The fact that Babbie Mason has become one of the most exciting Christian artists in the nation has not changed her down to earth approach to life. Even though her award-winning music is on radio and television worldwide and her works appear in the church hymnal, her feet are firmly planted.
When Babbie is asked to talk about her life accomplishments, she finds it difficult to boast that a host of Dove and Stellar nominations line her wall. In fact, she has reaped two Dove awards, one for Musical of the Year, MAKE US ONE, and another for Gospel Recorded Song of the Year, STOP BY THE CHURCH. She will not think to tell you that she has graced the platform with such dignitaries as Presidents Carter, Bush and Ford, performers such as Bill and Gloria Gaither and the Homecoming friends, and preachers such as Pastor Jim Cymbala and Dr. Billy Graham. She will find it difficult to boast about being part of the Women of Faith tour, the most talked about women's conference that attracts thousands of women from coast to coast. Never would she brag that such noted artists as Cece Winans, Larnelle Harris, Helen Baylor and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir have all recorded her compositions. And she won't readily admit that she penned the award-winning classic, ALL RISE, one of the most recorded songs in Christian music. Babbie Mason will, however, find it rather easy to talk about her commitment and love of God, her family and the church.
This Jackson, Michigan native and preacher's daughter received years of on-the-job training as the piano player and music minister in the church where her father was founding pastor. Today, Babbie's singing and songwriting efforts have produced fifteen recordings and an abundance of timeless compositions that are embraced by the church worldwide.
Babbie adds yet another title to her list of talents as singer, songwriter, college professor and talk show host. In her second book, Faithlift, she encourages one to step out from under the ominous cloud of doubt and fear that perhaps keeps the heart paralyzed. With transparent honesty, Babbie touches the deep places of the soul with heartwarming stories and real-life experiences, challenging the reader to rely on the truth of God's word in spite of how they may feel.
