How Could I Give it Anything Less?, April 10, 2003
This review is from: 24 (Audio CD)
To celebrate Point of Grace's record breaking 24 #1 singles in a row, Word Records has released this two disc set. As you'd expect from the title, it contains all of this quartet's top hits.
The first disc starts with the only new song on the project. "Day by Day" is about a Christian's desire to see God, knowing that each day is bringing us closer. It's a fun number that fits in well with their other songs. Will it hit #1 as well? It's too early to know for sure, but I'd bet it does.
This disc goes on to feature their early career, with the eleven hits from their first two projects. Highlights here include "I'll Be Believing," "Jesus Will Still be There," "The Great Divide" and "God is With Us."
Disc two kicks off with "Keep the Candle Burning" and proceeds through the 13 hits from their other three CD's. Personal favorites in this set include "You Are the Answer," "Circle of Friends," "Wonder of it All," "My God," and "Praise Forevermore."
Also included is a booklet that gives information and thoughts on the songs presented here as well as telling when the song hit #1. It's quite interesting to read through and learn a little more about the group and the music industry.
As with any best of project, die hard fans will have favorites that they miss. Personally, I would love to see "More Than Anything," "God Forbid," and "Who Am I?" But then again, since these were never released to radio, it would defeat the purpose of this project.
Casual fans of this amazing group will want to get this set since it contains all of their radio hits. Point of Grace fans will want to own this piece of music history. Either way, it's a wonderful collection to celebrate this auspicious achievement. I'll be enjoying my copy for years to come.

"24" by Point of Grace, November 18, 2003
This review is from: 24 (Audio CD)
This 2-Disc CD is simply filled with amazing songs with such great harmonies that I just loved it! Some of the songs, like "Keep the Candle Burning", "That's The Way It's Meant To Be", and lots of others, were songs I had heard before, but it was really nice listening to them again. "Day By Day","I'll Be Believing", "Faith, Hope, and Love" are in Disc One and are my three new favorite songs. Nice beat, nice harmonies, nice melody, and nice lyrics. These four ladies have such lovely voices.
In my opinion, I liked Disc Two better because it had more upbeat songs, but Disc One had extremely pretty and touching songs, like "The Great Divide" and many more. Come to think of it, I liked both CDs. Well, I can't decide.
This is my first Point of Grace CD to get, though I have listened to "Life, Love, and Other Mysteries," "Steady On," and "Free To Fly." I did not regret getting this! :)
I definitely recommend this CD to Point of Grace fans (well, I suppose fans have already gotten this) and I'm sure who aren't fans will love this CD anyway.

Great startup for new Point Of Grace fans!, July 1, 2009
If you haven't purchased a Point of Grace album or have one in your collection, I would heartily recommend this album as it contains all of Point of Grace's top #1's(24 in all hence the title of this album). This group trailblazed the Christian music scene with there single "The Great Divide" and opened the door for more female Christian groups to enter CCM. You hear this album and you won't be able to avoid getting their other albums. Their latest album "How You Live" purchased alongside this one would be a great match. Their latest album leans a lot more towards country gospel than christian pop but it's still a superb album. "Day by day" is probably one of my top songs on this CD from Point of Grace. This group continues on because their first love is still the heartbeat of every song they write. This album will get you caught up on who Point of Grace is and contagiously...make you a fan real quick!
