5.0 out of 5 stars
Album of the Year!, October 27, 2004
Ok - if you ONLY listen to Christian music, you may not find this a very helpful review. I spent most of the years of my life AVOIDING Christian music because the majority is over-produced, bubblegum music with a good message and horrible music.
Third Day, Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, and Jeremy Camp have all succeeded in proving to me that some Christian music can have both a positive message and be good music. However, this album, from song 1 to 13, rocks! It is not all power-music, in fact most of it is very melodic, but the music is very well done, and the messages are some of the best I've heard. Based on this, I would rank this as the single best Christian album I have heard. Every song is a winner in its own right, but it isn't all the same. This artist has a great career ahead of him!

Strong worship album from up and coming artist, October 25, 2004
I must admit that the first time I heard this album I was not overly impressed. But, now that I have had a chance to listen to it for awhile I really enjoy it. It is full of excellent worship songs with very strong lyrical content. Jeremy Camp clearly demonstrates why he is considered one of the rising stars in Modern Christian Music.
The best songs on the album are "Trust in You", "Beautiful One", "Walk by Faith", and "Revive Me". I particularly like "Revive Me". The story behind the song is inspirational, and the lyrics reveal the artist's heart, and his love for God.
Unlike some others reviewers I don't care much for some of the other cover songs that is performs, such as "Enough" and "Worthy of All Praise". The original versions, and those found on the Passion CDs are much better.
I recommend this album to any Jeremy Camp fans - if you don't already own it. For others who are looking for a great modern worship album, this is a great choice.

Worship at its Finest, January 29, 2005
Artists releasing worship CD's seems to be the trend of the last few years. While I am often leery of people jumping on bandwagons to make a quick buck, these projects have a true heart of worship. This CD is no exception.
It starts out with a song I've used in leading worship for a long time myself. I had never heard "Trust in You" recorded before, however. I love this version of it, and that song alone was enough to convince me to buy it.
The CD doesn't go downhill from there at all, by any means. It moves into some fresh worship choruses like "Beautiful One," "Enough," and "Wonderful Maker." Jeremy Camp had his hand in writing 5 songs on this CD, including "Walk by Faith" from his first CD and the title song. I'm still not a fan of "Carried Me" stylistically, but the lyrics, recognizing God's hands in trials, are amazing.
Over all, this CD keeps the beat up and the pace going, showing you can rock and worship at the same time.
With a good mix of original and familiar worship choruses, this CD fits well into the modern worship genre. I took a chance when I got it, and I'm very glad I did.
