Rebecca is one of our favorite artists. The music she has done in more recent years is very relevant and modern. The guys working behind the scenes have done a superb job in helping her to become a major force in music today. We have had the privilege of seeing her perform several times and also speak on 2 occasions. One of the best performances we have seen was during her christmas tour |

Rebecca is originally from Australia where she grew up around music. Her father was a Christian music promoter. Her talents were discovered by Carman, who asked her to be a part of oneof his concert tours. She came to US with her entire family when her father landed a job in Nashville. Her music career took off after her father lost his job and the family found itself with next to nothing and totally relying on God to provide. The folks at Forefront Records must have known that they were on to something when they took her aboard. Indeed they were on to something. Since her first album stormed the charts, she has been on the cutting edge musically and has really been making an impact on today's culture. If you check out the links at the bottom of the page, you can find out about everything Rebecca has ever done musically. |

One reason I believe she is one of the top artists today is because she is just that, an artist. She is not just a singer. In addition to singing and being able to write songs, she is also a powerful speaker. We have listened to her speak twice at the Creation Festival. She has an incredible ability to speak what's on her heart and to relate to the audience. Also, she is very open and honest about herself and her strong stand for things like faith in Christ, the bible, worship, and abstinence. Her concerts are incredibly powerful experiences. There is more going on than just singing some songs. She has a strong desire to worship and get the audience singing with her, and she makes a strong challenge of commitment to Christ throughout the concert. She is very real, young people can relate to her and her music, and God is definitely using her in a big way. |

She
happened to be in Ft. Myers, Florida during the time that we were vacationing
on nearby 
.
My dad even went with us. I think the jury is still out on that one.
The show was incredible. Her brother did an awesome job with all
of the lighting and special effects. The show was quite long, but
she sang a lot of songs both from her christmas album and her other albums,
and the band was tight and rockin' from start to finish. The young
people, especially, definitely were big time into the show. She is
a great communicator also. There was a tremendous response to her
message during the commitment time. She also got the audience involved
in singing and worshiping. It was definitely a moving experience.
Plus, on top of all that, the show only cost us ten bucks each! You
can scroll down and get a little history on Rebecca St. James, read about
why I think she is one of the top artists in Christian music, and also

concert updates, and audio and video clips.
