Customer Rating:      Summary: Highly recommended for all, especially for Christians Comment: ALL songs are great, with powerful meaning. "In Christ Along" deserves true 5 stars rating.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A High View of God Comment: Since becoming a Christian, I've grown to dislike about 99% of music, and about 99.8% of Christian music. Someone recommended the Getty's to me and I looked them up on YouTube and fell instantly in love with their music.
Their songs are so biblically based it is incredible; they understand that God's love and his justice meet at the cross, and that he's not an amatory God.
This music is God-glorifying and saint-edifying. It is highly recommended.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Celtic Christian Hymns Comment: I love these thoughtful hymns for, unlike many modern hymns that use repetitive mantras, the lyrics are designed to have depth.
I particularly like "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" in the traditional version is followed by "I fain would take my stand". In the version on this CD it is followed, with the more confident, with "I find a place to stand".
I also purchased the music book that goes with this CD. I like the Celtic style of the songs and Kristyn sings with contemplative freshness. This CD has some of the most popular of the Getty's songs.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Solid Christian Theology, great music Comment: I purchased this CD about two weeks before Easter, and it immediately went into high rotation in my player. The songs are wonderfully rich in their encapsulation of Christian theology (reformed) and their presentation of Christ's accomplishment on the Cross.
The music is more melodic than many CCM artists, and much less pop-oriented. Many of the songs would be wonderful for group worship, which seems to be their purpose.
This will stay with me a long time, in a good way.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Christ-centered worship Comment: This CD contains some of our family's and our congregation's favorite worship music. So much comtemporary Christian music today consists of songs about "me, me, me!" This CD is focused on Christ. It is worshipful, doctrinally sound, written in easy to listen-to comtemporary style, some songs with a celtic influence. Very enjoyable musically. Keith and Kristtn Getty consider themselves to be modern hymn writers. This is true of their music. But, stylwise, it is not old-fashoined. Highly recommended!
