This five song worship album presents faith lifting, singable, artistic songs. I would love to hear more! I am hopeful that more faith communities will create original songs (and other art) for use in worship and share the best of their artistic endeavors with the rest of us.

In this first EP, DeDe expresses heartfelt songs of worship that birthed out these organic, simple gatherings of the saints. Her lyrics are strong and thought-provoking. It was easy to listen to this CD. Be sure to keep an eye out for this female artist in the future. “Christ in Y’all” CD by DeDe, a young woman who participates in the same gatherings as Neil Carter.

The attitude of "come closer....you're still not close enough..." is evident throughout the lovely melodies. I think this would be an awesome background track to a wedding. That's not me being chintzy. I know if I heard something so lovely I'd be asking...."Where can I find this beautiful music?" Good job, Dede.

They lyrics are beautiful and one of the things I like about the songs are that they are easy to sing along with. They could very well be used in a church praise service and anyone could sing along.

Each song is built around a chorus which seems meant to be sung in worship as mindless repetition. Dede’s voice is nice, yet her lyrics are recycled from every other generic worship song on the market. I’m not quite sure the reason for sending Carter’s book with this CD, other than this being a way to quickly get rid of a bad CD.

Dede has an easy to listen to voice. Not too high like so many. "No Place" has an anthem feel which I really like. "From the Fields of Boaz" was a bit slow but did move you to reflect on this great story. "So Wonderful" attempts to be a great anthem but doesn't quite get there. I did find this song growing on me after a while, however. "My Everything" is a quiet ballad that is peaceful and easy to listen to. Great voice. "Consummation" was my favorite. Great melody and lyrics. Neil Carter writes an impassioned plea to church leaders and followers in Christ in Ya'll. Christ in Ya'll I have to admit, I had to get past that title. It's terrible even after I hear why he chose it. But it is memorable and makes his point well. And I'm from SC... That said, his point is worth making. Quoting the Bible, Neil tells us that the Greek word for "You" in the verse "Christ in you...hope of glory" is plural. Why is this significant? The answer makes Neil's point beautifully. The verse more appropriately reads, "Christ in ya'll" , or, my preference, "Christ in you all." His point is that the Christian life and the Kingdom of God are designed to be lived out in community. With this I wholeheartedly agree. My issues come with his challenging church life today. Not that I disagree with him as much as his method. At times he comes out strong and at others he just hints at it. I found myself wanting more concrete examples. Even more, I wanted more Scripture or history to help support his point. At times it felt like he was making a lot of charges without really justifying them beyond his own personal experience (which I felt was lacking as well in the book). Nevertheless, Neil made me think and challenged me on a number of levels. He really helped me think through how we do church services as a scripted, controlled affair instead of a Spirit-led experience. Right on there! In the end, I recommend reading this if you're wrestling with how we do church. If you're seeking to become more Christ-centered and Holy Spirit driven in your methods, give this book a read. But I'd love to see more of his bibliography and I'd love to see a broader source of references than Frank Viola and a few others. For Dede: In the Fields of Boaz

“My Everything” is a quiet ballad that is peaceful and easy to listen to. Great voice.

“Consummation” was my favorite. Great melody and lyrics.

Neil Carter writes an impassioned plea to church leaders and followers in Christ in Ya’ll.

Christ in Ya’ll

I have to admit, I had to get past that title. It’s terrible even after I hear why he chose it. But it is memorable and makes his point well. And I’m from SC…

That said, his point is worth making. Quoting the Bible, Neil tells us that the Greek word for “You” in the verse “Christ in you…hope of glory” is plural. Why is this significant?

I kept waiting for everything to come together at the end but it never did for me. In the introduction, Carter states that the purpose of his book is to explain how he ended up having church "in a living room with 25 people, among whom [he has] no special place", despite the fact that he is a seminary graduate. Carter uses statistics to support the fact that many Christians are looking to get away from the traditional church model, and he gives five reasons why it may be happening to so many individuals. He lists that the church is becoming too impersonal, members are becoming burned out, boredom with ritual is becoming the norm, abuse from other church members will always hurt, and selfish apathy has overtaken any kind of social consciousness. Because of this trend of breaking the tradition, Carter believes there needs to be a rediscovery of the gospel. It boils down to the fact that the "life of faith wasn't designed to be lived out solo." This is a wonderful idea, but I think it could have been said just as succinctly in one or two chapters instead of the 194 pages that Carter uses. It seemed as if every chapter I read was simply more of the same I had been reading throughout the whole book. I felt like at times I was simply wasting my time reading through the same ideas over again. Despite this repetitiveness that I sensed, Carter had some good things to say. Occasionally it sounded as if he was down on any type of church other than a small house church. Near the end of the book, however, he made a statement that I really like: "I don't really think it matters how they meet, where they live, or when they gather. The important thing is that they learn to find Christ as their all, and that they learn to express that in ways that can be seen and heard and touched" (pg. 173). That is very well-said, and I think the book would be much more enjoyable if it could be condensed into a much shorter version. The same good points Carter makes could certainly be made just as well.

