A Project That Is Both Beautiful Musically And Inspirational

"My wife and I are area representatives with the Voice Of The Martyrs, and were able to meet Amy Shreve and her husband Gary Wixtrom, as well as to listen to them perform. Shreve plays the harp and other instruments like the mandoline and guitar. She is more than just a musician, though; she really does minister to others musically.



The project includes a couple of traditional hymns: "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul" and a beautiful rendition of "Be Still, My Soul." There are some beautiful ballads like the title track, "To A Friend", and "Psalm 119." Other songs are more upbeat and have an alternative rock sound, such as the crowd pleasing "Afraid Of The Dark," "The Way Of Love" (my favorite), and "Refuge", the final track, which features Gary singing the lead vocal.



There is a celtic feel to Amy's music, not unlike Enya. My personal feeling is everybody should have this project in their collection."
