At the end of an exhausting day, are you truly prepared to let your worries fall to the wayside?  Or, perhaps you need that little pick-me-up during your day at work?

The worship and praise, taken to new levels on the introspective project, Theory Of Evolution, is paramount to being shut in with God.  Music minister Maharold Peoples Jr. and the harmoniously talented group, Tribe of Praise, have returned after six years to minister in song. And their ministry is certainly blessed!  Each track resonates with a deep sincerity that not only offers praise but celebrates one of God’s greatest creations, the human being.

Maharold Peoples, Jr. and Tribe of Praiseare not new to the gospel scene.  In 2001, the group released their debut album entitled The Millenium Project.  Staying true to their flavorful roots, the group does not stray from delving into a rich blend of traditional, contemporary and soulful gospel songs.  Peoples and Tribe of Praise deliver each track with a refreshing and compelling style.

From the declarative, up-tempo, I Shall Not Die, to the heartfelt, emotional, Face The Wall, this 18-track project offers an array of musical selections composed to engulf the listener in God’s presence.  The song entitled, He Broke Me To Bless Me, is Peoples’ testimony to how far God took him in his life.  The profound lyrics take you to the point in his life where God rescued him: In the grip of His Grace/In the grip of His grace/In the grip of His grace/He broke me to bless me/Oh! He holds me/Holds me/ Jesus, He holds me/In the grip of His grace…

The message of hope is powerfully conveyed.  When times become trying and the light at the end of the tunnel can barely be seen, God can turn things around.  Such is the message on the soulful, mid-tempo song God Can Do Anything (But Fail).  Trusting God is important during these times, because, as the lyrics to the song testify, There’s no problem too hard for Him to solve.  Songs are accompanied by scripture, providing much needed spiritual food along with the music.
The moving ballad, When Things Don’t Change, follows the theme of hope in a weary and darkening world.  Praising God is important, regardless of what takes place in life. The song testifies to perseverance, using the faith God has granted to each and every one of His children.

Peoples states: “As you listen to the Theory of Evolutionproject, I earnestly pray that you would allow the message to penetrate your spirit. We are living in a world that has blurred the lines between holiness and un-holiness.  But we, as Christians, are called to put a difference between holy and unholy and between clean and unclean.”

Peoples and Tribe of Praise are certainly on an important journey in taking God’s Word to the masses through praise and worship.  Theory of Evolutionis a great blessing and will continue to be played as the years go by, until our Lord’s return.
