| Jackson, Tenn. -
Christian musician Michael Card will be in concert at
51ÉçÇø, Monday, April 19 at 10 a.m. in the G.M.
Savage Memorial Chapel of the Penick Academic Complex. Born
in Nashville, Card grew up in a musical family and began
to master the guitar and piano. While attending college,
Card developed a close relationship with Bible scholar
William Lane who enlisted him to write songs for weekly
sermons.
Today Card's music still reflects a sermon-based
inspiration. His latest musical release, "Unveiled
Hope," is a musical journey inspired from the book
of Revelation. He has worked on projects that explore
biblical literature, such as the Pauline mission, trilogy
on the writings of the Old Testament and the life of
Christ.
His most famous song, "El Shaddai," won Card
a Dove Award for Song of the Year and Songwriter of the
Year in 1993. In 1984 Card signed with Sparrow Records
and immediately launched his career in professional
Christian contemporary music.
In addition to his musical endeavors, Card is also an
accomplished author with four books to his credit. Though
he envisions a day when he may try his hand at other
forms of ministry, Card is confident he will always
remain connected to the joys of music. "I think I'll
always have something to say," he said.
The concert is free. For more information, call Campus
Ministries at (901) 661-5062.
