Forever
& A Day by Anothony Skinner is prophetic intimate worship
at it's best! There is excellence with an awesome presence
of God on this CD. You don't want to miss this if you love
intimate prophetic worship . . .
The passion in Anthony's music has been likened to that
of U2, Jeff Buckley, Keith Green and others. It has been
said, "Every time I listen to Anthony's music there
is an immediate connection in my spirit. (His worship music)
reminds me of the first time I heard the music of Martin
Smith (of Delirious) and Matt Redman." (Steve Rice,
former Senior VP of EMI CMG / Worship Together, Smith and
Redman's parent label and publishing company).
Anthony's music is most noted for its passion and intimacy
and it draws the hearer into relationship with God.
"It was in a very low point in my life that the Spirit
of God revealed to me my true identity as a worshipper.
As I began to invite him into my own life and find deliverance
and healing in my life through extravagant worship, I felt
he wanted me to extend that invitation to others through
worship as well. I began to discover how God loves to touch
and reveal himself and set free the lost and his children
as we simply focus all of our attention and our affections
on Jesus".
Anthony has traveled and played over much of the United
States, throughout Eastern Europe and parts of Western Europe
as well as ministering cross-denominationally in churches
and conferences.
A strong part of his history has been to the poor and broken.
"From the time I was very young I always seemed to
connect with and have a strong affection for those who were
in the worst circumstances: addictions, drugs, depression,
poverty, homelessness...you name it."
As a teenager he was involved in a variety of outreaches
to the poor. Later he was a part of a group of young men
who established an inner city and arts ministry that included
a coffee house, outreaches to youth and the homeless, inner
city and suburban children, prisons and the elderly. He
was a founding member of "The Crucible" which
is an equipping school for creative ministry. Anthony continues
to lead worship and teach at this ministry on a regular
basis.
In addition, Anthony has led worship at Worship Together
Conferences (EMI), Thunder in the Bay, Catch the Fire, Randy
Clark, Fresh Fire, Morning Star and various youth conferences.
He also teaches at various conferences and gatherings. His
main emphasis in teaching is worship, hearing God, cultivating
a devotional life, songwriting and the spontaneous/prophetic
song of the Lord.
Anthony has a brand new live worship project he produced,
entitled "Forever and A Day" with his record company
Orphansake Records and a live acoustic project "100%
Live", recorded with long time friend and co-writer
Ross Huskinson. He is currently writing and recording his
first studio project with DC3 Entertainment.
Anthony makes his home in Ferndale, California with his
wife, Mary Keith (who is also a singer / songwriter and
worship leader) and their two children. He leads worship
at Arcata Assembly and every Friday Night in Ferndale. Together
they travel with their band leading worship, teaching on
the presence and the prophetic song of the Lord as well
as playing in clubs and other venues.
