4.0 out of 5 stars
Acceptable collection, May 28, 2009
This review is from: Guideposts (Reader's Digest) Music Presents Then Sings My Soul: The Greatest Hymns of the Church (Audio CD)
I bought this set under the assumption that it was the same set released by Reader's Digest in the early 1980's, but this is an entirely different set. Even with that, it is a very acceptable set of both traditional and some contemporary Christian music. Only half of one of the four discs is given over to contemporary Christan music, and the rest is more traditional fare. It is not as good as some of the Reader's Digest's sets, but it is still a very good deal for those who enjoy primarily traditional Christian music.
