"This album is wonderful. Now it is not the whole piece of art as THE WORLD AS BEST I REMEMBER IT VOLUME 2 but it is great. It is on this cd that we first heard AWESOME GOD. In my opinion this is the definitive Christian song of our time. It is a modern day Amazing Grace. The cd begins with the stirring call to missions, The Other Side Of The World. A choir of foreign childrren voices remind us that the other side of the world is closer than we think. With The Wonder is a somewhat forgetable song that weakens the overall quality of the cd. Awesome God is the next cut. What can be said of such an incredible song with such an incredible impact on the world. I don't think I will ever tire of singing this hymn and look forward to the first time I sing it before my Lord! If I Stand is one of my all time favorite Rich songs. So many memories I have of this song ministering to me in late night hours. "There is a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment and a music higher than the songs that I could sing, the stuff of earth competes for the alegiance I owe only to the giver of all good things". Boy was Rich deep. Home is a haunting song that speaks of our deep longing for a place we have never been but want to spend our lives forever. Such A Thing As Glory is also a bit forgetable and weakens the cd. And I Love You starts us down the slippery slope of not as good music followed by Ready For The Storm that only makes you wonder if you still have the same cd in the player. One True Love and How Can I Keep Myself From Singing end the cd uncerimoniously. However this cd is worth owning for AWESOME GOD alone. Home and If I Stand also give reason to cherish this sometimes inconsistent compact disc."

""Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth", was the first tape I ever bought of Rich's. It has the classic, "Awesome God", on it. But that song is just one of many on this CD to be treasured. This is the Rich music I was introduced to, thus beginning my long time fascination with him as an awesome singer/song writer/poet, but even more importantly, as a child of God trying to find his way. Every home should have this CD. The lyrics inspire and comfort me, even to this day."
