5.0 out of 5 stars This is Amy's legacy, November 28, 2007

By	J. SHARP (Alabama - United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Undoubtedly, Age to Age, Unguarded, and Heart in Motion will probably be lauded when she's gone but "Lead Me On" is Amy Grant's magnum opus and her legacy to the church and the world.

This is arguably one of the three best Christian albums ever cut (it was ranked as such by CCM magazine a few years back) and easily one of the best ever made across all genres. Confession, introspection, joy, fear, brokenness, poetry, anger - the gamut of human expression is here. The honesty and commitment are breathtaking. And there are some lyrical sledgehammers on this thing that still knock me to the floor some nineteen years later.

I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amy Grant at her best and most honest, April 11, 2008

By	Stephen Reginald (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. It's honest and true and all the songs seem to dovetail from one to the other. The simplicity of some of the arrangements and the emotion in the vocals is just amazing. "Faithless Heart" is one of the most heartfelt songs I've ever heard; it just breaks your heart. It's amazing that Lead Me On came after the enourmously successful, but more pop-oriented Unguarded. It's depth and complexity is lighyears away from that album. Of all the albums that Amy Grant has recorded, this may be the one that will live on long after she's left this world.

4.0 out of 5 stars When real life becomes music, March 11, 2008

One of the best and personal album Amy Grant has ever released. Not only the music styles and arrangements are great and diversified, but we're here before a very honest capacity to put simple experiences of life into writing. An amazing album where Amy shares with us a clear and very honest approach of the main topics we're faced with on a daily basis. I love the lyrics of "What about the Love?". That's exactly what it's all about: love. A song every single person, wether believer or not, should read and make his/hers. Amy puts here the level of Christ-like values & standards at his highest expression, maybe expressed in a different way than to what we're used to hear inside church walls, but extremely faith-challenging. I feel concerned any time I listen to "Faithless heart", not only as a child of God but also as a 32 years old husband and father. I'm not surprised that this album was critically acclaimed when it was released back in 1988. Amy Grant was at the top of her artistic talent and had become a mother for the first time. And still, how mature and honest she was! I rarely like an album from 1st to last track, but this is to me one of the best Christian album ever. I know many other artists have dared to explore the same area but this artist is for sure a pioneer on her own. Our Christian walk isn't always made of successes but also of moments of trials that shape and change us in order to become stronger and also wiser. Not only for ourselves but for the way we look at others.
You won't only be delighted by this album but also spiritually and musically enriched ;-)
