Women Of Faith have been putting out a stream of albums since their formation in 1996. This latest offers mildly contemporary updates of songs from the American hymnal. So you've got "Great Is Thy Faithfulness", "How Great Thou Art," "Blessed Assurance" and "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing." The arrangements by Paul Mills are pretty good while the lead vocalists Jennifer Thigpen, Lisa Pierre, Shelley Jennings and Kala Balch are competent if hardly exceptional. Women Of Faith are described on the album cover as "arguably the most influential Christian women's movement in the United States," intended to help "women of all faiths, backgrounds, age groups, and nationalities to be set free to a lifestyle of God's grace." They've also produced an album of timeless hymns which, with their modern arrangements, will inspire faith in many who get to hear it.
