Recently a friend of mine asked if I’d heard of Sufjan Stevens. His daughters were fans, and he was trying some of his music. He had a particular track off of a particular CD that he recommended. I replied I had heard of him somewhere (later recalling it was reading about him in an issue of Relevant Magazine), and that the youth director at my church had mentioned him several times as one of her favorite artists. I borrowed the CD from the church youth director and gave it a try.
