AMG Review of Mission 3:16

Marc Castellani
All Music Guide

Carman's eclecticism is apparent again. His showpiece on this album is a song based on spy movies. This becomes the basis for a number of pieces. Included are numbers meant to be singalongs (the righteous "People of God" and "Jesus Is the Lamb"), a reworking of the Lord's Prayer ("The Prayer Anthem"), and "I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel" ("We Are Not Ashamed"). The strongest song on the album is the ballad "Never Be."
