Absolutley the best cd ive ever heard all in its own way.. we played it at my father in laws irish wake when he passed away and it soothed our hearts.. my children love to hear it and it always awakens me to the fact that God is with us !!!!!! If you havent heard or bought this cd it is WELL worth it. --Mary

A friend lent me this CD and I was shocked to realize I had missed this "Gem for Jesus" I will be purchasing my own Starkindler CD and several more as well. Michael Card has touched my soul in a way that a lot of other Christian Artists just cannot.

This CD re-introduced me to my Irish roots. It is the best mix of Traditional Irish music with Contemporary expression without destroying or watering down the Irish music. It remains my favorite CD.

I was looking for a slow waltz tune to dance with my son at his wedding. "Never will I leave you" seemed so appropriate. Michael Card is the greatest christian poet song writer!

I find the music of Michael Card both searing and heart-wrenching in such a positive way that very few christian artists are able to do for my listening. His ability to take a part of the scripture that you would read every day and just don't get the bells ringing and infuse it with the right instrumentation and a glorious interpretation with a contempory application is something of a remarkable fete. Above all his abilty to draw from the riches of the Old Testament, vividly make a connection with its interpretation in the New Testament and offer a pratical meaning to a contempory Christian is something that leaves me always marveling at how so current the word of God is to anyone looking for a solution to a modern problem.

We love this album! It was played during all three of our boys' births, and they listen to it every night as they drift off to sleep. Our oldest is now 8 years old and still prefers this CD over any other.
