Wake-Up Call Review

Petra was one of those nostalgic 80's Christain groups who took their message and their music/ministry very seriously, and rightly so! Much like the Christain group "Stryper" many of Petra's songs are passionate and these songs hunger for a closer (non-superficial) relationship with Jesus Christ.

"Wake Up Call" in my opinion, was one of Petra's best albums.
Songs like "Praying Man", "Sleeping Giant", "Believer In Deed" pack so much Holy Ghost anointing and fervor they will rock you outta your seat! These songs are really intended for the church as a reminder to wake up and stand firm in your calling in Christ, a true "no compromise" message.

My personal favorite: "Just Reach Out" at the end of the album is a beautiful ballad. I believe this song is intended to bring comfort and solace to a hurting and brokenhearted world (through the message of Christ). This song's message and music truly reflect the inner peace that we can experience as a natural result of "reaching out" to Him in our time of need. It's magnificent!

If you enjoy Christain rock, you won't wanna miss this album, the music is rockin' and the message is timeless!
