 ThirdDay CD October 15, 2008
I saw ThirdDay for the first time during Labor Day weekend at Tuskahoma, Oklahoma. I love the God of Wonders song.
 Worth whatever you have to pay. September 9, 2008
This is a great worship album. Third day brings their "A" game for these recordings. If you have never seen them live get this album it gives a good taste, and then get tickets to the first show you can get. This is a great ROCKIN WORSHIP album.
well placed December 24, 2007
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.
A Must Have October 24, 2007
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.
Third Day passes the plate October 2, 2007
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.
