Amy Grant said it best about Christian artists, "God is good, and you're just one of his messy followers telling everyone how good he is." Her words are profound and sums up the message of The Jesus Music. This documentary is excellent and a must see! It takes us back to the beginning of Christian Rock with bands like Stryper, Petra, and how their music was shunned by the church and called Devil music; The Jesus Movement introducing drums and electric guitar into worship..., and the growth of artists like Amy Grant and Sandi Patty, Toby Mac with their real-life struggles, and how the music industry turned their backs on them. I was deeply moved when Michael W Smith was inspired to bring worship back to Christian contemporary music and brought us the incredible Worship album. This documentary was great on many levels and brought me to tears several times. The interviews were inspiring and honest, and I was reminded how powerful music is to God and the kingdom of heaven. Watch this and your heart will be stirred.
