The Word Revealed, May 1 2007
By Geoffrey H. Gentry - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Glory Revealed (Audio CD)
Like many people I vaguely knew about this CD due to some radio play on Christian stations. I listened to samples on iTunes and fell in love with the CD. I'm a big fan of several of the artists on the CD and I like the folk/country/bluegrass stylings of the songs. But what drew me most was the fact that the songs are purely taken from the Word of God. This CD has been on repeat on my iPod and iTunes for a while now and I'm not tired of it. My favorites on the CD would be the following:
Altar of God by Josh Bates
Restore to Me by Mac Powell & Candi Pearson-Shelton
You Alone by Brian Littrel
Buy the CD it is worth every penny!

I was privileged to hear Mac Powell (of Third Day) sing two of the songs from this in our church service and was blown away! It is a beautiful, folksy album of worshipful songs. Highly recommended!

There are some really good songs on here, April 18 2007
By Jeremy Deats - Published on Amazon.com

All the songs here are not based on scripture they are an attempt to make scripture the actual lyric. There are countless gospel and and contemporary Christian songs with scripture in them, some are even like these songs, taken right from scripture. So I guess what makes this unique is that the entire album is scripture set to music.
I guess the end result is a really solid album that it's hard to skip through, with three of four songs here geared for corporate worship. The entire CD is beautiful and these simple melodies grow on you. After having the album for a while now, I find myself hearing the songs in my head and I start longing to read the scriptures (not necessarily the verses of the song, just in general). The entire album is beautiful from start to finish.
If you like Folk and Bluegrass music you'll love these arrangements and you'll love this album. It's very refreshing to hear the talent on this CD contributing here to these, often simple songs. There seems to be a humble spirit to this album that will draw you in.
