I first heard of this album from a friend who played the sheet music in our Primary as prelude and postlude music. "I am a Child of God" and "Oh, What do you do in the Summertime" are my favorite tracks, but that may just be because they are the ones I first experienced. I also really enjoy "My Heavenly Father Loves Me". That is my favorite Primary song, and the addition of a sonorous and grounding cello through parts of the arrangement compliments the lilting melody played in the upper registers of the piano. I finally bought the album as a Christmas gift to myself and my family. My two little ones, ages 2 and 5, really respond to the lullaby quality of the tones that help to invite the Spirit of God. My husband is often gone from home as he works full-time and is also a full-time student- so I listen to it nearly every day, and it soothes my frazzled, "stay-at-home mom" nerves ("Music soothes the savage Mom"). I definitely recommend this album and am looking forward to giving it as a gift to my family and friends. I hope it will do as much for them as it does for me. I have not heard other albums of Paul Cardall, so I cannot speak to how this album relates to his other works, but I look forward to having that opportunity in the future as I am able to purchase other albums. This album alone definitely encourages me to take the plunge and purchase other, unheard music by the same composer/arranger.

I first heard this randomly while listening to film scores on Pandora.com.

As soon as I heard it I fell in love with the song and immediately purchased the album.

I just love the music and the piano and the way Paul has done the music just speaks volumes. I absolutely love this album!

Don't think twice, just click "BUY"! :)

I'll admit I don't own the whole album but I have the song "I am a child of God" and it is truly a remarkable musical achievement. One of the things that make it unique is the subtle background sound of children playing, shouting and screaming (it's done so tastefully and is faded in and out throughout the piece). It enhances the dream like serenity of this song and it reminds me of a memory reel from a movie.

This piece makes your spirit slow down, stand still and pause as Paul Cardall must have had a really calm place in his spirit to be able to write this composition.
