In a career that spans 25 years, Michael Card has recorded over 20 albums, authored or co-authored over 14 books, hosted two radio programs, and written for a wide range of magazines. While he has penned such favorites as "El Shaddai," "Love Crucified Arose," and "Emmanuel," he never imagined selling more than 4 million albums or writing over 19 #1 hits. The popularity of his work seemed a stark contrast to his goal in life, to simply, and quietly teach the Bible.
The thing I've come to appreciate most about Michael Card is the way he smartly focuses his work on a single subject. Approaching a Card album is like settling into a devotional from your favorite Christian author. Beyond loosely tying together a collection of songs under a theme, you can rest assured that this 49-year-old veteran will thoroughly expound upon an overall thesis and give the listener something to consider long after the last track has played.
