1. Great video. The Bishop has always been on the right track in his speaking. This video is a nice one to add to your collection. It's one to pick up when you've been to church but didn't get enough church for that day. If you need uplifting at anytime of the day or night. This is worth the purchase.



2. I watched this four times and then blessed two friends with it. When T.D. Jakes says: "It takes a radical person...", it's exhilarting to see that Jakes is an awesome and amazing role model. Praise the Lord!

5 comments about Beyond Measure.

1. Jeremy Camp is one of my favorite soloist. I liked this CD a lot, it has a lot of 4 & 5 star songs on it.



2. This is more produced than he earlier stuff. THe songs just seem weaker to me. I dont know if it is because he has much more a hectic schedule than writing his earlier stuff.
   
   The album is worth a listen, and had a few hits on the radio.



3. This album is not as solid rock as his earlier releases. I actually didn't know much about Jeremy Camp at all until I went to the Virginia Beach,Va libraries and checked out his albums about a year ago. I love some songs on this album such as Let It Fade, Give You Glory, and Give Me Jesus but the others sound more like an experimentation with pop or other music styles. I do like artists that have quite a bit of variety and style in their music, but Jeremy Camp is hit or miss. You get the feeling that it's more of been there, done that with other artists that are accustomed more to christian rock. Its good, and I like Jeremy Camp but his songs can't touch Mercy Me's All That Is Within Me album! That album is by far the most impressive in my whole collection so far! More creativity and inspirational songs like the ones I mentioned need to be in there.



4. J Camp really lays his heart out and rocks yet another album. This is a great cd.



5. This album is probably the best album I've heard from Jeremy Camp so far! The beats are great, the lyrics are dynamic, and it makes you want to listen to it over, and over. It brings a true inspiration in the believers of God, a must own for any Christian music listener.

5 comments about Carried Me: The Worship Project.

1. It might have been the time period I got this album or just what I was going through. I have enjoyed this album. To me its not for everyday listening. I use it for background when I am doing my devotionals.



2. While my wife and daughters were shopping one day, my son and I wandered over to a Christian bookstore. Over the store speakers I heard this song that captured my heart. I asked one of the employees what song that was, but it was already over and was part of a musical loop instead of a CD in a player. So, the employee started asking other employees when one said, "Oh, it's Jeremy Camp Empty Me."
   
   When I returned home, I purchased the song online. For containing only a few lyrics, it sure is a powerful song.
   
   After listening to just this song, my wife ended up purchasing this CD, now we listen to all the songs on this album.



3. I love this CD! I listen to it everyday. The lyrics in some of the songs on this CD are so uplifting and powerful. This a great Cd to just listen to the words and reflect on the message that God is giving us. If I had the money I would by more of his stuff. This is my first CD of his.



4. Jeremy Camp proves worship doesn't have to fit into one kind of genre. Praise and worship is about the passion that goes into worshipping God. And Jeremy definitely has the passion. This CD is a nice balance of older praise songs (You're Worthy Of My Praise and I Will Trust In You), recent popular praise songs (Chris Tomlin's Enough and Wonderful Maker as well as Tim Hughes' Beautiful One), and praise songs written by Jeremy Camp (Revive Me, Longing Heart, and Carried Me). Standouts on this CD include Enough, Beautiful One (excellent!), Revive Me, Empty Me, and Longing Heart. The only song that is out of place is "Walk By Faith," only because we have heard this song (and it sounds like the same version) on Jeremy Camp's "Stay." If he would have given a completely new version (like just an acoustic guitar and vocals!), then it would have been cooler. Oh well. All in all, this CD is near flawless and it will have you singing to Camp's powerful voice. I also bought the songbook that goes along with this so I could play guitar with it and play some of the songs for praise and worship at church (it was on sale although I probably could have gotten the chords off of the internet, but at least I know it is accurate). If you do not have a Jeremy Camp album, this is a good album to start with since you will probably recognize some of the songs.



5. Glory and Honor to our Father God and Lord Jesus Christ!
   
   I was blessed with a new Christian Radio station and fell in love with a lot of new contemporary Christian Artists. There were so many, I went on a mission and searched with only song titles I uncovered Jeremy Camp and bought his latest album because I liked some the samples I heard here.
   
   Unfortunately once I had the CD, I realized it didn't containn the song I had jotted down on a scrap piece of paper. So I searched more and found 2 previously released albums and purchased those too.
   
