This is a great cd! I loved the movie because of the music so now I can listen to it in the car. If you haven't seen the movie - you should rent it, it's great!
CD Reviews
Great Music but Why TWO Separate Cds to purchase?
Angela Watts | Michigan | 11/27/2005

"This set reminds me of how they had the Lion King soundtrack years ago, They have two separate cds. One with the songs shown on this website, and for others craving more, there is another one at sites such as Family Christian that have the following songs
1. Awesome God
2. Still Alive
3. Please Answer
4. You Are Good
5. The Closer I Get To You - Roberta Flack
6. Be Alright
7. When Seasons Change
8. All Things Are Working - Fred Hammond
9. Glorious - Martha Munizzi
10. Victory - Yolanda Adams
11. Now Behold The Lamb
If you are looking for these cd's I suggest you look up the songs and decide if it has what you want on it prior to purchasing it since they look exact on the case from their photos on both websites. Just a heads up for fans of the movie.
Better yet, get both and just have that much extra to listen to, they are both awesome cds! About to order another pair for my in laws."
Not ideal commemoration of the film's musical experience

"Although the film was very heartstring tugging and spiritually moving, I was disappointed that the soundtrack didn't include Tamyra Gray's "Seasons Change". Instead there are substitutes for that as well as "Peace Like a River". A TRUE soundtrack wouldn't make non-appearing track substitutes in the place of tracks that would be highly expected!
I bought the CD last night and was sad that I didn't find tracks I was expecting-- instead the substitutes leave you wondering why on earth they replaced what should have been on this CD! Oh well! I guess I better look more carefully next time! It's this kind of deception, however, that leaves a person a little more skeptical/cynical about supporting projects like this in the future without carefully scrutinizing the package contents! Never again will I take for granted that a film soundtrack WILL include (in this case it didn't) all of the music represented in the movie! Yolanda Adams "Victory" and Walker's "I Need You To Survive" tops off this "alternative" soundtrack and is well-balanced with the other song offerings; however, still I'm left with the feeling that the producers of this album didn't have The Gospel foremost in mind when they released this soundtrack, truth be told!"
This is an excellent starter collection for all the prodigal

"I've been away from the church for a long time. This movie--and this soundtrack--helped pull me back. What a delightful way to introduce a newcomer or a newly returned person to the faith. What a wonderful taste of the best Gospel artists around---this is how you spread the word, folks!
Amen!"
Rare Find!

"I saw the movie and, although, the plot and the cinematography were less inspiring, the music was great! I searched all over for the soundtrack since the day I saw the movie - you would have thought it didn't exist. But, then I looked on Amazon - and here it is - thanks Amazon! I know that most of the music is from prior released albums. So what, at least I have some great music all on one CD. I can't wait for it to arrive."
Disappointment

"I was so upset when I heard the soundtrack and the two songs that I wanted most weren't even on the soundtrack. "Peace Like A River" and "Seasons Change" those are like the best two songs throughout the movie.
Trust your not going to find those two songs anywhere on the internet either, at least not the movie versions (the orginal versions are widely avaiable)."
