Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Singer/songwriter Sandra McCracken pauses from her normal folk-pop for her fourth album, a (mostly) quiet collection of hymns. Applying her delicate touch to texts reaching back hundreds of years, McCracken nods toward her previous work on the Indelible Grace series while marking a path of her own. Highlights include "I Boast No More," featuring Grammy-nominated and Americana Music Award-winning artist Buddy Miller, and the stunning original "Rock Of Ages (When The Day Seems Long)." Eschewing religious polemic, McCracken's approach is both disarming and refreshing, and the listener is left feeling the album isn't so much a side project as it is an artist taking a deep breath before embarking on the next step in her musical journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inspirational music, January 19, 2009

By	D. L. Stelzig (Gastonia, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sandra McCracken's offering is one of my favourites. It is in her usual folk-acoustic style. All of her arrangements are creative and interesting. I never get the feeling that this song is just more of the same. She does redo a few arrangements from her work with Indelible Grace, but these too are good listening. On top of it all, she gets the Christian message, and come comes across in her music and in her choices of old hymns.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful and rich, July 14, 2008

Here is a wonderful work of art! God honoring, and full of praise of His grace. Should we be surprised Derek Webb's wife sings a beautiful and rich tune?

By	Lindele Elliott (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a tremendous CD, full of original and creative music, and lyrics old and deep. For those who are weary of shallow contemporary Christian pop music, this CD is balm for the soul.
