Title: Swiftly moves to fill a poetic gap left by Rich Mullins
Review: Past The Edges is a wonderful offering of praise and wonderment. Chris is able to take what might otherwise seem beyond our own capabilities to express and turns those feelings and wonderings into downright profound thoughts. I've listened to this CD many, many times and still find phrases and music that make me sit up and take notice. Rice has spent his life ministering to young people all over the US, and conveying the essence of the Good News. While he is still fairly new to the music industry, he is, by no means, new to the creative ability to put his love for Jesus, and God's love for all of us, into musical poetry. 1997 was the year Christians everywhere mourned the loss of contempory Christian music's poet laureate, Rich Mullins. In this listener's humble opinion, Chris Rice is showing the unique ability to step up to the microphone and begin to fill the void.
