Wrestling the Angels

Wrestling the Angels is Kelly Minter's second studio album, third overall as she had previously released an independent album titled "Wheels Of Change" in 1997. According to Minter, the album's title, "Wrestling the Angels", was inspired by her reading of Jacob's struggle in Genesis.
Critical reception.
Ashleigh Kittle of AllMusic begins her review by saying, "Singer/songwriter Kelly Minter released her sophomore project "Wrestling the Angels" in the fall of 2003. Produced by Margaret Becker and Paul Buono, the acoustic pop album is similar in style to the early music of Susan Ashton as well as (Margaret) Becker's later projects."
Tony Cummings of "Cross Rhythms" gives this album 7 out of a possible 10 and concludes his revies with, "Maybe not the most innovative release to emerge from the US CCM but definitely a good showcase for a singer/songwriter with a heart for mission."
"Crosswalk"'s interview with Minter mention's this about the album, ""Wrestling the Angels", the organic-pop recording produced by (Margaret) Becker and Paul Buono, paves the way for Minter to pick up where she left off — this time more weathered and content to follow the simple advice Kim Hill offered her close to a decade ago: "Bloom where you’re planted."