I’m not much of a music critic, so this will be brief. The songs seemed to have well-written worshipful lyrics – you got to love a writer that digs into the book of Ruth for images of devotion and commitment. The singing and instrumentation seem to be well-done, though were not exactly my taste, and seemed to be fairly typical of the worship-music genre.

It comes across as a demo CD with five tracks on it. For the most part I enjoyed the CD, but did think that it sounded unpolished. It did feel like it was a good combination to go with the book as most of the songs sounded as if they could be used in an intimate gathering for worship. I primarily enjoyed the message on songs four and five. The CD does have a fairly broad diversity in musical attempts and that is why it sounded somewhat like a demo CD. I would listen to a full CD if one was released, but for the most part, I would recommend it to someone else that was looking for something that had a good message and is something new.

In her debut album “From the Fields of Boaz”, Atlanta native Dede—pronounced dee dee—gives us just such a reminder. Beginning with the toe-tapper “No Place I’d Rather Be”, the listener is offered an introduction to Dede’s warm and naturally tempered tonality, set against a smooth, unassuming groove that will find you hitting the repeat button, likely more than once. The song “So Wonderful” brandishes a powerfully contagious progression along with a pure expression of worship that happily lingers in the heart long after. Throughout the work, is a subtle familiarity in progression that comforts and satisfies the musical mind yet, at times, proffers pleasantly strategic glimpses of the unexpected that refocus attention and spark curiosity. Additionally, There is an underlying sense of motion that connects each of the album’s five tracks to one another in a way that feels like a spiritual road trip. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this album is its honesty. Everything about this album is honest—from the transparent lyrics of the title track to the perfectly clear and complimentary quality of the engineering. Dede is definitely an artist to watch. Her authenticity and love for Jesus permeates every moment of every song. At its core, “From the Fields of Boaz” is an album of worship. There is no mistaking that fact and, after listening to this album more times than I can count, I am fairly certain that you will find your eyebrows raised and probably your hands too. -T.

It has been an amazing read, and very challenging and informative as well. The book is titled “Christ in Y’all” and is written by Neil Carter. Neil is a schoolteacher in the Atlanta area, and is a member of a community church that was originally planted by Gene Edwards. I must tell you that right from the very beginning I was captivated. In the very first chapter, Neil gives the reader a very thorough, yet easy to understand, run down on the basics of the Kingdom gospel – the Good News, if you will. The Good News that is the message that Jesus came to earth to deliver. Freedom for the captives, and a whole new mindset, which requires us to leave everything behind that we know, and enter into a new reality where Jesus is the King and Lord. Neil reminds us that we were made for community. And he also paints us a picture to show the difference in the church as we know it now, with all of the programs, and organization verses the way church was supposed to be – free, organic, and transparent. Neil speaks of the freedom that we can experience when we let our guard down and dare to do church differently, where the Holy Spirit is the head, and the body is released to function as the body. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. -Colossians 3:16 (italics mine) If Paul mentions that we are to teach and admonish one another, obviously he had more in mind than us just coming together and allowing one man to mediate our lessons for the day. When we “do church” as a community, we allow the Holy Spirit to work through each and every person to reveal what is on the heart of the Father, and this is exactly what Neil is suggesting that we do. There is so much good information in this book. If you attend a community church, it would be a good read as there are lots of ideas that will spark new directions and activities for you to do together. If you have never even thought about the idea of community, or the concept is new to you, then I would suggest giving the book a whirl, and asking God to reveal his heart to you. What an amazing book! It has been a very enjoyable read! Here are some links for you to check out as well: http://www.christinyall.com And there is a CD that I aquired from one of the members of Neil’s fellowship named DeDe. She is a singer/songwrited and her CD is an EP titled “From the Fields of Boaz” It is an incredible CD, and you can also listen to her music here: http://www.myspace.com/dedemusic and here: http://www.amcrex.com/music.php dede_cover_smallI am so glad that I get a chance to review this CD!

Let’s start with the CD cover – which I never really pay much attention to, but since I was reviewing the material I thought well be thorough. The quotes immediately caught my attention and I found them unusually moving, prompting me to wonder about the story behind the quotes. Then I turned over the cover and read the back – no small task in my case – and I could read the fine print regarding the copyright where it says “Stealing music is mean.” Cute. I enjoyed listening to the songs, found them soothing. Her voice was crisp and clear, easy to listen to. I found My Everything to be the song I liked the most. Her voice had me remembering other female singers in my past who were a source of great encouragement, especially during my initial years as a Christian. Dede’s sound had the same impact.
