"I have been a church choir director for 20 years, and have never been so moved or inspired by a contemporary work. This isn't your everyday gospel-radio fare... it is a modern oratorio, as closely related musically to Handel's Messiah and "Les Miserables" as it is to Contemporary Christian. When our combined choirs performed it this spring, the congregation was moved to tears and a standing ovation... and that was just us! You should hear the original!"

"I stumbled accross this while looking for Steve Green's that I might have missed. It was listed as "Steve Green also appears on..." I checked it out. I can't imagine not having this CD. It's like a mini-Messiah. Greg Nelson, one of the writers claims it's not inspirational. I disagree. Something that touches your heart and moves you to tears is inspirational.This work needs more exposure. I can't believe I almost missed it. The words and music are incredible. The combination of voices is incredible. And even more, the message is incredible. Listen to "Cross of Love" and not feel passion? Can't be done. A must have for all who love God and His Son."

"This oratorio is one of the most moving of contemporary musical experiences and the performers on this CD are exceptional. Having sung this oratorio last year as part of a chorale group, I can attest to the impact upon the audience as well as the performers. Many of the selections become superb solo or ensemble, stand-alone pieces and are as significantly moving as within the whole. While challenging, the music is suitable for a wide range of performers. It is best learned and practiced with this CD as a pattern."

"I heard this piece of music performed at my church this morning and was so taken with it that I came home and searched the web for a recording of it. I didn't know if it had been recorded or not and I was elated to find it. I can't wait until it is delivered."
