This was Dion’s 3rd Christian album. It followed pretty closely in the path of the first two but did concentrate more on the teachings of Christ rather than the misgivings of his own personal life. There really isn’t much more to say about the album. I do not mean this to be disrespectful but let’s face it, most Dion albums sound similar and are rinse and repeat. Now I’m not saying it’s a dull album, in fact it’s a good album as were all of Dion’s albums in my opinion.

I somehow misplaced all my Dion cassettes and it has been most impossible to finf his Christian music on any of the platforms. Thanks so much for making this music available. I agree with your summation on Dion’s music. It is what it is. Dependable , durable and certainly not dull. But I wouldn’t exactly call it nuanced either
