4.0 out of 5 stars Nice versions of classic hymns., November 2, 2005

By	H. Hess (Elizabethtown, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like classic hymns that are not jazzed up then this is for you. I really enjoy how the music is very simple - nothing electric. it is a very good CD when you want a break from other Christian pop music.

However, there are a few things I did not like which is why I only gave it 4 stars. First I did not like the Amazing Grace version. It's just a personal preference but I felt like it was trying to be jazzed up and it did not work for me. And second, I was dissapointed that 3 of the songs on this album are repeats from the Hiding Place album.

What I found great was the literature inside the case that gave a history of where each song orginiated from and how they have been altered slong the way to come to be versions that we sing in church. That was well done.

All in all it's a great CD. But, I have the Hiding Place which is a great CD and if you have to choose between the 2 I would choose Hiding Place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Collection, November 27, 2005

By	Elijah Sarkesian (Ellijay, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In response to the person below me's review about the repeat tracks from Hiding Place, if you're interested, you should know that this is a "Greatest Hits" album of sorts (hence the name Greatest Hymns). Three of the songs do not appear on previous Selah albums; the rest come from Be Still My Soul, Press On, and Hiding Place.

It is a good album, though, and if you are either a completist or someone who doesn't own any of Selah's albums, Greatest Hymns is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best cd I'v e bought in a long time, March 19, 2006

By	A. Geffert (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Because of mp3s readily being available, I have found I no longer buy the whole cd but just my favorites. After listening to the previews, I bought the whole cd and am so glad I did A cross between updated classic hymns and soulful sound, Selah has outdone themselves on this one. Some songs I have to play again from the emotion they stir. An outstanding compilation with a tremendous sound of harmony and haunting depth of heart.
