. His sincerity and openness challenge us all.

In this collection of songs, Keith confronts his own weaknesses in 'Love With Me', 'My Eyes Are Dry', and 'I Don't Wanna Fall Away from You' and challenges the Church in 'Asleep in the Light' and 'To Obey is Better Than Sacrifice'. In many of these songs he expresses deep gratitude to God, especially in 'I Can't Believe It', 'Thank You, Jesus' and 'Because of You'. The over-8-minute-long 'Prodigal Son Suite' is a wonderful telling of the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It features a great orchestral score and showcases Keith's tenor voice. 'Pledge My Head To Heaven' features Bob Dylan on harmonica and reflects Keith's willingness to share in Christ's suffering. Other songs are full of praise, and the call to ministry and missions. This is a great, timeless collection of songs.
