Okay. It's his songs from long ago, but they are all classics. I had the CD playing in my car and I sang along with joy in my heart. It was like finding Steven all over again.

A Collection of Great Songs

"I don't envy the person who had to put this collection of songs together. Trying to pick the best of Steven Curtis Chapman's songs is incredibly hard. Almost every song he's done is powerful. Yet, this CD has captured some of his best work to date.There are two new songs included in this collection. "Not Home Yet" is a reminder to keep going because Heaven is our ultimate home. "I Am Found in You" is a prayer of commitment to God because He loves and cares for us. Both of these songs add greatly to the collection.There are some no-brainers in the list of classics. For example, this CD had to include his multi-Dove winner "The Great Adventure" as well as his wedding classic "I Will Be Here." I was especially glad to see "His Eyes," a personal favorite of mine that I've felt is under appreciated. The rest of the selections are just as good and deserve a place here. I was a little surprised at a couple of the songs that got left out, but I can't imagine what they would have replaced.Long time fans will love having this collection of what are truly his greatest songs. They'll especially love the notes where he discusses the inspiration behind these songs. Those unfamiliar with Mr. Chapman's work will find a good introduction to his career that should wet their appetite for more. All in all, a great CD."
Christian rock worth playing on mainstream radio.

"Mr. Chapman alternates between praising God and exploring the simple joy/reward of the Christian lifestyle in this toe tapping collection that ranges from ballads to harder edge rock. Being a Greatest Hits collection means there isn't a loser to be found, just an hour or so of good, finger snapping/head nodding music to be savored. Recommended."
Buy and Enjoy!

"Anyone who even mildly likes Steven Curtis Chapman will not be disappointed with his best hits collection.While my personal favorite is The Great Adventure, the other songs in the cd are great also. Among the other hits are: For The Sake of the Call, Heaven in the Real World, I Will Be Here, and More to This Life.All in all, a highly recommended cd containing an excellent collection of songs!"
This CD has everything

"I'm fairly new to the Contemporary Christian music scene (with the exception of Michael W. Smith) so I didn't know very much about Steven Curtis Chapman until this CD came out. A friend loaned it to me and I immediately got my own copy. I usually prefer upbeat songs with a lot of guitar so I like every fast number here, especially I Am Found in You, The Great Adventure, and Lord of the Dance. However, he does such a wonderful job on the slow songs that I like them too, especially the first two, Not Home Yet, and There's More to This Life, which is especially an inspiration to me. It really makes me stop and think about what's really important to me, my relationship with God and the wonderful family He's given me. I'll definitely be adding more SSC to my collection soon."
