If you read my Album Of The Day posts often, you know I'm a big fan of Rich Mullins by now. He wrote great songs that talked about life's struggles but also found lots of solace and joy in Jesus. Released 36 years ago yesterday, this is Rich's fourth studio album and it includes a bit of his humorous side along with his normal Christian pop. "Alrightokuhhuhamen" is a funny way to encourage us to remember to listen when God is calling us to do something. "Hope To Carry On" was a song I first heard on WOW 1998 when it was covered by Caedmon's Call and is an all-time favorite song, even better when it's got the short "I Will Sing" right before it. "Higher Education And The Book Of Love" decides to condemn our Educational institutions because they are anti-God or something, and I don't know if I fully agree with that, but it's certainly a hot take that I didn't really expect from Rich. But wow, I love the rest of the B side of this album; "Bound To Come Some Trouble", "My One Thing" and "Somewhere" are all great, and with "The Love Of God" right in the middle, it's just a great lineup. This is only just over 37 minutes, but it's a great album of late '80s Christian music.
