This CD is a best of from David Meece focusing on two of his previous releases, "7" and "Candle in the Rain." There are songs from other albums, but the main focus is on these two.

The CD opens with a new song, the powerful "God's Promises." The linear notes then reflect this theme by listing the promise of God each song represents. And there are some great songs and promises on this CD, too. "His Love was Reaching," a reminder that God is always there for us. "We Are the Reason," God loves us so much He sent His son to earth for us. "Early in the Morning," Jesus rose!

While there are only two songs that a die-hard fan might not already have, "God's Promises" and David's version of "One Small Child," this is still a wonderful collection to have. It's uplifting and comforting while being challenging and honest when it needs to be.

David Meece is one of my favorite artists. His CD's are still played quite frequently in my house. If you can find this one, you'll be glad you made the purchase.

I have been a David Meece fan for 15 years and this cd is definately his best ever. I believe this mostly because it is a compilation of some of his most inspirational songs, but also because of the first song on the cd. He is truely talented to be able to write such uplifting and beautiful songs. I would highly recommend this cd if you have heard David's music before, but I would recommend this mostly to those who have never listened to him before and want to get a taste of his music. Happy Listening!!!

David Meece is such an incredible talent with a POWERFUL and UPLIFTING music message. I can't stop playing this CD! I am eagerly anticipating his new CD in early-2002. David Meece is truly a gift from God (especially in these troubling times).

David Meece is by far the most underappreciated artist in music, not just Christian music, history. Its not that there is anyone out there that doesn't like him, its that there is nowhere near enough people out there (particularly those new -- last 5 years -- to Christian music) that know about him. Talent wise, I'm not aware of anyone in Christian music, who's better (and yes, I'm a big Michael W. Smith fan). Meece is a classically trained pianist, and some of that comes through in his music. His voice and range is as good as it gets this side of Elvis. The problem he's had is with labels and, to some extent, a lack of promotion.

Odyssey is a collection of songs from some of his earliest works -- including those in the '70s. It starts with an original arrangement, Rainbows in the Night, that is just awesome. He even includes some techno-pop (well done, that is) stuff on this and various other CDs that should draw the interest of even the hippest Christian music lover.

Buy Meece's classical stuff while you can. CD labels that produced these are no longer in business.

I got this CD on Satuday and have been listeing to it every chance I've had for the last five days. It is so awesome. It's very orchestral with a bit of rock thrown in. It reminds me of the really good music that comes from a really good Broadway show. These songs are from all different years and Meece brought them together to illustrate his journey of being a Christian. Each song represents one of God's promises. If you can find it, buy it.

For a long time I was a huge fan of David Meece. Unfortunately my life fell by the wayside. In that time I made a very big mistake...I got rid of all my favorite Christian music, including David's. Now that I'm back and pumped for Jesus, the music is unable to be found. Please bring David's music, all of it, back. There are many lost souls out there that would be greatly affected by his music. 'Odyssey' proves this about David Meece: he sings not for himself or any of his fans. David sings for Jesus. And we all can relate our feelings to what David puts into music and lyrics. David, wherever you are out there, fight long and hard to have your past recordings brought back.

This is a decent compilation of some of David Meece's best works. Some of his better songs didn't make the cut, unfortunately, and this album contains a few songs that probably shouldn't be there... but overall, it's a nice album -- especially if you can't get a hold of his others. In my opinion, "Learning to Trust" and "Once in a Lifetime" are his absolute best, but they're hard to come by.

I know David personally, and he told me that his albums are now out of print/publication, but some Christian bookstores still may have a few backstock -- and once they're gone, they're gone. David has many copies of his CD's that he'll sell at his concerts, so if you get a chance to see him live, go for it!

David's getting ready to record some new music, and has possibly found a new label willing to record/produce him. David also has expressed an interest in recording an "unplugged" album -- wouldn't THAT be cool?? Keep praying for our brother in the Lord, David Meece, and for his music ministry. God bless you.

Very nice; I especially enjoy, "One Small Child", of Jesus the Christ. Recommend for the adult contemporary christian music lover.

A great overview of David Meece's career. Fine songs sung with an intensity that is rare in any form of music today. Hopefully, this record company will see fit to re-release some of his older CDs and promote an "Unplugged" type CD. We saw him in concert a few years back when he sang by himself and his piano. That was an incredible performance both in terms of spiritual meaning and talent. Mr Meece is one of God's greatest spokesmen today and this particular package features a taste of every period in his amazing career.

Although I'm guided to type my reviews to focus on the album's content, I strongly want to request that this album should be reissued, right away, so I can have it. The reason is following:I want to let my niece and my friends listen "We Are The Reason," the song that I listened about 8 years ago. Once again, I need to have this CD in a week of 6/23/99. If any one who could help me with this information, please e-mail me. Thanks.
