I searched for this cd because of one song I heard from it, Hosannah. LOVED IT! Also, Hosea...but there isn't a song on this cd that I don't love.

Great if you are liking for something more mellow yet not boring. You can just sing along.

Andrew Peterson has become one of my favorite Christian musicians/artists. This CD is highly recommended. Use it for personal prayer, share it in a Bible Study, or use it for worship. It won't disappoint.

What a gift. The written word is so powerful and Andrew, you took this to something higher. I found words in all of these songs- conversations I have had with God- the Holy Spirit- just crying out. What a blessing this CD is for me in a particularly hard time for me. I came to CBD looking for Volume 1... I guess I will look for other albums- Thank you for sharing your gifts.

Wow! I found this guy after hearing "Invisible God" on our local Christian Radio! I couldn't move when I heard this song and to-date it is one of the very best real songs ever recorded to honor our Eternal Father El Elyon through our Yeshua Christ! I love this guys songs - his voice, his realness, his creativity and willingness search deep to bring us True Worship!!! He is now my favorite artist and I tell everyone about him!!! thank you our Father for men in the family of God like him!

My husband is a big fan of Andrew Peterson and loved the surprise of this CD for Christmas. He's been enjoying it ever since. Andrew stays true to the sound and core of his music, and that allows us to draw closer to God.

It was the sound of that first song eight years ago, Nothing to Say, that caught my attention. That was back when radio would play songs like these, when Andrew Peterson was a new artist revealing extraordinary potential. With Resurrection Letters, Volume II that potential is realized in an album lush in metaphor, setting, and texture.I suspect every review of this CD will start by explaining why theres no Volume I. There will be, promises Peterson, someday. Volume I will be an Easter record, a concept strangely absent in a Christian music industry prolific in cranking out Christmas records. This Volume II is an Easter record of sorts, but it deals more with the effects of Christs resurrection than the resurrection itself. With that theme in mind, the album opens with a rallying cry: Rise up, oh you sleeper! The song, All Things New, sets the stage for the album, casting the resurrection as a sunrise after a dark night and recognizing that the same light should wake us up today. The song is the radio single, leaving me wondering if radio might try playing songs like this again. The powerful opener is followed by one of the best songs Ive heard in ages, Hosanna, which captures the bewildering contrast between the triumphal entry and the crucifixion, played out in the inner struggle of sin and redemption. Petersons first-person songs are often my favorites, and this is as personal and confessional as it gets. Each statement of the darkness of man - I have cursed the man that you have made me / I have nursed the beast that bays for my blood / I have run from the one who would save me is followed by the same not-quite-defeated cry of praise voiced by the soon-to-be-crucifying mob on Palm Sunday, Hosanna. The musical movement of percussion and strings follow the emotion of the redeemed sinner from Good Friday to Resurrection Sunday.(Read the rest of the review at www.myccm.org/markgeil/blog )
