To those of you enjoyed Clay's last efforts, as I have. Then waste no more time reading this. Let the album speak for itself.

Newcomers:For those of you who have never encountered Clay this is a great intro. He takes himself down a few notches from his last album and instead gets to know the man inside. If your lost then take your Rich Mullins album and imagine Clay Crosse as the voice. Clay explores his weaknesses and is brought back to who GOD really is. Also Michael W. Smith fans will enjoy the style of this album, as well as, his *Stain Glassed* album. Parts of this album reminds you of jazz/blues/rhapsody flare at times. So,take a chance! You will not be disappointed.

Clay Crosse is a brilliant Christian artist. Don't miss this CD! Arms of Jesus ranks among some of the best Christian songs of all times in my book!

WOW... And I do now mean WOW worship.

I was listening to K-LOVE one morning as I was going to work and they played Clay Crosse's "What would you do for a King", and almost had a wreck because I couldn't see through my tears. But as usual, God had the wheel. This song moved me in so many directions..spirituatially, emotionally, even physically.

In the back of my mind, this song brought the "house down". I would like to explain in words, how moving the song was to me, but like faith, words are inadiquate.

Buy the album, all cuts are good, but if you do not understand who is your King after listening to it, then your faith is shaky!

This album shows Clay Crosse as a man unabashedly in love with his God. The music is imaginative and superbly arranged. The lyrics, well, those could only be the inspiration of a human being fully alive in Christ. Congratulations to you, Clay Crosse. Glory to God!

The man uses the right words to express himself in this. My alarm wakes me up every morning to songs from this album and I can say for a fact that my soul is ministered to each morning just by listening to this album.

Although the album titled "A Different Man" is Great I just could not make myself give it *5-STARS* In my opinion this album is not his best work. Actually the album titled "I Surrender All" is in my opinion the best because of the song {He Walked A Mile}!.....so "If I were you would I buy this Album"? The Answer is:! YES!

Clay Crosse's smoothe, soulful voice had been his saugnature in abums past and this one continues in that vein. Here, unlike his past efforts, Clay shares songwriting credits on nearly all the tracks. His last album was a departure of sorts for him, moving away from the soulful R&B and inspirational fare he's known for and delving further into pop and a little rock, too. This album does share that quality (album-opener "No Fear" is a great example,) but overall he's returned to his less rambunctous roots. "Arms of Jesus" is a tender song affirming that if we fall, we will "fall into the arms of Jesus," and has a beautiful melody. "End of the World" is a stirring tune with a near-anthmic chorus: "if you follow me...I will be with you 'till the end of the world..." Songs like "Memphis" and "98," though biographical and personal, fade into the background and are less than memrable. "Renna's Song (Walk With Me)" is a tender tribute to his wife of 11 years, but seems to have stolen the cheesy R&B pseudo-sauve of so many contemporary love songs. It definitely lacks something. Overall, it's a good effort, and his willingness to try his hand a little writing is to Clay's credit, but this is definitely not his best work. I'd recommend the album to a dedicated fan or anyone who wants a good disc that is pleasant but not dazzling, but if you can only buy one Clay Cd, pass this one up.