   Fortunatley they are all equally GREAT, I really wouldn't want to sacrafice one for any of the others. Camp is great, the variations amongst tracks will surely comfort you at any point during your walk in Love.
   
   So view each album and here the samples if you must or take my word that camps' music will calm your restless spirit and uplift your weary soul. You'll be full of praise and worship!

5 comments about United We Stand.

1. This is one of the best worship CDs I've ever heard. The DVD is excellent also.



2. I love Hillsong United. This Cd is so awesome. One of the best of the year for me. Great worship songs, great music. All around- AWESOME.



3. I mean, seriously? This CD got me back into Christian music. After hearing this CD I went back and got a lot of their previous albums. Great stuff. I love the mix of 'rocking out' and quiet praise. I honestly could just put this CD on in my truck and never change it.



4. Wish I could give it a 10+ ... I had this album for over a year and it just sat around and I never really gave it a chance....don't know why but I didn't and then I finally decided to give it a chance and boy was I in for a totally unexpected suprise....once I really listened to it, it did not leave my cd player for 4 months straight. Seriously!! I listened to this CD day and night, on my way to work, at work, at home, working out... wherever I could find a place to just listen and worship. That was why I could not get enough of this CD, it makes you just want to worship and praise Jesus. It is by far the most influential and powerful worship CD I own and I own TONS of Christian albums. I cannot begin to tell you the impact this album has had on my family and friends. I have shared this album with all of my friends and it has had a tremendous impact on them as well. My kids LOVE this album. I would say this, the best songs for me start from tracks 5-10 (From The Inside Out to Fire Fall Down) and 15-17 (The Stand to Hallelujah). These are the passion and root of the album personally. You just get continous and endless praise and worship songs that you can just sing along to, lift your hands and JOYFULLY worship and adore our Creator. This album just makes you want to stop whatever it is you are doing, close your eyes and focus on Him and what He has done for us and how good He is. I have played this cd so much that it is worn out and I have to eventually buy another one. My family and I also saw them at Fellowship Church in Grapevine not too long ago and it was one of the best experiences at a concert in terms of simple worship without alot of unnecessary production. There were no fancy lights or special effects or what have you, it was just simple praise and worship I truly felt Joel Houston's love and passion for Christ and it was a very moving and powerful experience. Truly love this album, love their creativity and most importantly their love for Christ. I not only recommend this album but share it with everyone whom you come in contact with and tell them about this album.IT IS JUST THAT GOOD!!! EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS ABLUM....



5. Simply Amazing, Annointed, Blessed, and just Good. This CD is beyond good. The best worship for this generation. I love these guys. This is a MUST buy....

5 comments about I'll Say Yes.

1. This is a great CD! This is the 2nd CD that I bought of the Tabernacle Choir. I purchased this and haven't taken it out of our CD player in 2 months. It is very inspirational and very professionally done. I recommend you buy this immediately!



2. Wow, I used to enjoy their music but never owned any cds of them. I bought this cd few weeks ago and it has never been removed from my car radio ever since. The music is so poweful and brings one closer to God. I like the track 'The Lord Thy God' and 'Spirit Fall Down'. 'Worthy is the Lamb' just takes me to another place I have never been before. I enjoyed their version of 'I never lost my praise'. I love this music and thanks Brooklyn T. C for sharing God with me in this way! I can't wait to recieve your DVD I have ordered.



3. This CD is beautiful. I have many of the Brooklyn Tabernacle CD's and this one is great. They sing with such inspiration and love.



4. As always, the Brooklyn Tabeernacle Choir gave God the honor and the glory. This is truly a praise and worhsip experience. I have brought many of their recordings and I have neve been disappointed. I encourage them to continue to seek God's wisdom on their projects.



5. May God bless all of you who are encouraged by the songs on this cd, please continue to enjoy it. Everybody have different tastes and this is only my opinion.
   When Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir puts out a new cd I believe I'm like the first person to purchase it. I love this choir.
   Unfortunately I listened to "I'll Say Yes" twice, and have already stashed it away.
   
   I'm waiting with eager anticipation for their next project though!

5 comments about Let the Praises Ring: The Best Worship Songs of Lincoln Brewster.

