Rating:  - Chapman's Most Serious Album Was Also His First Classic
For the Sake of the Call, which appeared in stores the very last week of December 1990, was Steven Curtis Chapman's first classic album. By this reviewer's estimation, it's still his third best album; only Signs of Life (1996) and Speechless (1999) surpass it, although Heaven in the Real World (1994) and The Music of Christmas (1995) run neck-and-neck with it. And almost seventeen years later, it's still Chapman's most serious album -- an intense examination of what truly constitutes discipleship ... Read More
Rating:  - For the Sake of the Call-a prelude
This was a necessary CD for Steven. It is truly a defining moment in his career. This was the recording that would lead to his very best work,
"Speechless." It is always great when we can grow with an artist, and that is clearly established in this wonderful, extradinary,(sp?) must-have CD.
As usual, Chapman doesn't hold back. He tackles controversial subjects without never once backing down on his faith.
Must have, must have, must have!
God Bless You!
Rating:  - Chapman's 1st really good disc
This album placed 5 hits on Christian radio (#3 title track,#3 "Busy Man",#11 "What Kind of Joy", #15 "You Know Better" and "No Better Place", which stayed at #1 for 2 weeks) and there's good reason why: this is a very solid album with few missteps. Chapman finds some passion in putting himself in the feet of the "twelve unlikely men" who helped found Christianity and themes the album around the idea of what it means specifically to follow Christ's call.

Rating: - a wolf in sheep's clothing
With many more recordings under his belt since this release, Steven Curtis Chapman has had a chance to expand his horizons. Over the years he has gained confidence and more of an edge to his music. This is an excellent album, but very subdued in comparison to his later releases.
Consider songs like Blind Lead the Blind and You Know Better. Both contain very strong messages and powerful lyrics, but they are cloaked in very wimpy melodies - a wolf in sheep's clothing that can't find its way ... Read More
Rating: - A Classic
When I was just beginning to seriously explore Christian music, I kept running into one name, Steven Curtis Chapman. I decided to give him a try with this disc, his current release at that time. The result? A new fan was born, and I've enjoyed every moment I've spent with this talented artist.
Even with all the high quality CD's he's released over the years, this is still arguably my favorite. Every song has come to mean something to me over the years, and listening to it again is like getting reacquainted ... Read More
