4.0 out of 5 stars A great guitar album, September 26, 2003

As a DJ who has worked at a couple different radio stations, I can recommend this disk without any reservations. The first song, a familiar hymn to those of us raised in VBS and Sunday School, They'll Know We Are Christians, is a song that I had not been all that fond of until I heard this version. The title track, a great song on its own, is improved by the addition of Mac Powell, lead singer of Third Day, and his unique voice. He blends well with Carolyn Arends and adds great feeling to the verse he sings. Non-christians will be able to appreciate this song as well, as it is not overtly a "Jesus song". The entire album is a good one for those who have avoided Christian music based on misconceptions of what Christian music sounds like. Teenagers who listened to the stations I worked at would request some of these songs, and parents won't mind hearing them.

I have listened to all of Carolyn's music since each recording came out. If I could have mixed my own CD, I would have chosen this recording EXACTLY! I love her gentle and talented voice on Reaching, and Go With God. The LIVE recordings are a great blend of everthing coming together at once. It's neat to hear the audience participation and other artists singing with her. Finally, the two new songs are outstanding! They'll Know We are Christians has such a cool guitar riff and blends some well known scripture into such a contemporary setting. I would love to see her come out with some music books. Overall, this recording is wonderful and such a treat for anyone who listen.

Carolyn Arends has such a smooth and soothing voice. I like all of her songs and have several of her CDs, but I especially like this CD. The first song is especially divinely inspired. Carolyn (and her team) do a new version of "They Will Know We are Christians By Our Love". While honoring the traditional hymn, they add a upbeat chorus and add verses from 1 Cor. 13 that make this song very special and endearing! Fabulous CD - and not simply a compilation of previous works! I ordered two more copies of the CD because I want that first song played at my wedding in the summer 2008!
