After more than two decades as a performer, writer, and producer, no
one offers a more honest, pastoral critique of contemporary Christian
music (CCM) than Charlie Peacock. In At the Crossroads, Peacock traces the history
of CCM and considers its future. Offering wisdom and information from
an insider’s perspective, Peacock draws from interviews and experience
to shed light on the weaknesses and potential of Christian music today.
As Peacock writes, “All of us involved with CCM, from the artist to the
audience, should seek to bring the full and sufficient truth to bear
upon the subject of music, ministry, entertainment, and business.” With
sensitivity, insight, and unflinching truth, Peacock comments on
lyrics, criticism, Christian artists in the mainstream, and the recent
“worship movement,” challenging us to follow our first call: to be and
do after the pattern of Jesus.
