      Be careful The Life has the same songs as Known by The Scars, Scandilon
      and a third album that constitutes a trilogy.

      If you enjoyed The Life Michael Card has released some albums since
      Present Reality has songs about living the Christian life. His latest
      album called The Beginning is the first in a series of albums on the
      Pentateuch (sp?). The Beginning is a wonderful album because M.C.
      compares the life and person of Christ to Old Testament stories. One
      of my favorites is a song about Abraham offering Isaac, his only son.
      God is not asking Abraham to do anything that He hasn't already done
      by sacrificing His only son for us. I could go on for pages about
      Michael Card,but I will finish by saying that I saw him in concert
      just over a year ago and it was wonderful. He also has an album of  
      lullabies for children called Sleep Sounds in Jesus.
>If any of you know of others Christian musicians who are like him, please post.
      One of my other favorite Christian musicians is Wayne Watson, he has
      a similiar mellow acoustic sound to Michael Card. He has wonderful
      gift for lyrics and melody. I would reccommend his albums Giants in the
      Land, Water Coloured Ponies and Fine Line.
