5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting Spiritual Tunes, February 28, 2002

Great album by Gladys Knight. A model of classic praise music. Has become a CD that I put on to uplift me in times of sorrow. I have listened to the CD many, many times and I'm not tired of it yet. Although many of the songs are not her own creations, Knight performs them brialliantly. This album was released after Knight's conversion and entrance into the LDS Mormon church, but this album is not Mormon music. This album is simply great Christian music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Spiritual, April 3, 2000

This review is from: Many Different Roads (Audio CD)

I frequently review, among other things, spritual and religious music for a local orginization and have fell in love again with Ms. Gladys Knight. In this Grammy nominated album, Knight has introduced some new music and some "oldies but goodies" to her fans of decades ago, as well as new fans yearning for some music with a breath of freash air. I now have found myself humming tunes from the CD all the time.

Opening with "Mercy's Arms", Knight's strong voice resounds conversion to something very close to her heart. I could tell this project meant a lot to her. Chosing a Juile de Azevedo piece was an excellent decision. deAzevedo has long since been a master of inspiriational music both in lyric and in music. I was pleased to see those two forces join talents in this project. Among my other favorites: "Open Your Eyes," and "Jesus Love is Like a River".

To those that did not feel this was a "Christian" album. You were right. However, to your loss, you missed the point of this work. These songs are described in Knight's own words as "inspirational." They have the ability to inspire all, not just the Christian. This is a great album. I enjoy a lot of music, and have reviewed many CD's. This one is now among my favorites. Gladys --- we are awaiting your next one with great anticipation.

This is the first Gladys Knight CD we've ever purchased. I've always loved her voice and the lyrical content of this CD was of greater interest to me. I enjoy many types of music, including Christian music, so this fit well into my collection. It's soft and strong all at the same time. I have since purchased this for two members of my family that enjoy Christian/Gospel music as well as Gladys Knight herself. I can safely say that you don't have to be limited to Christian music to enjoy the CD. The music is great and she's as great as she always is. I thoroughly enjoy listening to this CD. I'm so glad she put this out.
