Listening to Ryan Stevenson's new album is like reading the book of Proverbs. Filled with lots of memorable lines of wisdom and truth, these songs are going to be make it into sermons and books in time. Who would not be arrested with lines such as: """"But You come in between the stone throwers and me/You say I'm worth redeeming"""" or """"The shadow's never overcome the light"""" or """"Seems a little crazy to say/But I'm thankful everything didn't go my way""""? When a song like """"When We Fall Apart"""" opens with """"You were 43 when you got the news. . . """" You can't help but be drawn into the song's narrative. In a milieu where songwriters pander upon the trite and the pedantic, these songs are a breath of fresh air. \\n\\nStevenson doesn't just sing; rather, he creates stories and realities, where he invites us to step in so that we can experience God's love and joy in fresh and engaging ways. This explains why Stevenson is currently one of the hottest artists at CCM radio. He is releasing this new record with 5 top 10 hits and a #1 smash """"Eye of the Storm"""" under his belt.
