“The Far Country” is the sixth studio release (2005) by Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Andrew Peterson. The title of the album is taken from a quote made by a 16th century German theologian: “God is at home. We are in the far country.” Peterson uses this insight to produce a masterwork. His perceptive and eloquent lyrics become personal testimony to this well-reasoned observation, and much more. This is music that captures the heart. The lyrics capture our souls.