1. I originally purchased Lincoln Brewster for the song "Wait Upon the Lord" with Lincoln Brewster's son Levi narrating from Isaiah 40 - just precious! I met my daughter to 'exchange' my grandson Matty, & my daughter Jamie didn't have any 'traveling music' for the trip home. I gave her my Lincoln Brewster CD & she & her family loved it! So, since I had given it away, I needed another! All of the songs on the album are wonderful - just a great worship CD of today's contemporary Christian music. Enjoy!



2. Love this album but I'm waiting for whats next, its about time for that next album!



3. This is great cd to worship god, and just to listen in your spare time.
   I put this on my windows media player with the randomizer going on in the back ground and what ever mood I am in it always perks me up. It is a rare thing to lift you and the lord up at the same time. Pick this up, it is essential to any christian rock library. Praise be to the lord of my soul!



4. I already loved Lincoln Brewster's songs from hearing them at church. However, the music is so loud on the cd that it drowns out the vocals. I am a lyrics kind-of-person and hearing the words is very important to me. Thank goodness I already knew most of the words, because they would be very hard to distiguish in a lot of the places. I'll listen to it occasionally, but not as much as I had planned.



5. This is a great album. His use of a variety of instruments keep the music exciting and new. I especially love the electric guitar parts. This is one of those albums I can listen to over and over without getting tired of it!

5 comments about Wow #1s: 31 of the Greatest Christian Music Hits Ever.

1. Best ever??!! BEST EVER?!!! I CANT'T BELIEVE THIS! IF THESE SONGS ARE THE GREATEST CHRISTIAN SONGS EVER WHERE IS PETRA??? TELL ME WHERE IS THE GREATEST CHRISTIAN BAND?????!!! THIS IS MADNESS. AND ON TOP OF THAT: PLACE IN THIS WORLD???? MICHAEL W. SMITH HAS BETTER SONGS THAN THAT CHEESY BALLAD. THIS ALBUM IS LUDICROUS... WELL, AT LEAST IT HAS THE GREATEST SONG OF AMY GRANT: LEAD ME ON.
   BUT WHERE IS PETRA? WHERE IS PETRA???!!! WHERE IS THE GREATEST CHRISTIAN BAND?????!!!!!!



2. Nobody likes everything. I really loved the "blue disc" but didn't like the "gray disc" much. Someone did a really great job of categorizing and seperating the music by style. I like the "blue disc" an awful lot. It is well worth what I paid for it. The service was quick and trouble free. Overall I'm very satisfied.



3. This is a really great Christian CD. I recommend it for anyone who loves contemporary Christian music!



4. Not only is the quality great, but it's something you want to listen to over and over again!



5. This was the first CD I purchased from this series. The music is definitely uplifting. There is a wide variety of artists on this CD to suit anybody's taste. I do my work listening to the music and it is great for a stress buster.
   I especially like 'Stomp' by Kirk Franklin. This is a combination of a large black choir with an excellent sense of rhythm conducted by Kirk who also sings. The instrumentation behind the music is very rhythmic and great. I usually like other styles of music, but this particular piece is great! It's great to take along in the car if you want to listen to something that is a stress buster and also a prevention of boredom.

5 comments about Praise Is What I Do.

1. This is an excellent "shout all over the place" recording. It's an excellent worship and praise composition and I highly recommend it. However, there are portions that quite lenghty praise clips with only instrumental in the background.



2. Didn't care for the praise disc, but the worship....oh my goodness! This cd was truly a blessing to me! And it's my husband's favorite as well!



3. This album ranks in my top 10 worship music arsenal. When I want to go deeper in worship it is easy when listening to wreckless abandon worship-something that you do not hear much in many services. I love the worship and praise on this cd. It is awesome and I highly recommend it!

4. I used to be a member of Vally Kingdom Ministries International (The church that Shekinah Glory Ministry belongs to). They are clearly one of the best choirs I have ever heard in my life! The worship and praise is real! I have been slain in the spirit by Pastor Wilson and the annointing is on their whole ministry. I moved to Virginia and that is the only reason that I am no longer there. But many Christians that buy gospel cds are looking for a cd that has good music on it all the way through without too much talking & preaching. What I call a true Christian is someone that is willing to face the truth, even if they are hearing it on their gospel cd. If you are just looking for a cd with good sonds on it then you probably need to buy Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribbett, or a holy hip hop cd. Shekinah Glory Ministry is an experience that links you to true worship with God! Both of their cds are like that. Flawless worship that gets you going in the morning and gets you settled in the evening. Those that complain about all the screaming & yelling are being completely biased. Those same people have no problem listening to hip hop & R&B crooners yelling & screaming their sexually explicit lyrics all day long, but when it comes to people totally selling out for God & screaming His praises people seem to have a problem with it. To come on Amazon and give this cd a 1 star is very disrespectful & downright evil. If I don't listen to hip hop I wouldn't go online and give a Lil' Wayne or Jay-Z cd a 1 star, I would just not rate the cd at all. Your goal is to simply stop people from buying this cd, but it will not work! There are way more good reviews than bad ones, so you lose! Buy this cd, you will never regret it! All Glory goes to God!



