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.

I didn't at all like this CD-set . . . I mean SOME of the songs were OK, but most all of them were blaa. Actually I shouldn't even say SOME - I only like 2! After I heard Keep The Candle Burning and Day By Day on WOWs, I thought they're music was wonderful. But what I didn't think was that those were the BEST songs of their's, and they're still not the greatest! So I went and bought this, and then hated it! I ended up selling it. So out of 24 best of songs, I only like 2. I can't imagine what regular CDs are like since they're NOT "best of" ones! I couldn't recommend this or any Point of Grace CD. The more I heard more of their music - I realized that out of ALL of it, they only have 2 good songs. OK, their new song "I Choose You" is pretty good, but that's it. So I couldn't tell you to get this one, but I could tell you to check out Rebecca St. James. She's, I think, the best female singer out there - Wait For Me (a best of) is her best CD!
