I am a bit of a connoisseur of contemporary Christian music. It gets a bad rap by many, and I admit that it isn't the most refined form of art, but then again the Gospels were written in a fairly simple form of Greek, which was initally a turn-off for even St. Augustine as a young man! Like a lot of things, Christian music is more about its substance than its style. However, I do think there are some excellent Christian songs out there. Check out a few below and see what you think. I also recommend Air1, which you can stream on your computer or find on your local radio station. Here's their website:
