Speechless by Steven Curtis Chapman

Pros: "Dive" "With Hope"
Cons: "Next 5 Minutes," "The Invitation," "What I Really Want to Say"

I became a Steven Curtis Chapman fan in the early 90's and bought each of his discs as soon as it came out.  The only exception to that was Signs of Life.  I didn't buy it until it had been out for five years or so.  To this day, I ...

Pros: Sonically sharp and somewhat diverse songs with challenging, meaningful Christian lyrics.
Cons: Steven is still trapped between two audiences, and not sure which to cater to.

A friend of mine told me recently that I had to write something about Steven Curtis Chapman. Being a fairly frequent contributor to the Gospel music section of this site, I had to get around to S-C-squared eventually, right? You've got to...

Pros: Inspirational Lyrics, Great Guitar Leads, Wholesome Wording

Singer,songwriter musician Chapman puts together a total package with this one.

Most of the songs here are like much of his other stuff,if you are a fan of his then you'll appreciate that.If you are not used his other works then I might...

Pros: SCC fans will be glad to hear this album.
Cons: There are still bits and pieces of Signs of Life in this one

I remember sitting in my buddies car (being a scrub I guess), he wanted to play a CD he was borrowing and get my opinion. Once he played it, btw, he had max volume on the stero, I screamed for pain. After the numbness subsided, (and after reducing...

Greetings,
How does he do it? Steven wrote or co-wrote every single song on this album! What talent! Plus he excellently delivers the powerful lyrics through solid vocals and beautiful music. Thank you Lord for blessing Steven in...

Pros: Wonderfully made....
Cons: I'm glad I didn't find any.

Desperately needing revived from a spiritual slump, I walked into a Christian Light Bookstore and asked the clerk if any new CD's had come in. The clerk enthusiastically walked me over to the "new arrival" section and eagerly suggested...

Pros: Songs are uplifting and excite and encourage you in your walk with God.
Cons: One of the songs though good in message isn't as enjoyable to me for listening

I bought this record because of knowing Steven Curtis Chapman's music. I am never disappointed with his music and this is no different. From the first song, "Dive" I was captivated. It gave me such an excitement for the Lord just listening to it. The...

Pros: Steven is at the peak of his career. His vocal is optimum.
Cons: It didn't come soon enough :)

After having purchased every album in his discography, I realized that Steven's older work is a far cry from his latest offering of the gospel. I've always enjoyed his ministry. His writing is filled with scripture. He delivers a powerful message in...

Pros: Excellent alternative to rock music!
Cons: none

I am one of the people at our church who sing and we are always looking for new songs to use. One of our teens brought this to first the choir director (who approved wholeheartedly) and then to me to see if I would sing it with her. The lyrics in Dive...

Pros: Made me a Stephen Curtis Chapman fan.
Cons: Has a couple of corny moments.

In the past I really haven't been a Chapman fan. I have found his songs too corny and geared more toward the older generations. However, this album has shown that Chapman has finally begun to reach out to the younger crowd. I really enjoy the title...

Pros: Inspiring, uplifting, and what a beat! It Rocks!
Cons: some people think traditional "gospel" and turn away

Do you ever have a feeling someone is trying to tell you something?
I'm not going to get preachy on you, but in this
case I am referring to god (trying to tell me something).

I found myself once again flipping channels on the TV one...

Pros: What an artist and what an album.
Cons: It ends.

Steven Curtis Chapman—Speechless
Encouraging all of us to not just hear the message but to live it out in our lives. This one is “The Change”.
All who truly love the Lord are doing this very thing, experiencing a change, THE Change.

Pros: Powerful upbeat tunes
Cons: Slower songs all sound alike

I have followed Steven Curtis Chapman for many years now and with each album I become a greater fan. His album SPEECHLESS shows even another side of this artist. It shows a more "alternative acoustic" side as well as ballads that come straight...