5. By far this is rated high among one of the best praise and worship projects I've heard. It invites you into a holy place, pure and simple.
   Love it!

5 comments about God's Outlaw - DVD - ALL REGIONS.

1. After reading all the great reviews, I was anxious to receive this DVD. I love religious history, especially of the reformation. I love the stories of Wycliffe and Tyndale, and the books I have read about them I couldn't put down. This DVD lacks the intrigue and suspense of the story. I fell asleep about two-thirds of the way through it. The date says 2004, but it appears to be much older. I think that must be the date that the DVD was released, and probably it was actually filmed in the 80s (just my guess). The background music is very annoying. (An attempt, I think at using period music, but it doesn't work for setting the tone and emotional feel of the film.) Maybe my expectations were too high, but I thought this would be of the same caliber as the recent Luther DVD starring Fiennes. Unfortunately it wasn't even close.



2. Excellent and meaningful story on so many levels. It gave me a new appreciation for how fortunate we are to be able to click on Amazon and buy a Bible in English or borrow a copy from the library. My hope is that it will inspire the church to open their hearts and minds and read the Bible.



3. Very well acted glimpse into the life of an extraordinary man. Seems to be historically accurate as far as events and period costumes, etc.
   Truly William Tyndale was the product of his beliefs in the words that he gave his life to bring to people such as us. What a humble, selfless, caring, faithful man - an inspiration! I hope to see him at the resurrection.



4. This was a pretty good movie. The history was right on target. It always helps to watch a movie about a true story. This will forever help me visualize the history.



5. I watched this with my children to supplement our study of history and the Reformation. This film is well-done, and historically gets you into the time period. What stood out most to me was the superb characterization of the man William Tyndale. The acting was top-notch, riveting! I was impacted by the passion of Tyndale for common people to have the Word of God in their own language- he was martyred for this passion and stood firmly and joyfully to the end. I was deeply moved. Great for discussion with your family. Highly recommended!

5 comments about Barlow Girl.

1. This is one of my favorite cd's. Each song features different issues/struggles that Christians face everyday. It offers the hope and truth one can find when they put their trust in the Lord, Jesus Christ. I also love the fact that this is a family affair! It has been a great encouragement to me! A few of my favorite songs are "Never Alone", "Average Girl", and "Surrender".



2. I love this CD so much, EVERY song (and I'm seventeen-- so this is not a "pre-teen only band". But, I'd like to focus on one song in particular: Average Girl. Wait, stop, listen, I'm not going to say what you think (probably). To all the stupid, ignorant people who have written reviews against this song, please go back and actually LISTEN to it! God is picking someone for you, that guy is for you and only you. So, what's the use of dating? If there is one guy, don't you think God's going to get him to you? Or do you think He's telling you to go try a bunch of different guys until you find the right one? NO. If I know God he's chosen a beautifully unique and spectacular way for you to meet Mr. Right. Wait for it. Don't bother with the rest of them for anything but friendship.



3. I heard a LOT about this band but only "Harder Than The First Time" caught my ear the first time I heard it. It's produced EXACTLY like Kelly Clarkson's pop/rock hits but the rest of this Barlow Girl CD just didn't work for me. The lyrics and music didn't go well together and for the most part, the music simply isn't memorable -- no great hooks. And vocally, it would be nice if the girls put a little more passion behind their efforts.
   
   So, download "Harder Than The First Time" and save your money.



4. I like this style of music, but expected Barlow Girl to be terminally cute. Not so. This is a very good quality project. My favorite tracks include "On My Own", "Pedestal", "Mirror", and "Average Girl".



5. Love it. One of my favorite Christian CDs. The sound is so smooth, your friends who don't go to church will get turned on by them, too.
