Songs by Larry Norman

Hi,

I am kind of new to Larry Norman. Until now I've listened to Keith Green and to some extent Rich Mullins. I am thinking of giving a try to Larry Norman...

I have heard of much positive comments about Larry in this forum.

I live in a part of world, where any reference to divorce questions the integrity of the person. I read that Larry had two divorces, also his first marriage being not in good spirit. What made him different in spite of all this?

I would be happy to know his best Christian albums as well as inputs on the kind of life he lived that made him different.

Thanks!

I will not write about the ins and outs of Larry's personal life. He was a very conflicted man with many personal struggles and failures... and yet, by God's grace He used Larry to speak to many many people. Much like David... an adulterer and murderer who wrote the most beautiful poetry about God in the Book of Psalms. Larry's music was filled with honest emotions of a man who struggled, and I think that is why his music was so appealing. No bubble gum, no "Kum-by-ya"... it was more like "I hurt, God"... and Larry also pointed a finger at the church and cried "hypocrite" when no one else would.

Larry was not a pastor, was not a "minister"... he was a song writer. As such, even tho he was divorced, I think he had a legitimate voice.

There are seven "best of" CD's available on his website. Agitator is a pretty gone one to start with. Also, there was the "Trilogy" of 3 albums... you can read more about those on his website as well.
