Great CD for what it sets out to do...

"This is NOT the CD you'll want to buy if you...A. Are expecting any new music (It has none.)B. Are looking for a comprehensive collection of early hits from Amy (Look for a boxed set within the next year to accomplish that goal.)C. Are looking for an album that has a logical flow or sequence (This collection was put together by RCA, who only owns the rights to some of Amy's songs. They are not all that concerned with such things.)With that said, however, this CD does indeed find its way into my CD player quite frequently.For new fans, its a neat way to see what capabilities (or at least a few of them) Amy has musically.For those of us who have been fans for awhile, it's a nice collection of songs that we love. And, yes, they've been remastered so they truly sound better than ever....Thanks for reading,
Chad"
Old songs, new collection. Nothing new, though.

"This is not an album of singles nor is it an album of greatest hits through her career. It is, however, an album of personal love songs to Jesus. These songs are from her early career in the late '70s and early '80s. Think of it as a synopsis of her born again Christian life. Very uplifting simple songs you can sing along to. This is like an extension of her THE COLLECTION album. There really wasn't a need for this album but it's nice to have just because it's different songs in different order."
She forgot to put "El Shaddai" on here, but...

"Still, not a bad lineup at all! If you're only familiar with the bouncy pop and Mrs. Vince Gill era stuff (not that there is anything wrong with that), this is a side of Amy Grant you'll be pleased to discover. The CD borrows a lot from Amy's early albums which, like many artists' early releases, contains a raw, hungry, stripped down, enthusiastic, I-can't-beleive-I'm-making-a-record-I'm-having-so-much-fun spirit that makes every song worth discovering or discovering again."
