5/5 Kurt Carr at His Absolute Best!!!!
  by Julie D. Weatherspoon (Ypsilanti, MI)
This CD totally minister's from the onset! It's prophetic, it's rich with an amazing sound-- more importantly, it's the GOSPEL!!! Kurt Carr has definitely sat at God's feet and he's blessed! I truly thank God for providing him with his gifts to bless the masses. I pray that Kurt keeps doing what God would have him to do- remaining true to the gospel. This is what it's all about-- Kurt is at the NEXT LEVEL and God is going to continue to bless him exceedingly, abundantly FAR more than he could ask or think...because of his obedience and faithfulness. Be blessed and purchase this CD, you'll be glad you did!

5/5 This is what I call ministry!

I must say that I have been truly ministered to by this CD. It's been a long time since I've listened to a CD and truly heard God speak to my situations the way He has with this CD, it is truly a blessing.

5/5 It's JUST THE BEGINNING! Ministry at it's BEST!!

I love this CD! Kurt will never let you down when it comes to creative and awesome vocals and arrangements. With anointed and powerful lead vocals such as Ms. Nakita Foxx, Ms. Timiney Caton, Ms. Nikki Potts and guest spots from others. I mean the ministry on this CD is for ME...and I know if I was blessed by it, many others will be as well. So many songs to hear that minister to the soul from "Grateful People Grateful Praise", "I Am The One" & my theme song "JUST THE BEGINNING"! A definite must have!!

4/5 3 1/2 stars.. great album but not the best of Minister Carr. Good buy though.

I'm a Gospel lover and this cd took me nearly a month, if not more to start to appreciate. The theme is constant for the most (repetitious if u may). Minister Carr does approach from a sort of traditional composition stand point and modernizes it. This album is not what I would consider Minister Carr at his best but it does contain much loved songs once I began to appreciate the cd, such as Great Jesus, Ten Thousand One Million, God is a Healer, I am the One (very strong message), I Believe God... but my ultimate favorite would be the Testimony(I love to hear about God's Greatness) and Introducing Narcissus Hinton-Brown because this was probably the song that made the most sense on the cd to me... Listening to this cd chronologically really deterred me from liking it, but once I picked out the above mentioned songs on a playlist - i heard more of the message.

3/5 Just the Beginning

There are a couple of nice songs on this double cd, but I honestly wished I would have borrowed it from the public library instead of purchasing it. Kurt Carr just adlibs too much and just won't let his background singers-sing. That's annoying to me. I wouldn't purchase it for my collection without listening to it free from the library or a friend first.
