"I am not an Avalon fan. However, my wife went on and on about the Faith Hymns CD, and I must say, she was totally right. I usually will buy a CD if it has 3 quality cuts. This one has about 7 which I cannot stop listening to. Her favorites are Amazing Grace and I'll Fly Away, mine is How Great Thou Art. But wait, I forgot It Is Well, and Joyful, Joyful, and Total Praise, and Blessed Assurance! (You get the idea). These are fresh and new and the best Hymns compilation I have heard in over 10 years. Only GLAD's from 1993 was equally comparable. Several of these discs from Avalon will be under my Christmas tree this winter. The final Bonus Cut of For Freedom is not to be missed, either. Wow!"

"I think I've written a review for almost every Avalon album, including Jody's solo CD. On every one of these reviews, I've told you about how phenomenal this quartet is. With this release, they step it up one notch higher! Their voices and harmonies are spectacular. Every song is terrific, ESPECIALLY tracks 2-8, 12, and 13. The only disappointment for me on this album was "How Great Thou Art", which was hard to sing to at first because of the different arrangement. Greg's breathy voice on this didn't help, either. I like his voice on all the other songs, but this one just didn't work for me.

I was overjoyed when I found "For Freedom", the bonus track, on the album. I had heard it before on my local radio station near May of 2006. I remember the DJ saying: "And stay tuned this hour for a brand new single from Avalon" and I was so happy! (Of course, I'm mad at my radio station because it's now March 2007 and they STILL have not debuted "Orphans Of God" from "Stand" yet!) Anyway, "For Freedom" is a definite highlight and will beg for tears every time it is listened to.

Overall, this album ROCKS!! Avalonians and other people alike will enjoy this collection of timeless hymns sung by one of today's top Christian artists! :-) [...]"

Another great album by Avalon

"It's really a great album by Avalon, as all their previous ones, but this one has a really great selection of classical Hymn that I've loved for a long time. I love their talented rendering of them allot though, definitely a CD I'll encourage other to get.

'Great is thy faithfulness', my favorite hymn, was particularly well done on 'Faith,' but I expected no less from Avalon. All the hymns they chose are beautiful, you can't do anything else but love them"
