5.0 out of 5 stars "I Don't Wish That I Am Doing I Am Doing" -- Thanks to God!, January 25, 2002

By	J. Walker "kindrhino1" (Marietta, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What an incredible collection of music! Sara's voice is a beautiful instrument for Christ, whether she's singing softer ballads ("Rain") or more rock-oriented songs like the title track. My wife bought me this disc for our anniversary. The title track addressed some issues in my own life in such a powerful way that I cried when I first listened! I have since listened again and again. I was disappointed with the short length, but I cannot let that stop me from giving this disc top ranking. If you want to bathe in the light of the Lord, listen to Sara. She has much to say and share without sugar-coating or sounding like your average CCM artist. She is lyrically and musically sound, with all her efforts being used for the glorification of God. And what glorification! A truly beautiful work. You'll be happy with this disc, I believe, if you are searching for someone who talks truthfully about God and God's relationship in her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul touching, August 5, 2002

By	Heather Hamilton (Westland, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This CD is definitely worth listening to over and over. I listened to it every time I needed to sleep the 10 days I was in the hospital waiting to deliver my premature daughter. Sara is certainly not boring, but her voice is soothing and easy to listen to. She's the Sarah McLaughlin for Christian music. Very poignant and soul searching! I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Inspiring!, June 5, 2003

By	Yervant Kutchukian (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I cannot say enough about this album, which is now being offered in a second release. Unlike many albums, each song on "Past the Wishing" is a gem. Sara Groves has an amazing ability to touch people's hearts. Having heard her in concert, her Christian humility reminds me that we are all works in progress. The songs on this album are a testament to the fact that though we fall short and have many imperfections, God is doing amazing works in our lives and leading us up in His ways. Not only is every melody a beautiful work of art, but the lyrics to each song are full of meaning. Sara Groves' music has been such a blessing in my life. In difficult moments, songs from this album have given me much encouragement and comfort. This is one of my all-time favourite albums!
