Rocked and rolled the Church in France too
(Preview)
As a Christian teen in France, where church was populated by gray-haired head-knowledge Christians, there was not much to draw me to God... until I stumbled on a Larry Norman album. Larry, you have voiced what I felt, yet didn't have the courage - or the words - to say. That following Jesus is not about p...

I was just a confused nobody, walking down Hollywood Blvd, trying to make sense of the world. Larry stopped and talked to me for a couple of hours and helped bring some sense to my thinking, while making me feel okay about the things that don't make sense. Larry always kept an eye on me, as I grew in the Lord...

The Night We Sang Larry at the Santa Ana Rescue Mission
(Preview)
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...

Re: A friend I never knew personally

It was Larry that thrilled me, when back in 78 I was first hearing his albums, and loving them. I had such joy that real music was back, Christ centered, etc. I cried a bit as I drove to work today in the Pocono Mtns (PA), just having heard of the passing of this beautiful man. I kept missing seeing him in l...

Privileged to have been to a Larry Norman Concert
(Preview)
I have always loved Larry's music and was so blessed to be at a concert of Larry's in Cardiff, Wales, UK, back in the 70's. I will never forget his love of the Gospel and his urgent request that we use plain language in witnessing to people, not the evangelistic-speak in vogue at the time, but most of all I w...

This is a message from the band Jerusalem in Sweden. We were sad when we heard that Larry is no longer with us, but he's now together with the savior he loved to sing about. Larry did battle and win against all odds in the beginning when Christian Rock was something, according to many, a bad and ungodly thi...

He began corresponding with me on a regular basis regarding my upcoming album but, more importantly, me as a person. I saved a comment he made in an email to me about 3 years ago that has truly helped me keep music in per...

Larry Norman looms so very large in my life--in my soul. Today I am an ordained minister of 25 years; a former missionary evangelist, church-planting pastor and, for the last 14 years, a minister to our elected and appointed officials on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. It wasn't always so. When I was a...

Hi, Like many, I counted Larry as a major influence on my life and faith, and I want to say thanks to him, and offer my condolences to the family.

My condolences to the Norman family. Neither you nor Larry will ever know how much Larry meant to me and people like me. Growing up in the 60' and 70's when rock was "sinful" in many, if not all churchs, Larry carried the banner for all of us who saw music not as satanic but as a new and effectiv...

Larry's passing

I don't think any artist's music, Christian or otherwise, has had as profound an influence on my life as Larry's. He often frustrated me with some of his antics, but geniuses rarely make easy companions and Larry was a true genius. In a few hundred years many of today's Christian artists and their musi...
