"From the moment I slid the disc into the player, I was thrilled with this project. Fred is still as brilliant as he has always been.The album opens with "His Name Is Jesus," an upbeat, uplifting gem. "A Strange Way to Save the World" is soothing to the soul, and follows the path of Fred's recent relaxed works. Marcus Cole helped pen the funky "Christmas Everyday," a quality track that only prepares you for the awesome "Suddenly". Perhaps the most memorable and inspirational song of the project is "It Took a Child to Save the World," playing on the irony of such a young Jesus making such a huge difference. "We Sing Glory" shines just as bright as those other tracks, while "He Is the Reason" closes out the album in good spirits.To sum it up - I have listened to Brian McKnight, Boyz II Men, & Take 6's holiday works since I can remember. Fred will go right on that shelf next to them, and be pulled off every Christmas along with the others. This album is a must buy!"

"From the first track, Fred hammond approaches the thought of Christmas in a way that no one has thought of . The harmony of Fred Hammond with himself is just incredible and flows, and he also brings RFC in to tear the house up. I recommend this to anyone who loves, music , and Jesus. Oh yeah and you can rock this cd all year round it's that INCREDIBLE."
They need more stars for this album!!!

"I have bought this album 3 times!!! ( it always seems to come up missing) It is fantastic! a blessing to the musical ears that are tired of the same ol' Christmas songs we always hear, these songs have substance, and meaning and of course the are Word based and word laced! I listen to it all year it continually blesses me, but hey what can you expect from fred who I have affectionately titled "THE GREAT ONE" God Bless ten thousand stars!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Man I used to play holes in my Donald Lawrence Christmas CD. That was until I purchased this CD....MAN! Fred is a bad man! I remember I played this CD everyday after I purchased it. Even after Christmas! I'm talking like 6-7 months after Christmas(although not everyday), especially "He Is The Reason". This CD is sure to bless your soul and remind you of the true reason for the season. "His Name Is Jesus" is a wonderful beginning to this project. It's another song that can be played year round. My favorites are "Go Tell It On The Mountain", "Just Remember", "Christmas Everyday", and "He Is The Reason". I love these songs. These are the best songs on this album. When you listen to this album, you'll know why. Some of these songs sound like he wrote them for Commissioned, especially "We Sing Glory". "God Has Been So Good" is sort of a laid-back groove and it's great traveling music. All the songs on this album are great and when you listen, you'll find yourself continuously hitting the repeat button. If you're looking for some great Christmas music-whether you want to groove or just think about the birth of Jesus- this album will not disappoint. Be Blessed"
