I enjoy a cappella singing, especially quartets or small groups, but I had just about quit buying these kind of CDs (which is about all I was interested in anyway) because I did not care for the clapping, shouting, or attempts to sound like musical instruments with voices. It seemed like the rest were choral groups, were of poor quality, or had singers that "over-sang" their parts instead of blending their voices.

I hadn't heard of your group until a couple of months ago. Your selections of songs, tonal quality, blending, and professional recording efforts quickly renewed my interest. After first hearing a couple of your songs on a website, I have since ordered all of your CDs for my personal collection. I have also ordered your CDs as birthday gifts for my dad, my brother, and my son. My sister couldn't wait for her birthday in September and went ahead and ordered all of your CDs after listening to mine.

Lastly, keep up the great work! Your singing is an inspiration. Your messages in song are easy to listen to as well as enjoyable to hear. I just need more to keep from wearing out what I already have.

The Stained Glass cd is so inspiring and up-lifting; what a great sermon. Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded is my favorite hymn, and you performed it beautifully.

I received your CD "onevoice in hope" as a gift, and wanted each of you to know how much it has meant to me. The combination of songs and scriptures was perfectly balanced and well-chosen. As a musician, I appreciated the blend of voices and harmony - the arrangements were masterful! Two of the songs in particular made me wish I could sing bass!!!

I received this at a "shadow valley" time in my life, and the words of the songs and scriptures reached out to comfort me and truly give me hope. I know that was your goal - to lift eyes up to God, who is our hope.

Thank you for sharing your talent with others in order to bring glory to the Father. Music is a gift from Him for our benefit!

Please keep up your good work, and may you be spiritually and financially blessed for your efforts.

My wife was so excited tonight when I brought your new CD home for her. She has not been in a church service since April 18th, and as we listened to the CD tonight on our bed with the kids, it brought tears to her eyes. As simple as this sounds…just the wound of familiar voices and the spiritual nature of the music and words was too much for her and she became very emotional. As our children sat on the bed with her, Layne's voice singing, she lost it. She wanted me to tell you how much she needed that CD tonight. As I left the house to come back to the office late tonight she was listening and singing with it one more time before she went to sleep.

You now know of one listener who really needed it, and completely understood the message you were trying to convey. Thank you.

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been over and over by your music. I want to tell you a specific incident of how God used it in my life.

Last summer/early fall, I was going through a particularly rough and discouraging time. Even though things looked really really bleak and hopeless to me, I had come to the conclusion that I had to either trust that God knew what He was doing and that His way/time is best (whether I think it is or not) or turn my back on everything I had even been taught since I was a child. I decided to trust God, as scary as it was, and just hang on. I didn't "feel" any better, yet I knew He was in control. One Sunday morning in August on my way to Sunday school, I was listening yet again to your CD. "Holy, holy, holy" was the song and you began the third verse specifically "though the eyes of sinful man Thy glory may not see"! The Holy Spirit caught my attention immediately with - I am a sinful man and I sure am not seeing your glory right now! I have sung this song for years and always interpreted as an unsaved sinful man not seeing God's glory - which is very true too but how the Holy Spirit revealed a new truth to me. I went back to the beginning of the verse to hear the whole thing in context - "Holy, holy, holy, though the darkness hide Thee." WOW! Not just sin as darkness but my life was absolutely dark at that point with no hope except God and the darkness of circumstances was sure hiding Him (or maybe I was letting it). My goodness, how my heart and spirit were lifted as you went on to sing (again) "though the eyes of sinful man Thy glory may not see. Only Thou are holy - merciful and mighty. Perfect in power, in love and purity." What a confirmation to my decision that God is God and He is who He says He is. Only God is sovereign and worthy of our worship. He is in control.

After a time, that trial was over and thank God for carrying me through. I thank God for using you with that particular verse - song - time - just when I needed it. I have sung that song for years, but will never and haven't sung it the same since that day. It still brings glory to my heart to think of that moment in time and how grateful I am for it.

We don't discuss the word "ministry" very often other than in the sense of an evangelist's ministry. But we wholeheartedly believe that your work in these projects IS a gift of ministering unto the saints. Even though you've never met some of your brothers and sisters in Christ, you should find great purpose and personal edification in knowing your talents from God have been put to use in His kingdom, and that your efforts are uplifting saints in every circumstance unto His glory.

Keep up the good work, gentlemen...because you've been faithful in a few things, you're being put in charge of many things!

I want to thank you for sharing your talents with me in your recording of Stained Glass. I have listened to this CD over and over again, and just cannot get enough. The songs chosen are so special and the harmony reaches heaven. In the morning the CD comes on instead of my alarm and starts my day off with a thankful heart. Then as I drive home from work, I listen to it again and it ends my day as it gives me a quiet spirit.

It soothes my soul when I leave the cemetery after putting flowers on my father's grave. He would have adored these songs!
