John Michael Talbot John Michael Talbot

Biography

_________________________________________________________________________

It all began with a vision.

“God gave me a vision of itinerant ministry going from parish to parish in a time of

great need in our culture. I believe that our current ministry is fulfilling that vision.

The Catholic Church has nearly died in recent years, but God is raising us to new life

in Christ if we will but accept it. We are rebuilding the church one parish at a time,

and renewing hearts one life at a time!”

The path our Lord has guided John Michael on throughout his life has uniquely pre-

pared him for this time in the Church. After responding to the Lord’s call, God used

John Michael to bless millions of lives through his unique and multi-faceted ministry.

John Michael Talbot is one of the pioneering artists of what has become known as Contemporary Christian

Music. He is recognized as Catholic music's most popular artist with over 4 million sales and compositions

published in hymnals throughout the world. His newest album, ―Worship and Bow Down‖ is the 53rd

album in his 37 years in Christian music ministry and features his ―Mass of Rebirth‖.

A respected (and prolific) author, John Michael’s 24th book ―Blessings of St. Benedict‖ was published this

past September 2011 from Liturgical Press.

John Michael leads his very active ministry from the Little Portion Hermitage where he is the founder and

Minister General of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity. His artistic and humanitarian efforts have been

recognized with awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Gospel Music As-

sociation, Mercy Corps and the Mother Teresa award.

When a fire devastated John Michael’s monastery in April of 2008, John Michael began a new format of

itinerant ministry traveling from parish to parish to raise money to rebuild his community’s home. It

became clear that God was not only using his ministry to rebuild the monastery but to bring fulfillment to

the original vision.

Today, John Michael Talbot is one of the most active motivational ministers trav-

eling over nine months per year throughout the world inspiring and renewing the

faith of Christians of all denominations through sacred music, inspired teaching

and motivational speaking. John Michael, like a modern St. Francis, is rebuilding

God’s Church ―one parish at a time, and renewing hearts one life at a time.‖

Christian music like John Michael Talbot. This new recording will bring the beauty of

the Sacred Liturgy (the Catholic Mass) and it's new translation to many, many ears and

hearts. The new songs are vintage John Michael Talbot: scriptural, holy, melodic and

very useful for personal and corporate worship.” John Limb, Oregon Catholic Press

become known as Contemporary Christian Music. He is recognized

Blessings of St. Benedict - John Michael Talbot’s 24th Book

"John Michael Talbot is not only a troubadour of God, but over 25 years ago founded a modern communi-

ty of men and women. In this book he returns to the roots of Christian monasticism and, based on his own

lived experience, comments on the Rule of Benedict, to make its spiritual riches fruitful for us contempo-

rary men and women. He reads the Rule with a modern eye and opens it up as much for those in communi-

ty as those living in the world. These meditations are also suitable for Benedictine secular oblates. A life

based on the principles of the Rule of Benedict makes the world a more human place and Benedict himself

becomes a blessing for our times." - Notker Wolf, Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Order
