Ever since Bill and Gloria Gaither started the "homecoming" series in 1991, it seems like every video just gets better. "Kennedy Center Homecoming: A Celebration of Our Faith and Heritage" is certainly no exception. Such songs as "Bless His Holy Name" with Andre Crouch in his first Gaither Video appearance, "He Hideth My Soul", "Somebody Loves Me", "It is No Secret", "God Bless America", "Heaven's Joys Await", "Jesus The Waymaker" and so many others represent the great spiritual and musical heritage of the American people. And just about everyone showed up for this one too. We enjoy Sue Dodge, The Martins, Lillie Knauls, Janet Paschal, The Goodmans, The Gaither Vocal Band, Ivan Parker, Andre Crouch, Joel Hemphill, Joy Gardner, Ann Downing, and about 100 others "homecoming friends" from the beautiful Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

This video stirred my heart like no other has in a long time. I found myself crying, rejoicing, laughing, and just praising God for such a wonderful heritage. Thank you, Bill and Gloria for keeping this great treasure before our eyes, figuratively, spiritually, and now literally.

I picked this up at the local Christian Bookstore, having grown a taste for the music from the relentless hours my parents watched these reruns on TNN. Now at 22 I'm a huge fan of old time gospel music. Be sure to get the copy that includes the bonus tape "Backstage". There is an acoustic (piano/voice) version of a song the Katina's wrote for their late mother that's awesomely inspiring. The backstage tape ends with about 20 minutes of Andrae Crouch and the gang around a piano just jamming. Pick this one up for sure!

This may be the best of all the Gaither DVDs. Nothing is better than I've Just Seen Jesus with Larnelle Harris and Sandy Patty. You must own this one.The Mystery of God's Will: Living the Christian Life as Seen in Ephesians

Without a doubt, this is the best! The quality of the music and performance is wonderful. I have watched this video many times and still sit on the edge of my chair through-out.

This tape is so good. I would like to be able to send it to all my family and friends. This tape made me so proud to be an American, and a Christian. Everything is excellant. Thank you for the vision to tape in our Nations capital.

A fantastic collection of inspirational songs by the Gaither Homecoming Friends. I have over 75 0f the Gaither videos and I would rate this one in the top 10.

I have seen most all of the Gaither videos and love each and every one. I will eventually own all of them as does both my brother and sister. Vestal Goodman is my most favorite, but Lillie and all others, especially Karen Christmas inspire me to greatness. Being from Marietta, Ga. should also give you a clue as to who I think is the absolute pinnacle of beauty.

This dvd is full of great singers singing old hymns and praise songs. It is uplifting and makes me smile. A definite toe tapper and a good homecoming.

This is another great Gaither Homecoming DVD. The homecoming singers really put fourth a lot of effort to sing about the greatness of our nation. Anyone who loves good Gospel Music will love this DVD and its celebration of what a great country we live in. Especially loved Vestal Goodmans God Bless America. I didn't care much for Mark Lowry's humor. Some of his remarks are crude.

I truly enjoyed almost every song. This is one of my favorites. I listen to it, and share it as often as I can. There is nothing really spectacular, but the harmony of songs is unusually good. The only kind of "Oh" is when the Martins sing their Medely. It is well done, but just a bit short in feeling, I think. That is to say, I did not have time to prepare for such a change in pace. Yet, the audience liked it, and I think that were I in the audience I just might not have noticed the abrupt change so much. At times, I get rather relaxed in my recliner and the sounds become thearaputic and the songs such a blessing that I suppose I was not expecting to be awakened by a different beat. Aside from this meandering, (the hour is late), I really have nothing bad to say about this album. I love it, and I think you will too.

I really do like the Martins. Honest!
