While it's not terribly complicated, FFH's brand of hooky pop, blended harmonies and to-the-heart lyrics carries a genuine appeal. And FFH sticks with its sincere approach (with a slight twist) on the group's fourth major-label release. Sure lead singer Jeromy Deibler and guitarist Michael Boggs have a knack for writing great guitar-driven melodies ("It's a Good Day," "Ready for a World," "His Love Goes on Forever"). But FFH now leans heavily on piano as a foundation. From the opening "You Found Me" and "Good to Be Free," to the hymn-like "If Not for Christ," to the closing "Here I Am," the group does more than just tap its creative toes into the water. With impressive maturity, the group boasts lyrics that reflect an evangelistic perspective, while not sugar-coating the sometimes harsh realities of the Christian life in the spotlight. It's that earnest transparency that makes FFH a winner once again. --Michael Lyttle

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Doing What They do Best, November 8, 2003

By	Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

FFH has made a mark in the Christian music scene with their focus on songs that explore the God/man relationship. They stick to that form here, with great results.

Their heart of love for God because of what He's done for us comes through in every song. They celebrate God saving us in "You Found Me" and "Good to be Free." Reminders that we can still sing in the middle of trials is the basis of "It's a Good Day" and "Never Gonna Be Alone." "Ready to Fly" and "Ready for a World" focus on a longing to leave this world of eternity with God. A personal favorite from this disc is the simple praise song "I'll Join the Rocks." Jeremy wrote and sings the love songs "Waltz for Jennifer," and the album ends with a pray of repentance with "Here I Am."

The lyrics are simple, and you won't be getting any new theological insights by listening to this disc. But that's not FFH's focus. The simple truths focused on here will encourage you and help you lift your eyes to praise God. That's a noble goal since it's great practice for eternity.
