No question here. Just Reach Out takes the spot. This song ministered to me so much during some of the worst times of my life, and it will always hold a place in my heart.

Yep, I'm gonna have to say "Just Reach Out!" aswell.  That was an incredible song on so many levels and although it was a ballad it packed a punch.

(not to anyone else, but to me an...) Interesting footnote on this album...

The first christian rock album I heard was "Not Of This World" in about 1987, then in 1993/4 my friends girlfriend had Wake Up Call, and said "They're a lot heavier now".  At the time I was in to Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper and Guns N Roses, so I thought I'd give Wake Up Call a go.  I remember thinking it sounded like good rock, and I ended up buying the album.  I later found out that it wasn't as good as many of their past albums and so I started to buy other Christian albums (Whitecross, Bride etc.) and so it began!  And it was all down to Wake Up Call!!!!

Even though there were a couple songs on this album that I just didn't dig, there were a few that I really liked (Midnight Oil, Sleeping Giant) but hands down my favorite is "Just Reach Out"

LOVE this album! Went with "Midnight Oil", but could have easily gone with 3 or 4 others.

This is the album that led me to start falling out of love with Petra.  I went with Underneath the Blood.

Another of the trilogy of perfect Petra albums to me!  This one was a bit more stripped down, but it's still a strong project.  It's a great rock album and I love every song.  I will have to pick the opening song for a favorite, though.

midnight oil....


I was disappointed at the time that it was stripped down so much.... quite a downturn from their prior 'metalized material'...   I hadn't listened to it in quite a long time, but found a cd a local thrift shop a year or two ago and I really enjoy it now....

I was also a bit letdown that they abandoned the huge 80s sound with this record, but after I got over that, I realized just how great a rock album this was. The songs are very similar to the albums that preceded it, but the production was totally different.

Yeah, I listened to it yesterday accidentally after Unseen Power.  I only caught it because there was something that sounded a little different from the tracks ahead of it.  I think it is possible that at the time this album came out my musical tastes were moving toward more hardcore punk and extreme metal.  I will agree that it does sound better than I remember it.

The only song I remember hearing is Sleeping Giant.  By this time in my life I wasn't paying much attention to who was releasing what.
