I believe that this CD is Ms. Troccoli's finest work. A lovely set of contemporary and traditional hymns, tastefully and simply arranged with acoustic guitar, piano, and cello accompaniment. Kathy sings brilliantly throughout. The album's quiet, graceful approach truly encourages one's heart to open to God. Good going, KT!

As a fan of Kathy's for years, I was delighted with this CD. While I love the more upbeat music, I enjoy this CD for quiet reflection and worship with the Lord. The lyrics and soft music invade my quiet moments.

This is one of the few CD's that I consider an absolute must in my collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quiet and worshipful, this is one of the best inspirational recordings of 2005, November 26, 2005

Kathy Troccoli has never sounded better. This stripped-down acoustic treatment of popular praise and worship songs, choruses and hymns suits her well. Her own "My Life Is In Your Hands" is right at home with the rest. These are inspirational and reverent renderings to the accompaniment of guitar, piano, and cello.

This is a great example of taking the familiar and making it sound fresh. Though the majority of songs are well known, nothing sounds tired. The simplicity, sparseness and softness give new life to a strong collection of old and new.

A medley of two Bill Gaither classics, "There's Something About That Name" and "He Touched Me," provides a touch of nostalgia for those old enough to remember when they were popular. Light jazzy piano is sprinkled over an upbeat "Wonderful Merciful Savior." A few songs like "O Sacred Head Now Wounded" have extended instrumental parts. "How Great You Are" and "Knowing You" are beautiful songs of adoration.

This is a soothing way to start or end a day. Quiet and worshipful, this is one of the best inspirational recordings of 2005.
