The Petra Zone

I doubt there's been a concert since 1990 that didn't include Beyond Belief. That gives it a 7-year head start over "Lord, I Lift Your Name...". And I don't think Judas' Kiss or He Came, He Saw were played as consistently either. Of course, Creed may have been up there with BB, as was already mentio...

Forgive me if someone already posted this, but just in case...

Here sample clips from "II Guys from Petra" as they have never sounded before (on their soon-to-be-released new praise album!). Enjoy!

That's also a very good point, Shell. Thanks for adding that. Sometimes we misjudge others, and so we do need to be careful. You might recall that Petra, back in the 70's and early-mid 80's, was accused of being "of the devi". And this came mostly from church leaders who felt that "rock music" was i...

Thanks for linking this, danielaussie. Very cool! One can certainly see, after hearing his testimony, how John's past struggles must surely have fed his obvious passion in his singing over all these years.

Back to the original thread on Lichens... Yes, his music shows that he has talent. So what? Lots of folks have God-given talent. What matters is how one uses that talent. After being a part of Petra, a band with an unmistakable Christian message, it IS disappointing to see/hear that Lichens is emplo...

Sue,
Thank you for your thorough, thoughtful reply. ANd thanks to the others who have posted, as well. This all makes pretty good sense to me. I am considering...
And I do want to say that I, too, appreciate your organizational efforts.

danielaussie, your Petra website is really cool! I really enjoyed the video clips you had - nice going! Other petheads, if you haven't seen it yet, you should check it out:

Sue, can't this be set up as a non-profit? After all, this is a religious ministry, mostly at churches, right? If so, it can be made into a tax deductible gift. More will be willing to give if it can be done this way. And people (i.e., John & Bob) are allowed to be paid for their services out of the...

Well, this might not be what you want to hear, friend, but I would advise AGAINST Petra fans going to the realtor's office just to get a quick peak at their new celebrity salesman. I thought of this when I first learned he was working in such a position. Try to put your hurt feelings aside for a mom...

Where's the best place to get the Farewell DVD? I saw it on Amazon and Ebay (each about $13.00 total with shipping), and also on Petra's website, but more expensive there. I have not seen it yet and would like to own it. Also, is the CITAS video (now released on DVD, but I suppose most of you pethea...

Michael, thanks for taking my comment seriously - I now see the joke! (I am visually impaired, so I don't always notice small details on the screen.)

OK, I am now getting the page to load, but the pic is very washed out, chopped graphically. Anyone else have this experience, or just me?!

Hey, I'm getting a blank when I click the Schlitt picture link above. Is it a faulty link? The other link works fine.
Thanks!

In case some didn't see this, John/Dorla Schlitt will be appearing later this month in studio with James Robison for a TV interview. It's free and all are invited to come support the Schlitts! ---------------------------- Newsletter 08-06-2006 [Spanish] [Portugese] [German] Hello Petheads, Here is a...
