"The greatest hymns sung by today's popular Christian artists, these CD's are great for singing along in the car and praising His Name. They are the two most played CD's in my collection."
Amazing

"My mother-in-law asked me to select some old hymns for her on CD. I couldn't do the traditional old style stuff but wanted to respect her wishes. She LOVES this music. So do I. I've since ordered one for my mother and me. What a nice mix between totally contemporary worship and old school hymns. We have a lot to learn from old hymns but in this mix it's easy to get swept away and swept into worship. Perfect for someone like me who grew up in a traditional church and now attends a contemporary worship experience."
ONE TERRIFIC ALBUM

"Contemporary artists give their renditions of traditional hymns, and it's terrific. There is also a piano & voice book that goes along with it, from which I've performed four of the songs in public, and have gotten excellent responses. The lady that accompanies me always comments on how excellent the arrangements are. I wish they had done more than the two albums, but this one is the best. You can't beat Amazing Grace, I Surrender All, Because He Lives, Take My Life And Let It Be, etc. - all on disc 2. Each artist gives their selection its own unique twist, which I like. The only disappointment is Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus, by Michael W. Smith - it's just too short. But great double album otherwise, and a steal at this price. Waitsel"
Brings back memories

"Got this as a Christmas present for wife. She really enjoys it and so do I. Music is truly relaxing to us and brings back memories of times we spent in not only our church but ones that we have visited."
Great hymns for a good price

"I used to think that hymns were only slow dirges. Most hymn compilations are like 75% slow songs.
This compilation is a great mix where most of the songs are sung in a style that is really PRAISING God. Not to say that slow hymns are bad, but hey most of them were written to be triumphant and exciting.
