If you want new music for your Christmas Eve service...

"I'm going to say something that most people wouldn't dare to--I recommend the purchase of this entire CD on the basis of one song. Not that the other songs aren't worth it, they are. But the one song, "Promised Son" is such a hit with the church that I sang it for, Christmas Eve two years ago. The whole church listened in raptured silence as I performed a cover of Susan Bailey's song. It was immediately accepted as part of the official Christmas canon, even though nobody has heard of indie artist Susan Bailey. Promised Son is just one cut in this entirely wonderful album, a mainstay in my Christmas collection (even tho it's more for Advent). This gives the Christmas music an added boost, as it reminds you of the time you're in... celebrating the anticipation of the Birth of Jesus, and giving new dimensions to the holiday cheer.If you want your Christmas Eve service to be different from the same old, same old, and have fantastic new songs, this album is for you."
Thanks Susan

"This cd of Susan's brought the meaning of advent back to myself and my family. The music is just so beautiful and really reminds me of what this is about. Susan has a way like no one else to invoke the Holy Spirit. I have never been so touched by music
for advent as this cd......thanks so much

"Susan's first album, "Teach Me to Love" is a wonderful gift of original songs sung with conviction and beauty. She's now given us yet another gift--this one a journey through the Advent Season. Her songs are prayerful, hopeful and offer us an opportunity to turn inward and meditate. In these frenetic times, filled with too many obligations and commitments, this album should be in every car, and in every home...simply put it on and allow the melodies, rhythms and messages pervade us and persuade us to focus upon the true meaning of this season--this season of hope--this season of the coming Savior! Thank you Susan!"
