"I have not bought the CD...YET...but I have been a fan of Vanessa's since I was in Jr High School. The Denied Stone is just so, so amazing! I listen to that song at least 15 times a day. If you don't have this CD yet, by all means, get it! This lady will blow you away! Her voice is so beautiful and so full of spirit! She is absolutely the best I have ever heard!"
SOME of the Best

"I really enjoyed this disc. Obviously, the label attempted to get a variety of her music from each project she did. We get a snippet of her good-ole-fashion church solo on "What Shall I Render." And the best of some of her choir pieces in "We Sing Glory" and "I'm Encouraged." I was a little upset that, instead of giving the full version of one of most her prized and requested songs, "Peace Be Still," they took the version in the medley from her latest, live CD. I also wish they had "Amazing Grace (Shall Always Be My Song of Praise)" instead of the 80s contemporary "Pressing On"...But you can't win 'em all. Nice addition to the collection of those who don't have any of her work."
BEAUTIFUL!

"This CD is simply Beautiful. I got it as a Christmas gift and I am so very grateful. Each and every song is truly a treasure, especially What Shall I Render, Desire of My Heart, The Classics, and We Sing Glory. If you're thinking about buying it, don't hesitate. Vanessa is truly blessed with one of those voices that will have you in tears!"
Excellent compilation!

"Hard gospel lives with V.B. Armstrong matching the emotional, go-for-broke spirit of traditional gospel with the vocal finesse of the best modern R&B singers."
