Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
When artists can't bank on recording their own material, song selection and performance are crucial. Point of Grace, with their angelic four-part harmonies, have built a decade-long successful career in this style, tallying numerous No. 1 singles and inspiring a number of sound-alikes in the process. The four gals from Arkansas return with their first regular studio release in three years with Free to Fly, perhaps their finest effort to date. They sing their way through a most diverse collection of songs, the high point of which is clearly "Praise Forevermore," a soaring and majestical praise-and-worship tune penned by the brilliant Darlene Zschech (Hillsongs Australia). "Begin with Me," a punchy and muscular anthem, showcases the girls' five-star harmonies, as does "Blue Skies" and the rocking "Something So Good." For a different spin, the group includes the urban R&B-infused "Free Indeed" and the quiet and lilting ballad "La La La." Free to Fly should keep old fans happy and make some new ones in the process. --Michael Lyttle

5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! Blew me away! Wish I could put more stars!, May 9, 2001

By	Em (Maryland) - See all my reviews

Whoo whoo! Point of Grace did it again! After their awesome album "Steady On" I wasn't to sure if their next one could top it but I was wrong! This one was just as good maybe even better! I at first just bought it because of the song "Blue Skies" but as I put in my CD player and started listening to the songs I realized in a flash that it would be in my player for a very long time.

By Heart-Awesome beat and a catchy chorus... "by heart". Though the bridge is a little cheesy.

You Will never walk alone-My second favorite ballad, its sooo pretty. A great ballad making Terry, Shelley, and Heather sound beautiful on this song. Not to mention the harmony is awesome!

He Sends His Love- Another pretty song, a little more upbeat then the last one. Very catchy chorus. All four girls get to sing parts on this one.

Praise Forevermore- A really great worship song but upbeat at the sametime.

Blue Skies- Number one favorite ballad and of the whole album!!!! I can't even start to say how beautiful this song is. Denise's voice, the music, harmony, background vocals, the lyrics, just everything in this song is so wonderful. The way the music and lyrics were written just fills you with so much emotion and love for our Savior...

Begin With Me- Upbeat song, at first I didn't like it but the more I listened to it the more I did. Not a favorite though.

All That I Need- Gorgeous! Terry, you did AWESOME! Such a worshipful love song to Jesus. One that will put tears in your eyes!

Free Indeed-Second favorite upbeat song that I like a lot! You can tell that they had a lot of fun recording and singing this one. I love what they do the second time they sing the chorus, it sounds soo cool!

Something So Good- Number 1 favorite upbeat song. VERY catchy chorus and it will have you dancing! Its great and all 4 girl's take part singing.

Yes, I believe- Another ballad and one that makes you think.... Shelley sounds really pretty ....

La La La- Denise and Terry singing on this last one. At first I didn't like it just because to me the words sounded kinda "cheesy"? I don't know. But its also a song that I think we all experience in our walk with Christ.... But the second time I heard this I fell in love with it because it IS comforting to know that Christ doesn't care about our words as we try to find them to let Him know how we feel but what's in our heart.

So its an awesome, great, and magnificent album. DEFINITLY get it and I promise you will not be sorry. God's done something awesome with these 4 girls and I thank God that He is giving them the opportunity to shine for Him. They are such a blessing!

So are you gonna get it or not? Don't wait a minute! Be prepared to have your life changed by the words, music, and the girls themselves!!!!! :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Powerful!, July 7, 2001

By	Josie (Washington) - See all my reviews

After a long deserved break from their Steady On release, the Point's are at it again, for the 7th time around! These girls are getting so good at this, that when they put a new cd out, you know almost atomatically that it's going be a hit. Free to Fly is no exception. I was estatic to hear that my favorite CCM group was finally back to work on a new project. I waited with bated breath for the this release, and when I finally had it and listened to it, I was amazed again. Free to Fly has so many types of sounds all wrapped into one. It is new and fresh. There is not a song on it that I don't love. From the sweet, soft harmony of the gorgous You Will Never Walk Alone to the rock feel of Something So Good, everyone will find a song they like. If your into praise music, check out Praise Forevermore. If you like upbeat and catchy songs, you'll like By Heart, and Begin With Me. For people who like Point of Grace's sound in their earlier days, try He Send's His Love, Yes, I Believe and All That I Need. But all the songs are different in ways from their older ones. I found Free Indeed to be a refreshing selection, a new sound to a Point of Grace song. It has a urban feel to it. La, La, La is a soft ballad, a good wrapup song. Let's see, what have I forgotten? Of course, Blue Skies. There is no way to describe that one. To me it's the most powerful song of all of them. You can hear their voices soaring, and it's simply beautiful. All of the songs showcase POG's ability in many ways. It's amazing how much talent they have individually, but when put together, they leave you speechless. The lyrics on the songs are amazing also, giving you an overflowing message of our God's love. It is such a blessing having Point of Grace out there, sharing our Savior through their music. They keep getting better and better with each project they do, and I love them more and more with each new cd. Buy this, you won't regret it! God bless!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice blend of worship, affirmation, and fun, August 29, 2001

By	Melissa P. Cooper "kymissyin" (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard these ladies live and in person in 1998 during Heritage Keepers' Indianapolis conference, and have been a fan ever since. This album is very, very different from "Steady On", which seemed to use more acoustic instruments and came out more country-rock in style. Here the rock numbers are more pop-girl-group flavored, particularly on "By Heart" and "Something So Good," but catchy and hummable nonetheless. "Begin With Me" shows that these girls can ROCK, and "Free Indeed" is a pleasant stroll. But the songs that soar--the ones that truly take me to the throne and make this album worth owning are the ones that are mostly slower, such as "You'll Never Walk Alone," "Blue Skies", "Praise Forevermore," and "Yes, I Believe." They are perfect to listen to on both good and bad days when I need something substantial to keep me on an even keel. And believe it or not, that includes the final track as well. Those have criticized it need to re-read Romans 8 where we are told that the Spirit intercedes for us. This is a song where He will do that for you, if you will just let Him. I have lived through some highs AND lows in the two months I've had this CD. Trust me on this--pray before hitting Track 11 and then sing along with the girls. He will not let you down. There's much, much more to this song than meets our frail eyes and ears.
Enjoy this one. These ladies have been at the top of their game ever since Steady On!
