As I have listened to this CD, and finally pull out the credits. You'll first see that Darwin Hobbs is now on TYSCOT RECORDS and not EMI! Hmmm, I wonder why, but that's just me being noisey. TYSCOT always seems to me, a record company that allows the artist to make a lot decisions in which way they chose. First, to understand the album you have to understand the background behind it, in Darwin Hobbs doing some house cleaning from the past by coming out about him being molested as a pre-teen. NE ways, you can do some hunting on the net for the story. I'm a supporter of Darwin's ministry and have 3 of his previous projects, and I must admit...I had to sort of adjust with some of the project. But after about a week, I began to CLING to songs like: YOUR GRACE IS ENOUGH (which allows you to pull out your bible and go over the promises that the Lord has given us...ex: Jer 29:11 ETC.)...and others like: IN THIS PLACE, (which has a breakdown that really pulls me right in the middle of the song..."there is love here, there is peace here, there is joy here, in this place...") and looked at the credits to see Darwin had part in writing this tune. I'm also really glad that he decided to put FREE, the acoustic version on this CD, it allowed me to enjoy the song even more than the original...as it at first seems too overbearing, instrumentation wise. But I love the song Darwin, if you're reading this! OK...GET READY!!! Cut number 6: I REPENT, is a vital part of this project. With an essence of the late Luther Vandross' style here. This will be a tune that will help our lifestyle of repenting. I appreciate the arrangement, strings...and the little or no rhythmn section. And I think that this album wouldn't have been with HE'S ABLE, which you can pull up and watch on youtube....YOU MUST HAVE THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION! Darwin we need a live DVD from you, with tons of behind the scenes interviews and commentary from you and Traci!

I love this album! I'm not into gospel, i think it drowns out so many great artist voices but that's my opinion. He reminds me of a Christian version of Luther Vandross. I do not compare any singers with Luther, because Luther is in another category than any singers i hear.

I Hope Darwin will make more albums like this one.

This cd is okay, I was dissapointed because I was looking for Darwin's style to bust out, but on this cd it didn't happen. The song "He's able is about the only track that is good.

Darwin Hobbs is a wonderful singer and man that can sing beautiful praises to God. I enjoyed the CD and all of his CDs as always.

This is my first Darwin Hobbs CD. I purchased it after watching his live performance of "He's Able" on BET. The rest of the album meets and exceeds expectations. The lyrics are fresh, the music uplifting, and his performance inspiring and genuinely annointed. It's great for my morning and evening commute. Buy it! It's an excellent addition to any gospel music collection.

Mr. Hobbs doesn't miss the mark when it comes to taking you away into God's presence. He's a true worship minister. The only reason I did not give this project 5 stars is because the title song is on the cd twice. I'd much rather hear another song rather than the title song twice (even acoustic). I bought 2 cds by mistake, but I decided to keep them both -- for my home and my car -- this is that kind of cd. If you like contemporary Gospel you'll like this project.

Overall the CD is just OK and Dobbs is a Blessed male artist. I just wished that this recording was live like the last song than being studio recorded.

A CD with such meaning. It will definitely bless you, especially if you are broken. Darwin has such a mellow voice and his compassion is captured in every one of the selections. This CD will defintely bless you. Buy one and give to someone who is going thru trying times/brokeness.

I have listened to the entire cd, and it is an awesome annointed cd, and I know the words of this cd touch the heart of God. God is Spirit and He is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and truth. This man of God is blessed. He has a beautiful voice and he knows how to worship the Lord, and take you into the presence of God. I love the song 'I repent', so many of us christians need to repent,turn away from our sin, and get right with the Lord. This cd has truely blessed me.

I am enjoying my last purchase from Amazon very much. I received it in a very timely manner.
