Summary: well placed
Comment: I suppose the best evidence of how I view this album would be to confess that I've sat here through the morning with tears on my cheeks as I absorb the potency of its tribute, truly a well-rendered offering.
Third Day, a band of gravelly-voiced, southern-fried rockers in alignment with their Maker offer up a slough of worships songs possessed of an edgy sweetness.
Easily the pick of the litter is a stunning live rendition of the late Rich Mullins' 'I Believe'. This rocked-up rendition of the historic Apostle's Creed gets its spiritual credibility from the anti-mood-of-the-moment refrain:
And I believe what I believe in
is what makes me what I am.
And I did not make it,
no it is making me
It is the very truth of God
and not the invention of any man.
When I played this song for a group of colleagues in the Middle East recently, one greatly appreciated friend found it repugnant because the performers were 'up there shouting about sacred things'. I beg to differ. Apostolic clarity is only seldom so poignantly spoken and, in my view, with so little self-absorption.
THIRD DAY's formula is a rock-the-basement bass line with strong acoustic and electric guitars and dependable drumming, all fronted by the inimitable Mac Powell on vocals. Powell has one of those voices that conjures up a full-grown man-baby being born ready and willing to sing from Day One.
It was probably not like this. Perhaps he only began his ragged crooning on the third day.
What this middle-aged reviewer, who perhaps knows enough of both cynicism and hope to offer an opinion, is the wonder of these men turning their talents to praise, to the crafting of an offering.
As they sing, in one of these unforgettable tracks, others have offered more but his is all I have.
Indeed.
It sounds good to hear them place it in just that way.

Summary: A Must Have
Comment: Offerings II is an amazing worship album. It is full of powerful praise and worship songs.
There are so many great songs on this album that it is hard to pick out favorites. Certainly 'Show Me Your Glory' and 'God of Wonders' are amazing. Beyond those, there are several other tracks that are outstanding. Mac Powell's distinct voice, the instrumental talent of the band, and the worshipful lyrics are a powerful combination.
This is a must have CD for anyone who likes worship music and/or Christian rock.

Summary: Third Day passes the plate
Comment: Third Day has outdone themselves with a moving follow-up to their first worship album, Offerings. Offerings II is anything but redundant, pushing the listener even further into the presence of God. Those who are familiar with the band's music will find their expectations exceeded with this project. For those not familiar with Third Day, these two worship projects are an excellent place to start. These guys truly have given all they have to give.

Summary: A sweet album of praise
Comment: At first, I was a little disappointed with this album, I'll admit...because I was expecting some great rock songs that I could belt out (way off-key!) in my car. But after giving it another chance without any expectations, I realized that the songs are beautiful, catchy, very well-written, and fill you up with good feelings and inspiration. My favorites are "I want to sing a song" and "Offering". If you like Third Day's "Wire" CD, then purchase this with an open mind. You will still love it, but for different reasons. :-)

Summary: Be prepared to be addicted.
Comment: I got this CD to become more familiar with some of the songs before seeing them at Autumn Blaze. I cannot stop playing this CD. It helps with road rage! :) How can you yell and curse someone when you're singing, "I want to sing a song for you Lord?" I haven't been much of a shower singer until this CD, now just listening to it isn't enough, I'm singing all the songs in the shower too. I love this CD! I love this band!
