5.0 out of 5 stars Don't ignore this cd if you own All My Days, April 29, 2002

I was under the impression for a while that this cd was a "compilation" of some of Rita's music from "All My Days" with some of her older music. Not true. Some of the same songs are here, but they are mixed differently. This is a live album. It is not like other live albums where it is one long recorded concert and you can hear the audience throughout. If you love "All My Days" you will love the live quality of this cd - plus you will get to hear portions of some songs that were not included on "All My Days".

Rita is by far the musician that has the greatest personal impact on my life in a long time. She truly worships God. There is never a question when listening to her heart on this album or any of her others, that her music is not about her - it's about God - period. I love that. There is no attempt to impress the listener with vocal or instrumental talent here - simply an invitation to join in a journey. My all time favorite Rita Springer song is on this album - "Freedom Reigns", a song that literally proclaims the verse found in a letter to the Corinthians, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Freedom". The song "Moving with the Lamb" is an incredibly sweet and personal proclamation of relationship with Christ.

Rita's music has become an integral part of my personal devotional time. Her music cuts to the quick, gets to the point, goes straight to the Throne, does not pass go, does not collect two hundred dollars. For those of you that have been searching for "something better" than much of the Christian musical fare offered, here it is. If I could only own one cd - this would be it. This is why God created music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rita Knows Jesus, August 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Created To Worship (Audio CD)

I recommend this CD without a single reservation. I believe that Rita understands what it means to be "transformed by God through worship." She's been transformed, and she is now a willing vessel to help all participants in this music to see the beautiful face of Jesus -- and to be changed by Him. I buy this CD for others all the time, and I ask the recipients not to "listen" to the music, but to "find your own worship place inside yourself" and PARTICIPATE in the music. God shows up every time. And lives are changed by the everlasting and enduring mercy of God. Her lyric "You are still sovereign, even when my circumstances don't change" is life-changing. "Phenomenon" is my life's anthem (particularly the lyric: "I've had enough of this life of a Pharisee, I want to know this Jesus who's been loving me"). On a purely technical note: the divine energy and inspiration of live worship was wonderfully captured on this CD. No doubt that this project would have been much "flatter" if done in a studio session. In the CD's credits, the Holy Spirit should have been listed as the producer! [important note: this June 22, 2001 re-release was tragically released without three songs from the original April 1, 2000 release . . . one is a particularly tragic omission: "Fragrant Offering." The April 1, 2000 release is now sometimes known as the "Collector's Edition" and it is WAY worth the few extra bucks]

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars is not enough, January 7, 2002

By 

Jordon Cooper "Coop" (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Created To Worship (Audio CD)

Actually I feel back giving it just five stars. It is that good of a CD. I heard her live at TheOOZE.com's conference in Seattle and she was even better than that CD. You will not regreat buying this CD or hearing her live.

The song writing, the piano, her voice, and the production are all excellent.
