Search - Michael Card :: Unveiled Hope

The essence of Revelation - no foolish speculations

""Unveiled Hope" is an impressive musical project that spurs those who love Him onto faith and hope and does not seek to gratify the vain curiousity of days and times, so rampant in today's Christian sub-culture (and overflowing to American culture at large). Card sticks extremely close to the text of the book, organizing the album after the book's own structure and hugging close to the actual words at every turn. The result is an album that is not only an excellent antidote to the current apocalyptic fortune-telling and vain imaginings, but a booster to those who hate the world but see its overweening greed, lusts, and pride striving and winning against Truth and Light. Because this is the point of Revelation -- our Hope will be unveiled and He will win; in the meantime, as John says, "this calls for patient endurance and perseverance on the part of the saints".Card crafts his songs with skill and care; there's nothing here that's blazingly original musically, nevertheless, the tunes are high quality fare, notably the gospelish "You are Worthy", the tender "New Jerusalem", and "Fallen is Babylon" which strikes exactly the right tone of tragedy and justice.Highly recommended - one of my top 20 favorite albums - a blessing to me and hopefully to you too."

Does it again

"If you like Michael Card, you will also like this album. I loved it from the first listening. The songs are biblically based and also musically insteresting. With the start of each song, I think, "Oh, this is my favorite on the album," but then find I was wrong: the next one is! It is great listening and meditating or reflecting music. I especially like listening on headphones; somehow it makes it more special. And, hey, if you EVER get the chance to see Micheal Card in person/in concert, don't miss it. Your life will be changed because of him."

"I hope Michael Card checks these reviews for his album "The Unveiling" was heard during our wedding in 1998.
"Prelude" from that same album has lifted my spirit and I normally dance in the Spirit of God by way of this highly anointed song - thank you Michael it has been a tremendous blessing.
