Alive Again [CD] - Bring people closer to Christ"John Eldridge said, 'you can sum up the Bible in two words: come closer.' That's what I hope these songs do... bring people closer to Christ"-Matt MaherTops his breakout release Empty and BeautifulDidn't think Matt could top his breakout release Empty and Beautiful? Think again. The widely anticipated Alive Again does just that-encapsulating the trademark charisma and penetrating spirit of his live events. Speaks to who Matt is as a worship leader, singer and songwriterAccording to Matt, the album has a certain "rawness" that speaks to who he is and how he communicates as a worship leader, singer and songwriter. The title track re-creates the moment God reached in and grabbed his heart for the very first time. Refreshing praise and worship songs "No Greater Love," "Sing Over Your Children" and "Christ Has Risen" beam with Matt's signature joyful lyrics. "Garden" puts a compassionate close to a record you'll immediately want to enjoy with another listen.With a little help from his friendsEvery single one of the 12 songs on Alive Again was co-written. SESAC's 2008 Christian songwriter of the year Jason Ingram, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, up-and-coming writer/vocalist Audrey Assad, Mark Byrd and Mia Fields all lent their creative talents to a project Matt describes as a "communal experience." Soundtrack for both personal prayer and Sunday worshipProduced by Christopher Stevens (Delirious?, tobyMac) and Paul Moak (Matt Kearny, CompassionArt), the album is both immediate and soulful. Matt's addictive organic-pop sound melded with vulnerable and engaging lyrics make Alive Again a soundtrack for believers in both personal times of prayer as well as communal Sunday worship.Tracks: Alive Again | Shout Of The King | Sing Over Your Children | Hold Us Together | No Greater Love | Love Comes Down | Flesh And Bone | Remembrance | Letting Go | Your Were On The Cross | Christ Has Ris Review: All Great Songs - I originally listened to this CD way back when I heard "Christ is Risen" for the first time. To my surprise, I ended up loving the whole CD, and every song has a good message behind it. I can't get enough of "You Were on the Cross" as it just has a great message that God's proclamation of His love is always there for us to see on the Cross. Matt Maher has become a top line Christian artist for me after this. Review: Pleasantly Surprised! - The more I listen to the CD, the more I like it! I bought the CD because of the title song, but the other songs are great as well - excellent words with deep meanings. It has been a thought provoking CD. I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I bought it, but am very pleased. If you are looking for music that is peppy, this isn't necessarily it, but it is not solemn either, somewhere in the middle.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!
I can't say enough good things about this album. It starts off great with "Alive Again" and finishes sweet with "The Garden." Everything in between is great to listen to. I do skip some songs every now and then if I'm not in the "mood" for them, but for the most part I love to listen to this all the way through. My favorite song is "Christ is Risen." It's a great album, I have bought several for my family and friends, and will continue to do so!

This album is awesome
I haven't been introduced to a Christian artist that I immediately liked so much in a long time. I was given a burned copy of this CD and liked it so much that I bought a real copy for myself, plus two copies for my mom and mom in law. Great praise and worship, great for subduing road rage. Keep it on repeat in the car.

Worship & Praise
This artist continues to evolve musically and lyrically. I saw him perform on Jars Of Clay's 'Shelter' tour in April 2011 and he was excellent. 'Flesh And Bone' is my favorite on this album. 'Communion' is about its title, and is worth playing during your communion service.The first half of the album is upbeat, the second half is slow and deep. Very good choice.

First Time Buyer, Long Time Admirer
I've always loved Matt Maher's writing style and mostly just his personality. But this album has made me love him as a musician and worship leader. This is an amazing CD and if you're wanting a simple, modern CCM album without all the techno-rock frills, this is the album for you. This CD will be on shuffle-repeat for a while.

Life-breathing music..!
Here's an artist that surprised me after I listened to his music one day on a radio. His songs grabbed so much that I decided to buy his album. Here's what I call inspired Christ-centered songwriting with very nice and professional arrangements. My favorite tracks are "Love comes down" and the powerful life-breathing "Christ is risen". But all the songs on this album are very nice. And that's what makes this album very personal if you wanna know who Matt Maher is and why he sings what he sings. What was surprising to me is the fact that his songs sound so evangelical and Bible-centered that I would've never guessed he was a roman catholic! I do hope to listen to other Catholic artists with same Christ-centered music and faithfulness to the biblical truths. I higly recommend this album to everyone. Why 4 and not 5 stars? Because perfection doesn't abide this world ;-)

One of those albums you want to listen to VERY LOUDLY!
I knew of Matt Maher as an artist only some due to the song "Christ is Risen" and then "I Need You". The latter became a song I would listen to over and over again during some painful times. Then, as life circumstances took me to a place where I spent many, many hours seeking the Lord through prayer, worship and quiet time I ended up finding this album and have listened to, and been ministered by, the songs on it in so many ways and so many times.

Cet album est une très belle réalisation musicale, une louange agréable et un témoignage de joie. Matt Maher nous fait entrer dans l'espérance, celle de camper dans la douce présence du Seigneur. Un album comblé de bénédictions et d'actions de grâce pour la plus grande joie de l'âme et du coeur...
