The Big Picture

Michael W. Smith’s The Big Picture (1986) marks his third studio album, notable for its polished ’80s pop sound and pop/Contemporary Christian sensibility. It explores themes such as pursuing one’s calling (“Pursuit of the Dream”), avoiding escapism (“Lamu”), and maintaining purity (“Old Enough to Know”). The album was honored as Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards and ranked No. 21 on CCM Magazine’s list of the 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.
