An Absolute Delight!.......2005-11-15

I don't think there is a singer alive who can take the word of God and teach it to us through beautiful music better than Michael Card does. I was first introduced to his music by a coworker in the late eighties, and I have been a big fan ever since. I was so glad when this album, The Promise, first came out as I was hoping for a Christmas album from Michael. It is the first album we play at our house each Christmas season, and we listen to it many times each year. I can't even select a favorite song from this album because I love each and every one of them. If you ever have an opportunity to see Michael in concert, please do. It is an awe-inspiring experience that you will never forget!

Father show me where I fit into this plan of yours. . . .......2004-12-14

Back in September of 1996 I was not a christian. . .and having been diagnosed positively with MS a year earlier, I thought I was hoplessly doomed to a slow decline in physical abilities until I finally came to my end. . . but by God's grace, I somehow became a member of a choir singing these very songs behind Michael Card himself! We practiced for 11 weeks learning our parts and finally sang with Michael (and a young Fernando Ortega playing the piano and Darwin Hobbs singing some leads) before we went on tour with them to three smaller towns in Nebraska. Although every song on this CD was performed, the choir only joined in on a few . . . like "Unto Us A Son Is Given", "Vicit Agnus", "Shepherds Watch","Thou The Promise" and, of course, "Immanuel". I still get goose bumps when I hear these songs. And the ones Michael sang alone, i.e. "Joseph's Song" and "We Will Find Him" are especially moving.

I came to know the Lord listening to these songs and I learned to trust in His Promises.

Just beautiful...where are all the other reviews???.......2004-11-21

I'm listening to this lovely Christmas CD right now, and every song is a piece of the story of Christ's birth. With the soothing voice of Michael Card's tenor, and the lovely instrumental work involved, this CD always puts me at ease. "Joseph's Song" especially will get to you with it's sweet melody and tender lyrics. A must-have if you're a fan of Christmas music, or just an album to put in the CD player after a long day on the job. Now...where are all the other reviews? How did this one get missed???

The best available rendition of Sweet Little Jesus Boy.......2000-11-13

The first twelve tracks are by The Staple Singers, the next three by Rev. Cleophus Robinson, and the final two by The Pilgrim Travelers. There are no poor cuts on this album although the Robinson rendition of Sweet Little Jesus Boy pales beside the Staple's version - Mavis (?) Staple truly makes this song her own. There Was a Star also shines as a Staple Singers number. Each of the groups has a rendition of Silent Night - sufficiently different to add to the interest of the album.

There are comparatively few Black Gospel Christmas albums - this would rate near the top even in a broader field.
