I recently discovered this group when browsing for some music and i found i really liked them. Their different from all the other groups because of the type of music, songs they pick and their wonderful harmonies. I like that they don't go with everyone else and sing with "Christian Rock", they sing nice songs some with an african twist and the songs they use are some of the most beautiful hymns. This cd will bring u closer to God and lift you up. I plan on buying all of Selah's cds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Footprints poem - the musical soundtrack!, May 26, 2004

This is a CD for anyone who's ever struggled in their faith due to pain and problems in daily life. It's got to be one of the most inspirational recordings I've ever heard. It's so simple - a couple of guys and a girl singing along with a piano - and yet it'll blow you out of your socks with how powerful it is.

I was going through one such struggle myself a few days ago, and I prayed and asked God for reassuance. The very next day my Selah CDs arrived in the mail from Amazon.com. To put it simply my prayers were answered.

I put the CD on and began doing the dishes. All the way through the disc I was pulled alternately between wanting to jump for joy and weep with gratitude. The overall message of Be Still My Soul is "Yes, God is there, and he does care. He still loves you no matter what." The Spirit of God was stirred up inside me, and not only did I begin to realize how much God really does love me, I also realized how much he loves and hurts for every single person going through pain and problems as well. It was a very faith-affirming experience, and as I said, a direct and powerful answer to the prayer I had prayed the day before.

This CD has uninanimously received 5-stars from every single reviewer so far, and deservedly so. Be sure and buy a copy for anyone who is struggling with grief, pain, fear, loss, doubt or depression, or who has come through such a struggle and is getting back on their feet. Be sure and pick up a copy for yourself if you are going through these same things. You will be encouraged and inspired beyond what you can imagine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Your Ordinary Hymns Album, December 26, 2000

The market is full of artists and gospel "wanna-be's" covering numerous hymns. Fortunately, many of the buying public avoid the half-hearted efforts and gravitate toward the quality recordings, but the arena of christian music is saturated by a large number of "hymn hits". Happily, Selah visits the art of singing hymns with a reverance and a sincerity that proves infectious.

Todd and Nicol Smith are brother and sister. Much like The 2nd Chapter of Acts, they demonstrate that siblings sing and harmonize well together. As youngsters, the Smiths spent many of their formative years in Ziare as missionary children, and you can hear the influences of a delightful African sound on a couple of recordings. However, the strength of this CD rests upon the talent of the vocalists who pour out their hearts and souls through every song on the album.

No new stylistic innovations are developed here. It is basically a simple approach of voices and piano, but a few songs feature additional instruments and vocalists without smothering the tunes. Each arrangement sounds as if it was prayerfully considered and performed as a worshipful offering to God.

It is easy to sing along and participate with Todd and Nicol on this album. Do not be surprised if this CD spends a great deal of time spinning in a compact disc player near you.
