This is the first CD I've bought by Debbie Friedman after hearing much about her music but never actually hearing her sing. Each successive time I listen to it, the energy of the music, her voice, and the beautiful words of the songs just keep growing on me. I love the fact that the words are printed inside the cover - I'm beginning to sing-along. It's an album of songs that just makes me feel good. I'm buying additional copies to give my grown daughters for their birthday. I think it will grow on them too and become a favorite "classic" of ours over the years.

The depth of music is terrific. Truly Religious FOLK music suitable for children and families to enjoy the meaning of GOD in music without the syrupy religiousity that pervades so much of religious music

Ms. Friedman has a lovely voice and some of the songs aren't bad, but the producer ought to be flogged. Every cliche in the book is here: strings, cheesy synthesizers, angel choir, saxophone solos. It's a real shame.

I'm sorry I spent my money on it.

I bought this CD after hearing Ms. Friedman perform recently. Until the Morning Comes is a powerful song she wrote with Tamara Cohen for a sick friend and I have been moved each time I hear it.

The instrumentals do not detract from her other songs, for me,even though I heard a number of these performed with only 4 musicians.

I wanted "non Jesus" spiritual music. Well, I got that but not much more. The arrangments are more suited for the elevator than the living room. The lyrics are predictable, and Friedman's voice sounded a bit flat to me. On two tracks it sounds like she is trying to hit notes out of her range. One positive note...There was one fabulous track 'Sarahs Song' which is wonderful. It was refreshing, and at least I liked one track.. Sadly, I cannot recommend this.
