They've sold millions of albums, recorded in three decades and Petra's latest release shows that old age hasn't mellowed them! The secret? A regular influx of new blood. Founder member Bob Hartman is no longer in the live line up of the band but 'No Doubt' shows that his successor David Lichens knows how to make a joyful noise unto the Lord on his guitar! Hartman continues to write the songs and as usual these are songs that inspire faith and leave you with no doubt that Petra want to sing and shout the gospel. Anthemic rockers that will clear the ear wax or rock ballads that will touch your hearts, like its two predecessors, this album delivers both. With John and Dino Elefante once more producing you know it's a state of the art sound. Not a major leap forward for the band, more a continuation of a successful formula. But then, you weren't expecting Petra to join the ranks of sanctified dance were you?
