Recap: Christian Album Covers

All of the below come from a favorite site of mine, LP Cover Lover, which collects and posts bizarre, beautiful, funny (unintentional and not), or just disturbing record jackets from around the world and across the ages.

My favorites of these tend to be the Christian-related albums . . .

Don't Let the Devil Ride

The World Series

I Kick Ass For The Lord!

. . . as they seem to have the highest level of unawareness of how inappropriate or silly their titles, graphics, etc. can look:

Let My God Love You

heaven came down

feel so good

Jesus Use Me

Jesus, What a Name

Sometimes I marvel that the artists responsible for the above don't think about the possible other meaning of the titles they use (as in the last two), but Berit, who has close family that lives in the fully Evangelical world - and nice and sweet people they are, to be sure, generous, kind, and good to us, and who believe fully that B & I will be going straight to Hell - reminds me that the creators and audience for this kind of work just don't think that way at all, and any unfortunate double meaning just wouldn't occur to them.

Which maybe makes this new one I grabbed - the reason for this post in the first place, and my all-time favorite - even more amusing . . .
