This review is from: Music of the Spirit: The 1994 Pax Christi Ceremony (Audio CD)

This is a bit of an oddity. Amy Grant was awarded the Pax Christi award in 1994, and this is an album of the music that was played that night. About half of the album is quite lovely choir music. Lovely, but let's face it, you aren't buying this for the choir. Amy is in fine voice, and she sings simple versions of some of her songs. El Shaddai is good, We Believe in God was her single at the time, and it comes out well also. Ultimately, if you are looking for an unfound gem, a secret Amy Grant album, well, this is not going to do it for you. If you are an obsessive completist, then definitely pick this up. The rest of you can probably miss it.
