CD Reviews
HOPE BEYOND SORROW; UNDERLYING THEME OF "WHEN ANGELS FLY"
05/02/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"These songs are born of incredible loss and yet are full of the promise that awaits us all as children of God. Whether you've experienced the loss of a loved one or have trials beyond measure, the words and music on "When Angels Fly" will touch your heart. The melodies stay with me long after I've listened to them. The words are those of a poet and yet so accurately express what I myself have felt. I have given "When Angels Fly" as gifts to family and friends who are experiencing sorrow, and the appreciation has been great. I am always aware of the suffering of others and look for something, be it a book, a passage, or a personal note to remind them that I love them and God loves them too. Now I have a beautiful collection of songs to share with those who need to remember that "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." PSALM 46:1. I would encourage anyone who is seekig comfort and a strengthened belief to buy this CD; you will not be disappointed."
Amazing music and message!

"What a great testament to God's grace through the painful loss of a loved one. Rob is a phenomenal guitarist, a wonderful producer, and a top-notch musician. If you want to here some first-rate music with an eternal message, this is it. Justin Christian's passionate vocals and Simon Miner's exquisite piano-playing perfectly compliment Rob's flawless acoustic guitar. This is evident on the opening track, "Learn To Be Still" as well as renditions of "Be Still My Soul" and the emotional "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul". Track 6 is worth the price of the album."
THIS IS AN AWESOME ALBUM!

""When Angels Fly" is a beautiful mix of deep and hopeful music. The album has a worshipful tone without being "preachy" or overdone. I appreciate the fine musicianship displayed on each track and particularly enjoy the 3 instrumental songs. Rob is a fantastic guitarist. He plays with great sensitivity and understanding. "Late November" has the feel of an old classic - a timeless quality that transports you emotionally to a place of peace, harmony, and "down-to-your-toes" joy. It reminds me of the truly beautiful moments of my life. This is an awesome album!"
THIS IS ANNOINTED MUSIC

"Rob Graves lost his little brother to cancer last year and he wrote this album for him. It's incredible. If you're hurting at all this album will bring you complete comfort. Even if you haven't lost someone, his music is amazing."
