REVIEWS

Just as HE is worthy of praise so is this collection of songs
author: Mark Freeman
                            
A "must have' release. This album as well as John's other release I'll credit with getting me through some very tough days over this past year. John's a talented writer and musician and I'm grateful to have both his recordings. They are uplifting and at times challenging to my soul-- HE has done well to use John as an instrument of PEACE in a world of chaos. Thanks be to you John and to our God for His talents expressed within us!

hauntingly beautiful--a feast for the ears and the soul
author: Linda Peterson
                            
Hauntingly beautiful music, uplifting, engaging. "Swimming In The Jordan" and "The Lord's Prayer" are favorites. The liturgical music is perfect congregational music, simply the best! This is very sophisticated music, easy to hear and hard to forget, multidimensional. Read the insert for genesus of "Shalom, Salaam", then listen to the beautiful melody and perfect words--very moving. Tirro's music is head and shoulders above what is typically classified as contemporary Christian music.

Intense, Contemplative, Enriching
author: Barbara Faig
                            
Impossible to listen and not feel moved and inspired. Deep messages presented with simplicity and honesty. "Use Me Up" speaks my personal prayer to God for my life. Thank you for expressing my desire into words that I couldn't find.
