"This album is very special to me because the music is inspiring and encourages me when I'm feeling down. I received this album as a gift from a friend of mine a few years ago. I am thankful she introduced me to Natalie Grant's music.



Here are my thoughts on each song and what the lyrics mean to me:



"What Other Man" - This song encourages me when I'm feeling blue about being single. In God I find everything I need. I know God has a special man he will bring into my life when the time is right, but for now I am satisfied because God really is the only "man" who can give me everything I need.



"Keep On Shining" - I feel encouraged when I listen to this song because it tells me that I can make it through anything, and God will always be there. He wants me to keep on shining for Him.



"Whenever You Need Somebody" - This is a beautiful song about true friendship. It reminds me of a few of my friends whenever I hear it.



"Anything" - God gives me the strength I need to do what is right and believe in myself. My ambition is to serve Him, and I believe that He will help me find my purpose in life.



"If the World Lost All its Love" - I sincerely believe that God's love is what keeps this universe together. The world could lose all its love, but God's love will never, ever go away no matter what. And that is such a comfort.



"Such a Wonder" - It amazes me that God would choose to walk on this earth with us and die the most horrible death invented by man so that we can spend forever with Him. I don't fully understand how He could love me that much when I am far from deserving. It is such a wonder.



"I Love to Praise" - I love to praise God. This song expresses a deep desire within me to continually praise Him.



"Only You" - Only God can do all of these things for me and everyone else.



"Don't Wanna Make a Move" - I try to live my life so that I don't make a move or do something without consulting God first. Of course I continually make mistakes and forget to ask Him, but whenever I do, He always leads me in the right direction. For that I am thankful.



"To Find My Strength" - My strength comes only from God. I am very weak and always unsure about what to do, but whenever I rely on God's strength, He fills me up with whatever I need to make it through a circumstance or achieve what I am working hard for.



"Finally Home" - I can't wait until heaven! I can't wait to run into my Father's arms! Our time on earth is short and when it's all over, I want to hear God say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." In comparison to eternity, our time on earth is the blink of an eye. How exciting to think about what God has planned for eternity! That is what I long for.



I hope you enjoy the music like I do. I met Natalie Grant about a year ago at a concert. She is a wonderful, inspiring person and is one of the most talented and beautiful singers in all of Christian music.



Please give this CD a try. The music is uplifting and very calming."

"Natalie Grant truly surprised me as this was the first CD of hers that I had the opportunity to buy. Here she allows us to see that she is in the league with the other popular Christian ladies AMY GRANT (no relation that I know of) and CRYSTAL LEWIS. Natalie has a very powerful and soulful voice which allows us to observe that she is blessed by GOD which is a feeling that pervades throughout the entire CD. 1)WHAT OTHER MAN is a midtempo that is a great start. Natalie really gets deep on this song as she shows the significance of loving and worshipping JESUS. Great start!2)KEEP ON SHINING is a kinda fast song that has a beautiful beat and is arranged great as well. Of course, there are great vocals here as well.3)WHENEVER YOU NEED SOMEBODY is a ballad that Natalie works well and is a duet with PLUS ONE. Though this song could be deemed secular, it still does a nice job of showing the love of GOD. It has a very powerful climax.4) ANYHTING is a fairly fast song that talks of self-empowerment through of course GOD. Once again, remarkable vocals.The rest of the songs are comprised of ballads and faster songs and continue in the formula of praising and worshiping. Natalie continues to show throughout her truly GOD-given gift."

"'Stronger' by Natalie Grant is a very enjoyable album.



Natalie has a beautiful voice that can create some really amazing sounds. Her best known songs on this album are 'Keep on Shining' and 'What Other Man'. These really highlight the talent that she has. There are several other good songs on this album, as well.



Although she may not be as well known as some other artists, Natalie has a great sound and the ability to do really great things with it.
