Product Description

Here we have the ultimate artifact from the bestselling Wow series: Wow #1s: 31 of the Greatest Christian Music Hits Ever. This collection does have some great anthems, but they're the kind of tunes that anyone who's given even a cursory listen to Christian pop radio in the â€˜90s or â€˜00s has heard dozens of times by now. It's hard not to see this release as the result of a zeal on the part of the Wow organization to reduce contemporary Christian music to the sort of bite-sized, sales-driven, best of the best mentality that fuels so much of secular consumer culture. For the most part, the result is a blanched and overproduced mess: very little of the music remotely urban or exciting, almost all of it overly sentimental. Rather than a hearty meal, it's like eating a cake made entirely of frosting. Many if not most of the artists themselves are talented, of course, and if even one more listener can get turned on to the highly personal rock of Rich Mullins or the sublime, beyond-diva-level vocalizings of Nicole C. Mullen, that's never a bad thing. --Mike McGonigal

The cd came sooner than I expected. This was a treat. Good dealer!! I will also order from this dealer in the future.

I ordered three Christian CD's for my sister for Christmas and had them shipped to her. All the cases were broken, but the CD's were still functional. USPS did another poor job, probably running them through the automated stamping machine. A poorer job of packaging might have played a role in the demise of the plastic carriers also.

I bought this for my christian fundementalist mother in law who LOVES christian music and has a nice sized collection already and she loves it! it was a big hit. i wasn't sure what to get her so i read the reviews and those helped. I listened to it with her and i thought it was awful and boring and a bit humorous but i am an atheist so i am coming from a biased opinion. She plays this all the time and keeps thanking me for it so if you are looking for an all around great christian cd try this. oh and there were a lot more songs on the cd than i expected so it was an added value.

This is a great compilation comprising some of the biggest names in gospel music. My favourite is the blue disc which is on the softer side. Check Michael Shulz, Bob Carlisle, Mullen etc. Generally well worth the price.

I love this CD! I love to listen to it to quiet my mind and thoughts in preparation for prayer, or to lift me up in times of trouble, or even to keep me motivated at work knowing who I'm really working for..... I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to spend time close to God. I have purchased several of the WOW CD's and this is one of my favorites (I'm actually listening to it as I write this!)
