Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The newest in the Wow series of contemporary Christian music is as slick-sounding and solid as its successful predecessors. The two-disc set begins with a solid alterna-anthem (DC Talk's plaintively overwrought but super-catchy "Into Jesus") and ends with a kiss (Fernando Ortega's inspiring, Nashville-tinged "Lord of the Eternity"). The compilation's 33 tracks really do run the gamut: the polished, pure pop of Avalon and Point of Grace; Christian swing music; the atmospheric, spiritual sounds of Maire Brennan and Jaci Velasquez; the spirited belting of rocker Jennifer Knapp; a dance-pop act from the U.K.; the veteran confessional singer-songwriter folk of Amy Grant; Christian ska; and the late Rich Mullins's moving, visionary gospel-folk. CCM stalwarts and newcomers alike will be pleased by this release. --Mike McGonigal

USA Today
The Wowseries ... is a fine multi-label introduction to the genre, featuring such mainstream commercial forces as dc Talk, Amy Grant and Jars Of Clay as well as secret weapons like Michelle Tumes and Rebecca St. James.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Awesome, March 1, 2000
By A Customer
This c.d. is the best of the WoW's yet. If you like Newsboys, Jars of Clay, DC Talk, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Jaci Velaquez, and all the rest, you will adore this c.d. It starts out with a bang with DC Talk's "Into Jesus", Newsboys' "Entertaining Angels", and Jars of Clays'"Crazy Times". It ends really slow and sweet, and it has three bonus tracks on it from new christian singers. It has a lot of different types on it, from swing,(the W's song,"The Devil is Bad")Pop,(Out of Eden's,"If you really knew") and a little bit of fun(Veggie Tale's, "His Cheeseburger"). It's got some slow songs for stuff like bible studies, but it also has some rockin' rhythms on it if you just feel like getting up and dancing! You could argue with some of the choices in it(I frankly think they shouldn't have chosen MWS's Give me Love.)But overall this is a really good collection. I wouldn't suggest it to people who are really stuck on tradition, but it's good for teenagers, young adults, and the young at heart. Some of it sounds something like TLC, Backstreet Boys, and Alanis Morisette, for those that normally listen to secular stuff. If you're just getting into christian music, this would give you a wide variety of musicians and styles. This is the c.d. in my collection I listen to the most, and I would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys listening to good music that praises Christ Jesus!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best compilation of Christian music to date, September 22, 1999
By A Customer
I bought this album without prior knowledge of any of these songs, except "Into Jesus" and "For God So Loved the World". I couldn't believe how much I love this collection, the first CD especially. These are definitely some of my favorite songs ever: "Agnus Dei" (goose bumps, everytime I hear it), "Entertaining Angels - 'I hold my breath, and wait for you to breathe' " (powerful), "Deeper", "Steady On", "Testify to Love", I can't seem to get enough of these songs. There are other great songs too. Thank you Wow for showing me these great songs. I didn't know there was this much good music in the Christian circle.

A must for any contemporary Christian music lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise The Lord, December 10, 1999
By Ross Beitzel (Lexington, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This is a great CD. I just got it and i'm already hooked. The best thing about it is that i listen to it as I Fall asleep and it reminds me to pray for all the great things God has done.
