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.

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.

This cd will take you from the outer court to the inner court in nannoseconds. It is crisp and clear with a pure Holiness. If you want to worship Jesus, if you want to focus on Him, this is the cd for you. With a just a cello, a guitar and a piano Kathy creates a heavenly symphony that is simple and powerful. Jesus is the focus, Jesus is the melody. Kathy's intent to focus on Him and not on herself gives this cd 5 stars and nothing less.

i enjoy very much the peace that this music brings to my soul.

This is my first Kathy Troccoli album and I am so in love with it! I love the instrumentation...it's simple, yet the arrangements do not follow the standard formats that we are used to, making for a delightful change. It's true, many of the songs flow right into each other making for a seamless worship experience. If you like Darlene Zschech's Simply Worship cd (and I think this is even MORE gentle than that) or CeCe Winans' Throne Room, than you may appreciate this unique worship song collection.

Kathy Troccoli has one of the best voices in music for any genre. This album certainly brings that out. (This album was originally named K.T. Worship: Forever in Love with Jesus). Kathy Troccoli is singing these worship songs, both traditional and modern, with simply a cello, a guitar and a piano accompanying her. Her talent for singing and her beautiful voice really shine through and gets you into the spirit of worship.

Listening to this CD allows me to "pray" in the midst of my chaotic days. Kathy's soothing voice coupled with these inspiring songs creates an atmosphere in my heart and home where peace can reign. The arrangements are classy - not over done, like Kathy's beautiful vocals

This is a great worship CD. Very calming and some great songs. It was recommended to me and I am not disappointed at all!

Great CD and songs. I really like Kathy's songs. I purchased this CD because it had the song "Draw Me Close". I needed God to draw me close since my father just died and went to be with God.
