5 out of 5 stars "Gllllllorious album"!!!!!.......2005-04-04

Hi!...thanks for reading this review!..forget the 1st. reviewers comments ..this is a 5 star c.d. Christian , or otherwise , this is still one of my favourite singers , and only Dion (di mucci) seems to be able to touch the human heart in such a poweful manner !!"Centre of my life", .."Sweet Lord Jesus", ...especially "The Truth will set you free"!, ( my all-time favourite Dion song!!!!!) ..all the soings on this c.d. are truly remarkable , and , friom a Christian perspective (which i am !) ...incredible!!!!!BUY!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars excellent compilation.......2003-12-13

This a highly interesting selection from about 6 different gospel albums that Dion recorded in the 1980's. 2 of the songs,, Sweet Surrender and Truth Will Set You Free earned their way into Dion's boxed set collection of greatest hits, and You Need A Love , along with Train For Glory , probably belong in that boxed set as well. Sweet Surrender, in my opinion, is one of Dion's most memorable songs, and I rank it right up there with John Lennon's Imagine.
For those familiar with Dion's personal life, Center Of My Life takes on a special significance, and Still in the Spirit is also a first rate song. The liner notes by Little Steven of the E Street Band are yet another reminder of the musical link between Dion and Bruce Springsteen. The only reason I did not give this cd 5 stars is because "best of" compilations should not be rated on the same scale as an album of songs that were all recorded at the same time - it is an unfair comparison. But this cd is an excellent showcase of the gospel side of Dion, and can be enjoyed with or without any religious fervor.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful ... soul - stirring lyrics.......2003-09-08

It was indeed a blessing to find this compilation on CD. I had bought most of the vinyl albums from which these songs were chosen, in the 1980s. The disk has some of Dion's finest gospel tunes, but I was dissapointed that only one song from the "Only Jesus" album made it on the collection. (Of course that is a biased opinion.. since "Only Jesus" was my personal favorite album of his). The soul - stirring lyrics on this CD are indeed a treat to any Christian believer. The song .. "Sweet Surrender" is a testimonial that has a heart-felt honesty that most folks can be able to relate to. All the songs are wonderful. As I listen to the CD I am drawn to a loving warmth that the Good Lord has flooded into the songs. Dion is an enormous musical talent, and his gifts are very evident on this collection. I highly recommend it to all.

5 out of 5 stars I can't stop listening!.......2003-04-03

I first heard Dion perform some of these songs on EWTN. I bought the CD to get those songs, but I got so much more! I love the laid back rhythm of "Still in the Spirit" and the driving rhythm of "He's the One." It's not just the music that's fantastic on the CD, but the lyrics are so compelling.

This CD will make you happy.
