Completely surprised

"Kate visited our church in San Antonio early this year. I had never heard of her before, but sat quitely at she plugged in her guitar and started to play. And play she did...What I heard in her "Melissa Ethridge" style of music completely blew me away. She sang "Carry Me" and by the end of the song I was on my feet wanting to hear more. As a classic rocker from the 60's & 70's era, it's really great to hear some inspirational messages with a beat that makes you tap your toes, bounce your head and say YEAH!"

Amazing

"This cd is amazing! Having heard Kate lead worship many times, this cd always reminds me why I love her so much. The worship on this cd is so passionate and honest. What sets Kate apart is her transparency. At one service where she was leading worship, she set down her guitar and knelt before God in the midst of all the music. It was so powerful to know that the worship leader was truly worshipping and experiencing God instead of merely preforming for an audience. This cd may not as be polished as some others, but when I listen to it, I feel as if I can let loose and worship uninhibited. Thanks Kate for not forgetting that it is all about Jesus."

Irony?

"David Miner [bass] could easily beat out most folk/countrymusicians based on his credentials alone [he's played with Dylan,Costello, T-Bone Burnett, Pierce Pettis, etc.] Derri Daugherty, as one of the more talented CCM lifers, comes with his own credentials as well [this is especially true in considering some of the work that he has done with the Lost Dogs]...Ultimately, however, the most important aspect of this recording is the level of writing on the original songs on this album. Kate's fortunate to have teamed up with Judie Lawson, who seems to have quite a knack for writing intelligent lyrics [on a worship album? maybe this project WAS a failure!] Thankfully this album manages to draw a bit of a distinction lyrically between humanity and God. i am not a fan of worship music, generally because it seems to be neither worship nor music but some sort of cheap attempt at writing "love songs" to one who might as well be no different than me...bleah...give me Cockburn's "Lord of the Starfields" any day...or give me someone like Kate who seems to mostly "get" it..."
