Customer Reviews

This year seems better than in the past
This year's collection seems better than in the past few years. That, of course, is due to the quality of music that has been put over the past year. As with the past few years there are bonus songs - this year there are 3. The highlights for me were Toby Mac's (featuring dc Talk meaning that it's dc Talk) Atmosphere, Voice of Truth by Casting Crown's, Homesick by MercyMe etc...(the list goes on). You get 33 songs on 2 cd's for a decent price. Overall a great way for someone to get the best hits of the year in one place.

Great, powerful, inspiring and delight-filled!!!
Why aren't there more reviews? Look at the sales rank of this CD set. It's selling like crazy!

Don't Christians like to talk about the music they listen to??

Oh well.

It's a great CD. I have WOW 2004, 2005 and now 2006. I was disappointed in 2005 but loved 2004, so I took a gamble on the aught-six CD. The music is much better than the previous years (and I really liked 2004, so that's saying something).

Technically, the music sounds fuller and stronger and has more depth. Musically-speaking, I find the tunes more pleasing and more professional and lively.

Lyrics-wise, it's fantastic. Profoundly inspiring and stirring. More than a few songs brought a tear to my eye and a tangible feeling of warmth to my soul. Very stirring and deeply touching. I highly recommend this for hungry Christians, seeking the message of God's love and grace via song. This music is spirit-filled and deeply satisfying.

WOW 2006 Is Another Example of CM's Depth & Maturity
I have been a fan of Contemporary Christian Music since the Jesus People movement of 1972... Yes, I'm older than dirt... :o)

But I have been watching a trend in contemporary Christian music over the last four to five years that I haven't experienced in a very long time. There is a spiritual depth and maturity in the groups and in the lyrics of their music that teaches, uplifts, grounds, encourages, and proclaims the very heart of the gospel--God's grace--truly "The Passion of the Christ."

WOW 2006 is another perfect composite of this life changing message.

So, if you want to "feel good all under" please don't hesitate to purchase this twin CD set. It can truly be life saving and life changing if that's what you need and/or want in your life now.

In a hopeless world there is hope to be found and it is unabashedly proclaimed in this glorious musical collection.
