Singing his word in church
(Preview)
As a teen-ager Larry Norman was a big influence on me and other christian teens. I remember the lectures from the church elders about the Devils Beat. At one such lecture a friend leaned into me a said. One day we will be singing Larry Norman in church. He was so right! We often sing his words in service and...

You were the first.
(Preview)
Larry, You were the first in Contemporary Christian Music. Your songs never pussyfooted, danced around issues, soft-shoed, or led anyone down a primrose path. You set the standard as to how contemporary gospel ought to sound, and no one made the same statements quite as boldly as you. And they rock...

I know from experience, that there aren't any words for when a loved one passes...except the hope that we will see them again... and the love and presence of friends among us to get us through those times. Larry's music, and a good friend of mine in college, who introduced me to Larry's music...helped g...

Thank you Larry, Enjoy your new freedom!

I was introduced to Larry at a VERY young age (musically speaking). His records were played so much that I practically wore them out listening over and over again. His influence, and Randy Stonehill, formed my love of Christian Music, and rock 'n roll overall. Throughout the decades, his influ...

Just to send my sympathy and prayers to Larry's much extended family. Larry's music changed my christian perspectives - my perspective of christian life and witness, my perspective on a lost world. Larry brought a bit of heaven to earth, and now rests in the Father's care, awaiting that day when w...

What a loss for this world! And what a joy it must be in heaven! I was so lucky to hear Larry in Egersund, Norway the summer 2005. The walls in the church, which was built in has never been chaked in a better way! And the messages in the lyrics were as strong as always. It was memory for life. The 12th of April...

My brother introduced me to Larry's music. One of the first songs I learned after getting saved was "Outlaw". Larry's style was very comfortable for me and I was greatly influenced in my songwriting by Larry's no nonsense lyrics. God's love is simple, to the point and very, very clear. O...

I never met Larry, but was introduced to his music by a good friend back in high school. Thank God that he is no longer suffering, that he is with Jesus and rejoicing. We rejoice also - but with a touch of sadness, for I will truly miss him.

Death of a Hero: Larry Norman Meets the Lord in Person

I do not know how to process this. A hero in my life has died. Others have gone along the way, like Evel Knievel, Walter Payton, but so far, none have impacted me as much as this one man. I awoke this morning to read a post response that Larry is now with God. I am sad he has left this planet, but, after all, he wa...

Sincere condolences to Larry's family and friends

It is with great sadness that I learned of Larry's death. I have been to most of his concerts in Northern Ireland since the 70's. His music and words were unique and inspirational and he had a special gift of reaching out to everyone, even non-christians. Larry loved performing in Northern Ireland...

Only visiting Cleveland

During the early 90's we brought Larry to Cleveland three times for concerts. We would mail out postcards to people on Larry's mailing list and fans from eight states would drive in for the concerts. That's how much Larry's fans loved him. After the show Larry would always hangout at Perkins with fans...

My first Christian Rock album was Larry's "Upon This Rock." The lyrics and music spoke for me. I was raised in a "traditional" Christian home. Larry encouraged me to follow Jesus in an unconventional way - to be a radical follower of Jesus. "I Wish We'd All Been Ready"...

The Night We Sang Larry at the Santa Ana Rescue Mission

My brother and I discovered Larry Norman back in the seventies. Missionary kids, straight-cut and sometimes afraid of our own shadow, Larry gave us the voice we never knew we had.
A few years later, in the summer of 1977, having taken a job as a youth pastor, I took our high-school choir to Santa Ana Re...

You taught me how to die

Dear family, I enjoyed Larry's music immensely and he was always my favorite Christian musician. I learned to play and sing most of his songs. But after reading Charles' letter on larry's last days, the best thing Larry taught me was how to die. God Bless you all and you are in my prayers.
