Rebecca St. James' "God" Turns 29

Originally released on June 25, 1996, God by Rebecca St. James continues to be hailed as a landmark project in the history of contemporary Christian music. Issued by ForeFront Records and produced by Tedd Tjornhom, the album marked a defining moment in the then-18-year-old artist's career, launching her into the spotlight as a passionate voice for a new generation of believers.
With a bold rock-pop edge and lyrics rooted in faith, God became both a critical and commercial success. The title track, "God," along with fan favorites like "Go and Sin No More" and "Abba (Father)," resonated deeply with audiences seeking authentic and unapologetically Christ-centered music.
The album debuted on the Billboard 200 and soared to No. 6 on the Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart. In 2005, it was officially certified Gold by the RIAA, cementing its enduring popularity. Critics praised Rebecca's mature vocal delivery and spiritual conviction, with Jesus Freak Hideout calling the album "a stunning breakout that captured the heart of a generation."
God features 11 tracks, including a hidden rendition of "Psalm 139," reflecting Rebecca's heart for worship, identity in Christ, and purity. The album's mix of powerful anthems and heartfelt prayers has continued to influence artists in the Christian music space, reinforcing St. James' reputation as a trailblazer.
Nearly three decades later, God stands as a legacy project - not only for its musical impact, but for its bold declaration of faith at a time when few young artists were taking the stage with such conviction.
