"One time I asked a good friend of mine what her favorite worship cd was at the time. First she said it was probably some Delirious cd. Then she remembered this one. We put on the last song and right away I had this feeling there was something special about this cd. One night I was all alone with God and feeling very joyful and thankful. I played this cd through twice and when it was over something incredible happened. I felt an overwheliming sense of gratitude to God. I fell to the floor and tried to express it to Him somehow. I started praying in English but instantly, in a split-second, my Enlglish words could not express how I felt and for the first time in my life I began speaking in tongues (or my 'prayer language'). What a release! Somehow the language of my heart was able to bypass my mind and flow directly out from my heart to God. I remember thinking how I hadn't even been diligently seeking this or anything. In fact, I didn't even know how I felt about it for sure, coming from a conservative background. But it just happened. And it went on and on for a long time. This is simply one way God used this cd in my life. This cd is a tool that God can use. In me He used it to bring more freedom, and I believe that it carries with it a powerful impartation that will supernaturally bless anyone who hears it. And besides all that, it's just straight up good music. I would give it 5 stars even if God didn't use it so drastically in my life. It's my opinion, based on experience, that this is the best cd to start with if you're just getting into Jason Upton's music or want to bless someone else with it. After I heard his music I wanted so many people to hear it and be blessed by it as I had been. I gave one friend 'Dying Star' as an introduction to Jason Upton and he wasn't that into it. I couln't believe it. My sister later got him to listen to 'Faith' which grew on him and now he likes 'Dying Star' more. I think 'Dying Star' is amazing, and God used it supernaturally in my life too, but it's just different, as is 'Jacob's Dream' and 'Remember.' They're all wonderful and powerful in their own way, but I strongly recommend starting here. Kind of like if you were going to get into C.S. Lewis it would probably be wise to start with 'Mere Christianity.'"

6 STARS IF POSSIBLE

"WOW!!! Jason Upton truly has a ministry of music. This is music that speaks to my spirit. There are no 3 chord/contemporary 'worship' cliches here. This brother is focused on God and God alone.



I was first introduced to his music on a men's retreat and this really ushered in the Presence of God that had been lacking thus far.



As a fan of CCM & general r&r, this has been fresh breath of life, restoring and uplifting me. This is an artist/brother that we should be lifting up in prayer that God may continue to annoint & use. He takes you to the deep places that FEW contemporary artits will.

"I am actually purchasing my second of this album after loaning it to a friend and not getting it back. It is a wonderful CD when you are struggling to keep on trusting and believing."
