Talk:This Is Your Time (Michael W. Smith album)

I think that there needs to be a bit more on the inspiration for the album, and I provided a link back to Cassie Burnell's page. I remember the rumors vividly, and the incredible impact they had on the evangelical community, but I'm struggling to find suitable cites. So far this one, with people writing about what the song and album meant to them, is the only one I can find. ChristinaDunigan 17:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Release date
There seems to be some uncertainty about the release date of this album. I have found two sources giving different dates: Jesus Freak Hideout mentions January 12, 1999 (which is also listed in this article), but AllMusic says November 23, 1999. I assume it should be November 23, because the title track was inspired by the Columbine shooting, which occurred in April 1999. Nielshoogvliet (talk) 20:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Michael_W_Smith/This_Is_Your_Time/1715/ review, which is usually close to the release date, is February 2000.
 * https://www.amazon.ca/This-Your-Time-Michael-Smith/dp/B00002SWMT/ref=sr_1_11 agrees with November.
 * https://www.ccmmagazine.com/features/michael-w-smith-soverign-state/ argues that it was following Columbine, and old reviews are not easily accessed.
 * confirms the Columbine connection. I think it is safe to say the JHF date is wrong, and probably closer in-line with the Cross Rhythms late review date and should be January 2000 not 1999. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:42, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have found some more sources as well:
 * Dicogs - 1999
 * muziekweb.nl (Dutch music database) - November 1999
 * Spotify - 1999
 * Beliefnet - 1999
 * Barnes & Noble - November 23, 1999
 * michaelwsmith.net (fan site) - 1999
 * For me it's clear that the correct date should be November 23, 1999. It seems like Cross Rhythms was a bit late with their review this time ;) Nielshoogvliet (talk) 11:39, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
