"Jesus, we thank you for the faithfulness of your servant Larry Norman who inspired a generation with heartfelt songs of praise for God's loving grace, and a call to costly discipleship in a world looking for cheap grace. May the Holy Spirit continue to use Larry's songs to speak to a needy peopl...

Re: A friend I never knew personally
(Preview)
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...

He was ready and his wish is for the rest of us to be ready.

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
(Preview)
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...

I Wish We'd All Been Ready

Larry Norman's music back in the early 70's was conducive to my becoming a Christian. My brother had his "Upon This Rock" album, and would play it frequently. My brother is now distant from God, and in an alcohol treatment center run by the VA. God has His hand on me, and though I am not a musici...

Larry's music was an inspiration to many of us born in the latter days of the Jesus movement. What an encouragement it was to listen to his music and hold the album sleeve. It was a relief to see that we didn't have to fit into the Gaither Trio model of music (no offense, but it wasn't who we were). Larr...

I was not even a teenage when I started listening to Larry's music. My older brother introduced me and I was hooked for years. it's been a while since I've listened in, but the old tunes still ring in my heart. I'm thankful for what Larry did for Christian music and mission during his lifetime.
