Best Petra Songs Top 10 of All Time Petra first debuted in 1970’s and focused strictly on Christian rock music. Rock bands were numerous in the 70’s and 80’s, but no other Christian rock band became mainstream like Petra. The road was not easy and original founder Bob Hartman is what kept the band alive and thriving. There were many close calls on disbanding as Greg Hough, John DeGroff, Bill Glover, John Slick and other members chose different paths with other bands of the time. Petra’s style changed as they continued to appeal to a young audience influenced by many rock styles, including The Allman Brothers Band, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC and countless other mainstream rock bands. With over three decades of music and 20 albums, it’s challenging to choose the top 10 songs! We could make a top 10 list for the different genres Petra sings, but I am trying to encompass all of Petra on this list! Sep 06, 2014

7 Surprising Countries With High Populations of Christians What countries come to mind when you think about the ones that have the highest population of Christians? Being from the United States, it’s easier to be aware of what’s happening in my home country and the efforts that many U.S.-based organizations have in other countries, such as missionaries, orphanages and schools. The U.S. has a high population of Christians, but is certainly not the only Christian nation and I was curious to know of countries that have a high population of Christians that are surprising to me. One reason why the numbers are surprising to me is because it’s easy to believe that if there were Christians in a country, then terrible things wouldn’t happen, but God has a purpose for everything that takes place.
