A Prelude
to Tomorrow (2007)
"Are you on the sojourn of your lifetime seeking the
One Who makes our hearts glad? Join this fellow sojourner
as he explores the heights and depths of intimacy with his
Creator. Joel Bidderman's 4th CD, "A Prelude to Tomorrow",
uses the richness and simplicity of acoustic
instruments to weave a fascinating tapestry of praise
and longing for the only One Who can satisfy. A tasteful
mixture of jazz and contemporary choruses will have you
humming these wonderful creations to the Creator long after
the CD is finished playing. Joel's sensitivity to the
challenges involved in seeing the unseen and hearing the
unheard are skillfully captured in these 10 offerings.
A Prelude To Tomorrow challenges each child of God to be
'strong and very courageous' and to see with the eyes of
eternity the Hope that awaits all who trust in the
Lord."

"This worship comes
from a true place of prayer and intimacy. The depth
and authenticity of Joel's lyrics reflect his secret life
in God. His skillful composition and acoustic sound
complement his lyric style. I caught myself humming
the catchy melodies throughout the
day."

"Joel's new
CD puts worship and words to the yearnings of the heart to
walk in simple and joyful intimacy with our Father in
Heaven. It brings you into a place where you
joyfully abandon your own desires and truly worship God in
spirit and in truth. What freedom! I can't stop
playing it and worshipping
God!"

Depravity, Grace &
Reckless Abandon (2002)
"Depravity,
Grace and Reckless Abandon" speaks the heart of the
Gospel. From
the freedom of forgiveness
of sin, to the fellowship of sufferings, this CD
presents lyric truth and hope. Joel
Bidderman's musical talent shines as he sings his
heart to God. Anyone listening to this CD
will be drawn into the worship and their hearts will be
lifted up in adoration of Christ. As I think of
this CD and Joel's witness to the Gospel I am reminded of
Philippines 3:10, "I want to know Christ and the power of
his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings..." I believe Joel's music will give the
listener greater insight into those words.
Joel's life and music has always honored our suffering,
persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. He has a
love for the Body of Christ and I applaud his faithfulness
in sharing that passion with others through his inspired
music.

Joel Bidderman's latest
release, "Depravity, Grace and Reckless Abandon", is a
heartfelt compilation of sincere music to God. Joel has the
amazing ability to convey a Godly message in a very down to
earth manner. Catchy rhythms, excellent guitar playing and
prayerful lyrics are found throughout this release. I count
this as Joel's best work to
date.

selflessness.
