Okay this album is not Steven Curtis Chapman's best effort, but it's still got some good stuff. The title track especially and "King of the Jungle" is a nice catchy tune. Other highlights are "Treasure of You" and "Remember Your Chains". This album will always have a sentimental attachment for me because it is the first Christian CD I ever bought.

This album is the pinnacle in DC Talk' career. This is the album where they really found their true sound. The early pure rap stuff was kinda cheesy, then they started blending the rock in a little with "Free at Last", but then everything came together and just clicked with "Jesus Freak". It set the new standard for Christian Rock. This album along with Steven Curtis Chapman's "Speechless" were huge impacts on me in my journey towards Christ. The song "In The Light" felt like it was written about me, and "What If I Stumble" is still one of my all time favorite songs. I also have trouble even listening to "Day By Day" on the "Godspell" cast recording because I like DC Talk's version so much better.

Yes this is a mainstream rock album, and does have a lot of cookie cutter rock songs on it, but it is a good rock album with good cookie cutter rock songs. I'm not one who subscribes to the notion that as a Christian I should only listen to Christian music. If the music is good I'll listen to it. For those that question Daughtry's faith, while he doesn't outwardly put it into his lyrics, this is quote from the first line of the thank you's in the liner notes of the CD: "First off, I'd like to thank God for the gift of music and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for being the greatest example of LOVE I know."
P.S. "Home" was not written about being voted off American Idol, he wrote "Home" before he ever went on the show.
