I love Selah, and I thought I could consolidate my Selah collection with this, but I think I have to still keep them all.. I might miss something!! Their music is passionate without being out of control... you just have to hear them, worship with them, be encouraged by them and with them..

"I was so excited to see this 4-disc collection by Selah, released for their 10th anniversary. Three discs in the collection are their first 3 albums: Be Still My Soul, Press On, and Hiding Place. If you're not familiar with Selah, these are wonderful collections of timeless hymns and theologically substantial worship music, sung in gorgeous harmony by Allan Hall, Todd Smith, and Nicol Smith Sponberg. If you are familiar with Selah, having additional copies of these albums is wonderful for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that you can stop switching them back and forth between the car and your house! The fourth CD in the collection has some of their radio hits from their latest Duets album, which features their newest member, Amy Perry. It also has 3 new songs with Amy, plus some previously unreleased material, including a live version of Todd singing "Were You There?" (Speaking of live, if you ever get a chance to see Selah in person, do anything you can to make it happen. I say "in person" rather than "in concert" because it is a wonderful worship service rather than simply being a performance. And Allan Hall about sets that piano on fire when you see him live!)



Another great thing about this new collection is that there are all new liner wrotes written by Allan, Todd, and Amy. Selah is great for writing notes about each song--either the background of the hymn or a personal meaning it has for someone in the group.



So, purchase this box set, put it on the disc-changer, have a Selah concert at home, and sing along!"

Great collection

"I received this boxed set for Christmas and have been listening to it non-stop ever since. If you're a fan of Selah, this is a must-have. If you're new to Selah, this is a great place to start because for basically the price of 2 regular CDs, instead you get 4. The first three in the set are "Be Still My Soul," "Press On," and "Hiding Place." The final CD contains some songs from "Bless the Broken Road," as well as some new singles, a live version, and a demo.



One of my favorite things about this group is that, in addition to their beautiful hymn arrangements, on each CD is at least one classic contemporary Christian song (back from when it was known as "Jesus music"). There are redo's of songs done by Evie, Larry Norman, Russ Taff, Cynthia Clawson, Andre Crouch, etc. The fourth CD of this set contains a new version of "There is a Redeemer" by the incomparable Keith Green. There is also a wonderful rendition of Andre Crouch's "I Didn't Think It Could Be ('Til It Happened to Me)." Actually, I believe each CD in the set has at least one Andre Crouch song [hey guys--if you read these amazon reviews, would you consider recording "Soon and Very Soon" some time?!] Probably my favorite new song off this set is the old hymn "Revive Us Again." Not only is it a great chance to really hear the latest member of Selah, Amy Perry, sing, it is a fantastic song to kick off the new year with.



The last thing of note about Timeless is the book included--there is a history of the group and how they formed (written by Todd Smith) as well as a lot of new liner notes and hymn stories.



"Timeless: The Selah Collection": What a fantastic gift to give or receive!
