John Michael Talbot's most stunning and unique album!
Recorded alone in a hermitage during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is at once both solitary on earth and in timeless communion with the choirs of heaven. It embodies as much as possible, the music of heaven on earth.

Billy Ray Hearn, Founder of Capitol Christian Music Group

I first saw John Michael Talbot in concert 37 years ago. It was truly a life-changing experience. And I was able to see him LIVE again. I truly believe God is using JMT in new and powerful ways... RIGHT NOW. Go and see for yourself. This is a rare and unique time to see a rare and unique musical talent - and a true minister of the gospel. A Troubadour for the Lord!
Tom Booth Dove / Grammy Award Nominated Recording Artist / Oregon Catholic Press

I’ve known John Michael for more years than I’d like to remember. (I’m old).  I’ve spent weeks with him on the road, and seen him deal with all kinds of high pressure situations, both onstage and off.
John’s heart has always revealed the love and compassion of Christ.  His music is uniquely his own and has profoundly ministered to tens, if not hundreds of thousands over the years, maybe even millions.    Barry McGuire - Pop Music ICON, "Eve of Destruction"

Peace and Good in Christ!

We have received many ministry requests during my sabbatical. I am still praying about whether or not to return to live ministry around the world. The personal call of the hermitage is strong, and the pastoral needs of the monastery are real. I am seeking God’s will in Jesus. 

Please be assured that we will let you know if I am called back out of the hermitage and monastery for live ministry. We all need to see what the real situation is like once the COVID-19 crises is substantially past us as well. 

Thank you for your interest, and thank you for your prayers! 

All things are possible in Christ with God! 

In Jesus,
John Michael Talbot
