- Rebecca Jean Smallbone was born on July 26, 1977 in Sydney, Australia to Helen and David Smallbone. She is the oldest of seven children--five boys and two girls. At age 13 she was the lead vocalist at her Christian school. That year, Carman asked her to open shows during his Australian tour, and she also recorded her first album, "Refresh My Heart." The next year, David Smallbone was offered a job in America and the whole family packed up to move with him; unfortunately, the job soon fell through. With no money to return to Australia, the family began to do odd jobs together, such as cleaning houses. Through the next two years, they lived on not much more than prayer. Someone gave them keys to a van; someone else paid the bills for the youngest Smallbone, Libby, to be born in a hospital.
At 16, Rebecca was given a record deal and began a career that has lasted 11 years so far. Beginning in 1994 with her self-titled debut, Rebecca St. James has impacted thousands of teens and even adults to live radically for God.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Sarah <historygirl86@aol.com>

- We may not have a gun to our heads, but every day we make the choice: Will we choose to live for God or for ourselves?
- When we decide to live for ourselves rather than choosing to live God's way, thats exactly what we do - condemn ourselves to destruction. To some extent, selfishness always leads to death of some sort.
- God makes His reality so obvious to us in His creation and in the little "mini-miracles" that happen everyday.
- God gives us new strength and perspective when we choose to be quiet with him.
- Often, I look up at a Moonlit sky or simply be in awe of God over something he has done and my heart will be so full I cannot speak to say except "I love you".
