Bought this album because of the last track "A Strange Way to Save the World" -- a very thoughtful and stirring song.

A shimmering and full offering

"Packed with those famous 4Him harmonies, this Christmas offering is simply very easy to listen to. The new songs have potent messages and balance the mix. The classics are revamped just enough to sound fresh, but are still comfortably recognizable. Highlights for me are the crisp "The Little Drummer Boy"; the only version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?" that I actually like; and the thoughtful "In Your Care".This collection is reverent but hardly somber, infused with the joy of the season, and the fabulous arrangements that make 4Him great."
This is one Hot group!

"I'm not much into contemporary christian music normally, but this group has what it takes to catch your attention quickly! This particular album is especially good, because they've managed to take traditional Christmas songs and make them sound new again. Andy, Kirk, Mark & Marty blend so well in their harmony. The news songs, in particular "A Strange Way to Save the World", are beautiful, and I was even moved to tears. I believe I'm a fan for life!"
Best Christmas album I've ever found

"This album contains several excellent arrangements of traditional Christmas songs that are very appealing, but the greatest part is the five original songs. I enjoy listening to them not only at Christmas but year-round. The vocals are excellent and the lyrics thought provoking."
Excellent

"4HIM's exquisite harmonies make The Season of Love a must-have Christmas album. 4HIM breathes new life into Christmas classics and contribute new originals that are destined to become classics. Up-tempo renditions of numbers such as "Do You Hear What I Hear" may initially seem strange to those used to a more traditional sound, but 4HIM's innovation brings a freshness to oft-rendered favorites. They effectively capture the warm spirit of Christmas without ever seeming cliched. The biggest highlight of the disc is the closer, "Strange Way to Save the World", a rumination on Christ's birth from Joseph's viewpoint that drives home the true meaning of the "season of love."

Our Family's Favorite Christmas Album

"My title says it all. We get this album out on Thanksgiving while we're putting up our million trees and listen to it throughout the season. We've lost the cd in our move and are now back for another. 4 Him's incredible harmonies are so highlighted here in this album it just really feels like "Christmas" when you listen to it. I wasn't sure about "Do You Hear What I Hear" since it's one of my favorites and they do an upbeat version, but I really like it now and find myself singing it throughout the year. Make sure this one is in your collection of Christmas albums. I'm sure it will become a family favorite."
