"Words can't express how this album has touched my life in so many ways. i remember Shirley when she sung as we lay. She is killing it exactly the same way she killed it when she was singing secular. The voice is there and the anointing is even stronger
my favorite cuts are It's in your hands, Never Let you down, Cry,
This Is That, We Need a word from the Lord and The Dream that would not die"
Well worth waiting for.

"I must say that I have waited for this day for a long time.I remember being a teenager listening to As We Lay, and saying to myself this lady is Phenominal , she touched my life with her messages in the secular world, and I am just as touched by the anointing that she brings in her gospel music. I haven't heard the actual CD yet, but if it's anything like the live cuts she did in 1999 at The New Birth Baptist Church in Decatur,Ga I am possitive I will be abundantly blessed.I looking forward to hearing it."
Shirley sounds better now than Ever before!!!

"When I first saw Ms. Murdock's new CD I said to myself "No she didn't come out with a gospel CD". So I bought it and am glad I did. It is OFF THE HOOK! I say that because each track makes you want to listen to it. Usually when I buy music I will fast forward if the beat doesn't catch me. I tried to do that with "HOME" (could not do it). The fast and the slow songs are good. I think I am playing the life out of tracks 4 and 6. The whole CD is great. I think the people on the expressway may think I am crazy because I am rocking my head and praising GOD behind my steering wheel. This is a must have! For those artist who go from secular to gospel...THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE. Thank you Shirley for blessing my rides to work."
Annointed, Powerful - a must have!

"When Shirley Murdock and her husband recently sang at our church their duet "Oh to know Him" I was so moved I turned to Amazon hoping to purchase a cd with that song on it. Instead I found her 2002 Christian "Home" CD. ~ I remember Mrs. Murdock from my teenage years when she sang backup with Zapp, and then when she went on as a solo R&B artist. One thing about singing Christian music (God's word) is that no matter how many years later you hear the song (as I bought the CD 3 years after it's release date) the words can still be used in your "present" situation! I've heard the "duet" will be on her next CD coming out, but I was excited to hear other songs that touched my spirit. It's clear Mrs. Murdock loves and "trusts" the Lord in everything. the first song was SUCH a testimony for me as I`ve always tried to "help" God, putting MY hand in the situation messing everything up all the more - but THIS song, Mrs. Murdock reminds to "cast your cares on God, and after you've done all you can, you just stand, it's in God's hand." She reminded me that the battle is not mine. I've been meditating on the words of these songs every day. What an anointing on this woman! This CD is a MUST! My first night I stayed up to 2:45am listening over an over singing alone, weeping and praising the Lord.(By the way, I'm NOT a night person! smile) I can't get enough of Shirley Murdock! Thanks for being a blessing in my life.
Favorite tracks are #1,3,5,6,9,10,11,12,13 - however tracks #1,5,6,10 was a "personal" testimony for me.

WHAT A BLESSING!

"Home is a superb compilation of blessings. I love this CD. Shirley Murdock is indeed "home" singing gospel. I am looking forward to more gospel from her. I particularly love "Celebrate My Life", and "A Dream That Will Not Die".You ought to purchase this CD right away. You'll wonder how did you live without it!"
