Emmanuel is an excellent, upbeat, intense musical portrayal of the life of Christ. While it is intended for a Christmas celebration..I received it initially just prior to Easter and fell in love with the outstanding music, vocals and the most important portrayal of the message of Christ. I've heard so many and participated in choirs for years.. this one is special!! Don't miss it!

This is a beautifully done CD celebrating the life of Christ. The composition of the music is extremely creative and lyrics are moving and in some instances lifted directly from the Bible. This is a first rate production with outstanding vocalist. The last five songs combine to provide and ending that is powerful and memorable.

I was looking for Christian Christmas music when I came across this. It sounded good and at least somewhat familiar so I ordered it.

There is conviction in the singing of these praise-filled songs. It is sincere, powerful and beautifully done and brings a sense of Christ's passion year-round. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a loving celebration of Jesus

This is without a doubt my favorite CD. It is spectacular! The talent, composition, combined with the most inspirational story every told make this a one of a kind. Its got it all!

I waited untill I recieved this CD to be sure it was the same artists. I have had this album on Cassette for years. After I bought a new car, I was very disappointed that there was no tape player, and I had trouble finding this album on CD in the stores.

This is Christmas Music, but I am usually burned out on it by Christmas, so after Christmas, I pack it away, but then about June I start craving the music in the album, so I dig it out and start the cycle over again.

This is undoubtedly one of the best newer Christmas musicals ever recorded. I wish it were on VHS or DVD. The songs are amazing, as are the artists. I initially bought it because I was a fan of both Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith, but all the other artists contribute a lot, too, and are just as talented. The instrumentation is great, and I highly recommend that this CD be included in everyone's Christmas collection!! In my opinion, this particular CD has the BEST version of the song Emmanuel that has been pressed to date. BUY IT!

This is probably my favorite CD. I have owned and listened to it for the past 3 years, especially during the Christmas season. I have also given it as gifts to several people and will continue to give it. It is not only Scriptural, but totally uplifting, upbeat, and a beautiful depiction of the life and death of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Every Christian should have it and everyone who doesn't understand Christianity should listen to it, especially the WORDS.

Unbelievably powerful musical on the life of Chirst, following the format of "Handel's Messiah", but definitely in a contemporary setting with classical touches. There simply is not a bad track on this album. Everything, from the songwriting, to the arrangements and orchestrations, to the performances, is sheer perfection. Some of the vocal pairings are unexpected, but work very well together. Sandi Patty and Susan Ashton blend beautifully on "Is This Not the Carpenter", Clay Crosse and Point of Grace shine on "Follow the Star", and Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant turn in a lovely version of the often-recorded title song. Add full choirs and orchestras, and you have a classic album that will move you like few others will.
