Waterville made me cry!
author: Laura
Waterville (the song) is one of the most beautiful ballads ever. I had tears flowing when I heard the third verse. My husband had to ask me what was playing on my iPod. I also liked Crucified With Him, The People You Touch and Give me a Deeper Faith a lot. Actually, I liked the whole CD. I hope he does another one. I'll buy it.

Very good, but disjointed
author: Robert Best
I have to start off by saying that I like albums where the songs all flow together. This one almost pulled it off. Ainsworth writes great songs, and many are about how important relationships are. This CD would have been 5 stars easily if he'd left off "Spokane Boy", "School Secretary" and maybe Traditions. Don't get me wrong, their good songs, but I thought they messed up the flow.
That being said, "Generations" and "Waterville" are two of the best songs I've ever heard. Really. You have to hear them to understand. I also liked The People You Touch. The religious songs are cool.
Get this disk. Its way worth the price. He could have put a couple songs on another CD, though.

School Secretary Rocks!

I'm a school secretary in Eastern Washington and Ken has written my new theme song! The rest of the CD is good too, especially Waterville and The People You Touch.

Great Testimony
author: Gregory Lueck ThD
If you are looking for a Christian Worship album, this isn't it. There are worship songs present to be sure (My Lord and My God, Children of the Promise), but this is more about the life testimony of a Christian artist. If you want songs about God, check out Ainsworth's earlier efforts.
That being said, I thoroughly enjoy this CD. The title track is wonderful. So many pastor's wives live lives of lonliness and desperation. They are separated from their families and never really accepted as friends in their adopted communities. But God is gracious. He eventually lets them know why they are there. Waterville captures this perfectly.
I recommend the CD, but if you don't want to get the whole thing, download Waterville from iTunes. It's the best song I've heard in a long time.
