Chris Tomlin: And If Our God Is For Us ...

"For a musician all but unknown in New York or Los Angeles, Christian rocker Chris Tomlin had a standout December. As his new album, And If God Is With Us, climbed up the charts early in the month, his year-old Christmas album caught a seasonal updraft, giving Tomlin two albums in Billboard magazine's top 20 at the same time. Tomlin's rare distinction represents a first for the Christian music industry, and cements the dominance of the subcategory of Christian rock called Praise & Worship, of which Tomlin is the undisputed leader. And it is another milestone for a multimedia, hydra-headed organization known as Passion, which gave Tomlin his start and whose in-house label, Six Steps Records, produces his albums. Part revival meeting, part charity event, part national networking session, Passion drew some 22,000 college kids this week to Atlanta" (Paul O'Donnell, "Passion 2011: Chris Tomlin and the Christian Rock Revolution," Huffington Post, 1/7/11).
