5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE ALBUM! Great Songs & Great Artists, November 20, 2002

By	"qbookmiller" (Nashville, TN. United States) - See all my reviews

If you are tired of mediocre tunes with lousy lyrics, get this album. I loved it. Not only is the music first quality (produced by the Grammy Award winning team of Buster & Shavoni- who have produced Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams) the songs have real depth of meaning to them. I listened to this album over and over during a "40 Days of Purpose" spiritual journey and it really lifted my spirits when I was going through some tough times. I love the different styles used on this album - pop, rock, country, R& B etc. My favorite songs are the ones by Kevin Max of DC Talk, Nichole C Mullen, and Natalie Grant. But the unexpected surprise was "My Life Will Worship You." What a song!I found that these songs really reinforced the truths of THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE book by Rick Warren. I'm giving this album along with the book to a bunch of family and friends at Christmas. It's a great combo. Together they've inspired me to a new level of spiritual growth. I hope they record more in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Critique in context, July 26, 2004

By	D. Budzik (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Buy this album. If you enjoy different kinds of modern worship music, buy this album. Other less-than-enthusiastic reviewers have neglected to point out that this music was performed during the Purpose Driven Life simulcast that thousands of churches participated in across the country when Rick Warren's book first appeared. Those performances were solid. Pay special attention to "My Soul In Your Hands" (powerful vocals) and "Reach One More for Jesus" (powerful message, especially if you've read the book and know where how the phrase relates to Rick Warren's father).

3.0 out of 5 stars Some what disappointed ):, October 17, 2003

By	Kathy (Port Orchard, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I heard the book was awesome and couldn't wait to hear the CD. I think it's just because I wasn't familiar with the artists but I did like the lyrics.
