Even Now
Matthew WardMatthew WardMillions of contemporary Christian music fans have heard his inspirational message of hope...first, as the male vocalist for the legendary contemporary Christian music group the 2nd Chapter of Acts, and then through his six solo music albums.  Matthew Ward is living proof that God uses circumstances to turn hearts toward Him. Where his My Redeemer CD was inspired largely by Matthew's physical experiences as a cancer patient, his new CD, Even Now, explores our emotional link with the God of the universe.Matthew Ward is a study in contrasts. He is intense, yet lighthearted; intellectual, but not pretentious. He loves the outdoors and the activities of the Rocky Mountain region where he lives, although he also travels into his own soul to search for the words and music that God has placed there. He is a man who has faced death and now savors every moment of life that God grants him. Matthew Ward's music is a complex reflection of God's message filtered through the life of a person who struggles daily as we all do.Witty and entertaining, Matthew Ward in concert breathes a welcome gust of fresh air through the Christian experience as he peppers the time with stories and quips that remind us not to take ourselves quite so seriously. As for his own remarkable gifts, Matthew acknowledges that he has always known where his talents come from. "When it's all said and done," he says, "I don't want people to remember me for my ability to sing, but that I always turned their eyes to Jesus."
