This CD is fantastic! Her new song “Peace Peace” once again demonstrates the gifted anointing this singer has on her music ministry. I encourage the public to explore some of her earlier releases as well to experience this modern-day psalmist’s range of praise and worship to the deep worship music used as a back drop for morning devotionals

Sarah Groves - A REAL person, serving a REAL God, in a REAL way. With a beautiful voice, her words convict, motivate, and encourage me to pray and get involved in ways that can start to change some of the inhumanity and pain in this world into hope. This album is very good but I also recommend her "Tell Me What You Know" CD. It's a "must listen'.

Sara Groves is a unique artist and I have been blessed over and over by her music. This is a good (but not great) Christmas CD that I can honestly recommend. Sara's creative arrangements, alternate melodies, and variations on some of the traditional carols are welcomed. The best tracks are "It's True", "To Be With You", "Peace, Peace", and the beautiful "Cradle in Bethlehem". "Toy Packaging" is fun, and a good change of pace. If you appreciate Sara's music ministry as I do, buy this one---you won't be disappointed.

Love Sara Groves voice and style! This compilation doesn't disappoint! There's a song that says "Glory, Glory" and I love it!

This album isn't the same old Christmas songs again. She takes traditional Christmas songs and puts interesting unusual tunes to them. Also a really creative fun song about wrapping toys at Christmas. She also has a pretty voice.

Nice balance of new songs, traditional songs, and traditional songs set to new melodies. Beautiful.
