Life Love & Other Mysteries (CD - 1996)

Producers include: Michael Omartian.

LIFE LOVE & OTHER MYSTERIES was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.

Uptempo Christian pop, with well-formed songs and a strong message. These four women wear their religious beliefs on their collective sleeve, and are proud of it. As for their sound, there's a good bit of Wilson Phillips here, as almost every track features layers of vocal harmony. Point Of Grace's appealing style draws from various other mainstream FM pop sources as well. But the pleasant surprise here is in the melodies. Each tune has a strong hook, which, coupled with a genuinely powerful sound, keeps Point Of Grace fresh throughout.

On "That's The Way It's Meant To Be," the group experiments with a more jazzy feel, and suddenly the vocal arrangements start to enter Take 6 territory. But the music ultimately takes a back seat to the message, which is straightforward enough: "You are Lord of life love and other mysteries/I find in You all I ever need to know." minimize
