Very relaxing and meditative. I especially enjoy the way the album ends with the song "Hatikvah"

Inspiring and skilfully performed
author: Fred Seet
I feel moved to write a second review, because I have been blessed by this CD. From the first few skilfully performed bars of "I Exalt Thee", I am already captivated. The ever popular "Amazing Grace" is here given a contemporary interpretation, opening with harmonics and with a tasteful light jazz touch for a few sections. I have not heard it performed like that before - truly inspired! Joe Anthony's skill in jazz guitar playing also comes through in "Jesus, Name above All Names", and his pensive treatment of "In His Time" and "O, How He Loves You And Me" are memorable. His own composition "For All Friends, Past and Present" is also a treat to listen to. All in all, this collection is a testimony to the God-given talent of the performer.
