5.0 out of 5 stars Overlooked, but great, April 5, 2001

I find that even among Michael W. Smith fans, this album is overlooked, which is a real shame. It's definitely an 80's album, but its songs are timeless.

The only song I'd heard from this album before I bought it was the last one, Hosanna. Still, it has some great moments on it talking about everything from God forgiving our sin to two great songs about Jesus' return. There are also pure praise songs, songs about relationships, and two instrumental cuts.

Granted, the musical style of the album sets it clearly in the 80's. But it's still a fun album to listen to with great messages. All fans should get this album.

I just ordered this CD to complete my Michael W. Smith collection. After hearing everything he has done before AND after this album, I wasn't expecting this CD to go above and beyond the normal excellence of a Smith production. And some might argue that it doesn't. But somehow I feel that this one is special. I have been a Christian since I can remember and am 18 now, but as I listened to this album for the first time a few days ago, there was a tugging at my soul. Keep in mind I have every other CD of Michael's (excluding the Xmas records), and many of his songs are touching. However, this CD, made in 1984, moved me like nothing before. I have longed to hear a song about Christ's second coming so earnest as "I am Sure". "All I Need To Say" is an extremely sentimental and thought provoking love ballad. The whole album is fantastic and most of it is very praise oriented and up beat. "A Way" is a nice energetic anthiem with great harmony. I think my favorite song might be "I'm Up". The words express the high that we get off of salvation and God's love. This record is truly one of a kind. Buy it and be happy. God Bless Smitty!

Like alot of the other reviews have said, this is one of MWS's best, and yet it is so overlooked. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately my parents lost the cassette years ago, and it is a while since i've heard it. I'm going to buy to hear it again, because it is just great. Maybe the fact that you hardly ever heard of it was part of its allure. It wasn't played to the death. I don't know many people who like it or even know of it. The songs are wonderful, and I as a teenager found a special place in my heart. "I am sure", "Words I Need to Say", "The End of the Book" bring back great memories and are thoughtful, inspiring. If you haven't heard this album - get it!!!
