David Wang, National Catholic Register, November 2001

Some people's voices just evoke a holiday feel. Susan has such a voice. [Her] best effort to date.

Product Description

This collection of original and familiar meditative songs about Advent and Christmas, presented simply and quietly to reflect the true nature of this season, represents my journey as I seek to quiet my soul and prepare to receive Jesus again this Christmas in my heart. Themes include reflections on the prophesies of Isaiah about the coming Messiah, the thoughts of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as she prepared to give birth to our Lord, and my own thoughts about Jesus coming to us as a vulnerable baby, later to give His life as Our Savior. Use this CD to escape the commercialism and noise of the holiday season, and let it lead you to a deeper spiritual experience this Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want new music for your Christmas Eve service..., November 27, 2002

By	NICK ALEXANDER (Milford, CT United States) - See all my reviews

I'm going to say something that most people wouldn't dare to--I recommend the purchase of this entire CD on the basis of one song. Not that the other songs aren't worth it, they are. But the one song, "Promised Son" is such a hit with the church that I sang it for, Christmas Eve two years ago. The whole church listened in raptured silence as I performed a cover of Susan Bailey's song. It was immediately accepted as part of the official Christmas canon, even though nobody has heard of indie artist Susan Bailey.

Promised Son is just one cut in this entirely wonderful album, a mainstay in my Christmas collection (even tho it's more for Advent). This gives the Christmas music an added boost, as it reminds you of the time you're in... celebrating the anticipation of the Birth of Jesus, and giving new dimensions to the holiday cheer.

If you want your Christmas Eve service to be different from the same old, same old, and have fantastic new songs, this album is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Susan Bailey gives us a wonderful Advent journey!, November 26, 2002

By	Nancy Krebs, Christian singer-songwriter (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews

Susan's first album, "Teach Me to Love" is a wonderful gift of original songs sung with conviction and beauty. She's now given us yet another gift--this one a journey through the Advent Season. Her songs are prayerful, hopeful and offer us an opportunity to turn inward and meditate. In these frenetic times, filled with too many obligations and commitments, this album should be in every car, and in every home...simply put it on and allow the melodies, rhythms and messages pervade us and persuade us to focus upon the true meaning of this season--this season of hope--this season of the coming Savior! Thank you Susan!
