Editorial Review
Jeremy Camp makes no bones about his modern-rock influences. Stay displays strong, unapologetic musical tips of the hat to the likes of Creed and Dave Matthews as Camp wraps his faith-inspired message in a common sounding yet pleasing brand of gritty, blue-collar rock. While power rockers such as "Take My Life" flex their muscles, it's the driving urgency and catchy chorus of "Understand" and the smooth balladry of the string-laden "I Still Believe" that are most appealing. Like fellow Indiana native John Mellencamp, Camp deals head on with some tough issues, as evidenced by "Walk By Faith," a moving testament to Camp's struggle with accepting the death of his young wife, and "I Know Your Calling," a pledge from a man struggling to hold on to faith through tough times. --Michael Lyttle

5 Jeremy Camp is now my favorite musician!
This album is truly anointed. I bought the album after hearing just one track. I don't remember the last time I heard music that inspired me to such a degree as this. The main thing that stands out to me is that this man knows the Lord, Jesus Christ. He's not just singing about something he learned, he's singing to God Himself. I play this cd constantly, especially when I have time alone with the Lord. These songs bring forth declarations I couldn't express before. I know Jeremy's been through so much; losing his wife last year, putting an album together, life as a believer. There are several amazing tracks on this album.1)Understand--Just basically telling God that he sees God's hand over his life.2)Right Here--Jeremy recognizes God's presence through even the hardest times.3)Walk by Faith--Every man has to make a decision to walk by faith.4)Stay--Exhortation to someone who is being pulled away from the light of Christ.6)I Still Believe--My favorite song! I could listen to this song all day. 7)One day at a time--There's only way to walk life's road; one day at a time!8)Breaking My Fall--Second-favorite track. Powerful message. Jeremy recalls seeing God break his fall. The chorus ends with..."what am I supposed to do?" I wonder the same thing. How do we show our amazing God how greatful we are? 10)I know you're calling--Perfect song for someone who knows that God is calling them.11)Take my Life--This song is a bit more Rock than the rest, but has an amazing chorus. Some things were meant to be shouted, not just said: "Take my life, take my mind, take my soul, take my will, cus' I am yours Lord, I give it all to you."12)In Your Presence--Just hit "replay" on this track and let the Presence of God consume you. This album is a must-have for EVERY believer and a great gift for non-believers.Jeremy, if you read this, I love you in the Lord! Stay blessed, and don't ever compromise. In Christ, Joel.Don't ever doubt in the dark what God's shown you in the light.

5 I'm biased, but this album is terrific!
I'll admit straight off that I'm biased; Jeremy Camp was my next-door neighbour and a good friend when we were kids. I'm simultaneously proud and jealous of him, to see his career take off like this. God has really touched Jeremy with the gift of musical evangelism, and He is doing great things through Jeremy.Now on to the critical review part! In my opinion the three best songs on this CD are "Walk by Faith," "I Still Believe," and "One Day at a Time." "Walk by Faith" is one of my personal favourites from his independent release, and it's a simple statement that our life can only be lived through faith. "I Still Believe" actually made me a little teary, because this song was written when Jeremy was facing his wife's death. "One Day at a Time" is a fantastic, guitar-driven song about taking life as it comes.The rest of the album is great, too. "Take My Life" in particular is a great song, very guitar-driven. The lyrics are all uncompromising in their devotion to and reliance upon God. Musically speaking, Jeremy's guitar skills are excellent, and the album has a lot of energy. There are a couple of songs where the sound is slightly reminiscent of Creed. His voice is powerful and strong, and he uses it well to convey the feeling behind his lyrics.All in all, an excellent CD, and one that no Christian or fan of modern rock should be without!

5 What an awesome CD!
This is such a great CD. It is one of my favorites. I study, drive, jog, etc., to this CD all the time. Both "One Day At A Time" and "Take My Life" are equally good. Stil, my favorite track is "Right Here." This song alone really touched me so much, especially at times when it feels like family and friends are so far away (physically). Listening to any of Jeremy Camp's lyrics shows that he is obviously God-inspired, and I'm sure if you choose to buy this CD, you will be blessed with it as much as I am.
