For those like me who are always on the search for new and interesting Christmas music, especially music that centers us on the coming of King Jesus, here is some good stuff for the season you may not be familiar with:
Behold the Lamb of God by Andrew Peterson
This tells the story of the coming of Christ through mostly original songs with an acoustic flavor. You will hear the storyline of the Bible , from the OT to Christ's arrival -given our recent class series this would be a good one. One of the most thoughtful and creative Christmas albums I own.
Advent Songs by Sojourn
This one takes original hymns and puts them to modern arrangements -my favorite is a beautiful, refreshing arrangement of "Joy to the World"
Songs for Christmas by Sufjan Stevens
For those who like simple acoustic arrangements (guitar and banjo) and indie-music (the artsy stuff). A little quirky but it works - very different from anything else I own. Although not marketed as a Christian record, it is surprisingly Christ-centered in the song selection, even including versions of "Amazing Grace" and "Come Thou Fount".
On the Incarnation by Daniel Renstrom
I don't have yet but I keep seeing this new one recommended on the Christian blog sites. See the Amazon reviews.
