"I absolutely LOVE this CD!!!!!! The first 3 weeks I got it, I couldn't go to school without listening to it first. YES LORD and MIGHTY GOD are my JAMS!!! They get me excited no matter where I am or how I'm feeling. It even takes me back to those old Church services with songs like THANK YA JESUS! And don't get me started on GLORY HALLELUJAH!! This CD is truely a blessing to me and I'm sure it'll be one to you also. (No BOOTLEG COPIES!!!!!!!)"

"Count It All Joy is a great first project for Darrel Petties and Strength In Praise. I have the DVD (only four songs though) and they are an energetic group of young people. If you are looking for church choir or university gospel choir repertoire, this is the CD. The single Count It All Joy is jumpin.' The vamp features the splitting of parts, (i.e. - sopranos come in first, then altos, you get the point). The sound is fresh, and doesn't sound dated, as sometimes some songs that have split parts can sound dated or overused.
"Glory Hallelujah" is another energetic song. I wish it was a little longer though. Smokie Norful steps in and sings "It Is Well," a great modern rendition of the hymn. For those who like old school, down home, country renditions, "Thank Ya Jesus" and "I'm On My Way" are for you. I look forward to hearing more from Darrel Petties and SIP.
