(music teacher and youth leader) 'The music is poignant and beautiful.' Cynthia 'Submitted is a collection of fine worship songs performed by a collection of fine artists. The songs are produced with outstanding clarity and sung with passion. The CD is reflective, meditative, with a deep reverence centered upon the Lordship of Jesus Christ. There are outstanding vocal performances here. My favorite tracks are 'Before Your Cross,' 'Submitted,' 'Your Word,' and 'Bless the Lord (With All My Soul)' but you'll find the whole project to be very inspiring, heartfelt, and worshipful.' PKF (worship leader and recording artist) 'Worship that takes you into God's presence. My favorite and most listened-to CD for personal worship. And as an Anglican minister, I find this worship CD to be so helpful in bringing a group to a place of quiet corporate worship before a teaching or prayer time. When this music is playing as people enter the church, there is an immediate sense of quieting down and being drawn into God's presence.' C.P. Young (priest) 'I can highly recommend Submitted's worship music as anointed to bring healing of the soul, emotions and relationships, in our experience.' Fr. Chris (priest) 'CCM meets the traditions of the historical Church . . . all I can say is, 'it's about time.' Very uplifting without causing one to think you have to scream, twist and shout, or do the Holy Ghost shakedown in order to experience God. He is right here. Already. And the theology is rich and not dumbed down. In short it lifts up the Jesus Christ of the Bible and early Church. Love it.' Richard E. 'I am so moved by this work and am hoping there will be more. I continue to encourage others to purchase this awesome work. The title is perfect and the experience when listening is so holy and inspiring. It is pure worship and truly ushers one into God's presence.' Pam S. 'I just want to thank you very much for Submitted. The music is really blessing us at this time. I think it's going to bring us a lot of healing. It's music with so much potential, a kind of new music really that we are thankful to God for, the genuineness of the singing and the lyrics, the submission in the worship. There are so many good things about this music that makes it strikingly different from a previous generation of modern Christian music.' Chris 'We were absolutely and totally blessed out of our socks. We were blown away by Submitted. We love it, and I'm just absolutely sure that God is going to use it in mighty ways for decades to come. It will be part of the music of the church. What a blessing to be part of that even from our bleacher's seat.' Ron S. 'I keep listening to Submitted every chance I get and each time I do I'm loving it more. Submitted is a remarkable project that points me directly into the presence of the Lord. Thank you for this labor of love; an amazing gift to our Abba.' Ed S. (pastor) 'There are no words really to express how awed I am. It is amazing to me that you can 'hear' this music in your head and heart. The words to the songs are glorious, the melodies moving, tender and compelling, the artists perfectly matched with each song.' Elize K. 'Usually when I listen to music, I find something to do around the house while the music plays. When I played Submitted I followed my usual procedure. However I was quickly enthralled with the beauty of the music, and the high standards of the performers. I sat enraptured until the CD ended. Then I noticed the dedication on the last song and I almost wept.' Myles K. 'The CD is absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to share it with others. Blessings!' Marsha S. 'Submitted is a great album and God inspired. Love it!' Bud D. 'Submitted is AWESOME.' Daniel L. 'Everyone -- this CD is a must listen! The music and lyrics are very deep spiritually with a very rich instrumentation and vocalists of the highest caliber. I hope everyone will purchase this CD and share with others. It will lead you to a very blessed encounter with our living Lord!' Patricia S. 'Just listened to your CD 'Submitted.' It is BEAUTIFUL!! Praise God for giving you such lovely music and wonderful spiritual letters to Him! The instruments and vocals are super! Have I used up all my superlatives yet?!' Colleen and Joe K. 'Great CD. The CD is so powerful. Just love 'Submitted.' Absolutely beautiful and anointed.' Christie R. 'I have been listening to the CD, it is absolutely fabulous! It is so anointed. I am so excited what God will do through this ministry of music that God has gifted you with.' Connie C. (worship leader) 'I wanted to let you know as I listened to the CD I was amazed at how awesome the lyrics are, the music and instruments are beautiful. It is very different from the Christian music I listen to, in that it is so beautiful instrumentally with so many different sounds and influences on the different songs. It is like a symphony. I am now listening to it for the third time in a row (which shows how much I am enjoying it). The melodies caused me to want to hum along on many of the songs even though I don't know the words yet. It is very apparent to me that a worshipper wrote the lyrics inspired by someone who walks with the Lord, and has gone through times of testing and has a heart for the Lord and what he wants and says to us as his people. This CD as I listen to it, brings a quietness to me and a soothing to me. Praise his Name.' Sandy 'I just finished my first listen-through of the Submitted CD -- what a blessing! I just love the way everything came together. Thank you for your courage, dedication and all the hard work you have put into this project. It is truly going to bless God's people and have an impact for His kingdom! It is going to be exciting to watch what the Lord does with this beautiful work of art and sound, which is so full of hope and truth.' Gregg G. (Christian musician)
