If you're just getting acquainted with Christian music, it can be a challenge to find spiritually slanted alternatives to your favorite mainstream artists. This guide provides a blueprint for who's hot on both circuits with several substitution considerations to replace the secular with the sacred. As with all charts and reviews, these match-ups are based on personal opinion, but still should be in the ballpark of what you're looking for within a genre. After scanning the choices, check out a Christian music or book store to dive into mood-lifting music with a message steeped in eternity. Be sure to share this spirit-filled music with non-Christian friends. Use this guide to pick music in their favorite genre.
