Falling Forward is an album by Christian rock musician Margaret Becker, released in 1998 by Sparrow Records.

Release and Reception

Falling Forward is the 8th release by Sparrow Records for Margaret Becker. The collection of 11 songs was released in April 1998. It marked a significant change from synth-driven pop to a more acoustic, soulful approach. Allmusic.com Reviewer Melinda Hill states,
"Falling Forward is catchy and hypnotic. Becker leaves pure pop behind, bringing in electric guitars and a more alternative sensibility. The songs have taken on a new depth, unafraid to hit on the difficult things,... Falling Forward ranks among the best that CCM has to offer, and is a wonderful new beginning for Becker"

CCM Magazine in its review of the album, writes, "Falling Forward paints a picture of life with all of its colors: some happy, some sad, some gut-wrenchingly painful, some tears-inducingly joyful."
