Editorial Reviews :
Greatest hits packages come and go, but when you can claim 24 consecutive No. 1 radio singles, a feat unmatched in any genre, now that’s something worth celebrating. Which is exactly what Point of Grace does with 24. The double-disc collection is loaded with one gem after another, from the opening 'Day By Day,' a wonderfully superb new track that showcases the women’s textbook four-part harmonies, to the ending and equally excellent 'Praise Forevermore.' Even though worthwhile tracks from earlier in the group’s career now sound dated after 10 years, notables such as 'The Song Is Alive,' 'Blue Skies,' and 'Circle of Friends' demonstrate how comfortable Denise, Shelly, Terry, and Heather have grown with each other over the years. Considering each member’s vocal talents (each is a soloists in her own right), 24 shows us a group of artists who don’t attempt to outperform one another. In humility and respect, these Girls of Grace prefer to blend their harmonies into one beautiful sound. Their music stands the test of time as evidenced by the release, which is a defining moment for one of the most important Christian music groups of all time.
Buyer Reviews :
To celebrate Point of Grace's record breaking 24 #1 singles in a row, Word Records has released this two disc set. As you'd expect from the title, it contains all of this quartet's top hits.
The first disc starts with the only new song on the project. 'Day by Day' is about a Christian's desire to see God, knowing that each day is bringing us closer. It's a fun number that fits in well with their other songs. Will it hit #1 as well? It's too early to know for sure, but I'd bet it does.
This disc goes on to feature their early career, with the eleven hits from their first two projects. Highlights here include 'I'll Be Believing,' 'Jesus Will Still be There,' 'The Great Divide' and 'God is With Us.'
Disc two kicks off with 'Keep the Candle Burning' and proceeds through the 13 hits from their other three CD's. Personal favorites in this set include 'You Are the Answer,' 'Circle of Friends,' 'Wonder of it All,' 'My God,' and 'Praise Forevermore.'
Also included is a booklet that gives information and thoughts on the songs presented here as well as telling when the song hit #1. It's quite interesting to read through and learn a little more about the group and the music industry.
As with any best of project, die hard fans will have favorites that they miss. Personally, I would love to see 'More Than Anything,' 'God Forbid,' and 'Who Am I?' But then again, since these were never released to radio, it would defeat the purpose of this project.
Casual fans of this amazing group will want to get this set since it contains all of their radio hits. Point of Grace fans will want to own this piece of music history. Either way, it's a wonderful collection to celebrate this auspicious achievement. I'll be enjoying my copy for years to come.
