Can you imagine a career lasting 33 years? That is how long the group Petra sang their Christian rock music! They were there at the beginning of Christian rock music, as one of the first Christian rock bands. They have touched more lives than we will ever know.
Petra has sold over 7 million C.D.'s, received 4 Grammy and 10 Dove awards! They have carved their place in history as one of the first pioneers of Christian rock music.
Christian rock music has better lyrics, they edify you, not tear you down. Christian rock lyrics lift up your spirit and let you know that God loves you! If you are looking for music to buy for a teen, buy them Christian rock music. It's so much better for them than the other evil bands that are out there.
Petra was one of the first Christian rock music groups that I remember listening to on Christian rock radio, when I was young. Their style caught my attention from the very get go! They were not ashamed to sing Christian rock music. Some people thought it was blasphemous, but Petra sang their Christian rock music loud and proudly, not afraid of the critics opinion of them. They shocked many people with their long hair mixed with Christian rock music, but I I can truly say, they were one of my favorite groups and always will be!
