| A lot of "best of" compilations don't live up to their name-this one does.Cool CCM/Westcoast sound,amazing vocals,lotta great feel in it,tons of musicality,esp.(imo),"He Never Changes","Couldn't We Stand","Center Of The Mark","Why","The Message".These guys,Take 6,The Winans,brought me personally closer to Christ.Most CCM wasn't doin' it for me.That sounds like some elitist,aesthetic criteria,but there are a thousand avenues to the same place--part of my journey involved this kind of gospel music.Thanks. |

| One of the things I enjoyed most about 4Him is that they didn't have whiny songs that unfortuntely often plague CCM. These are a group of talented artists and have some amazing voices, particular Andy Chrisman. It's worthwhile to have in your collection if you like CCM but don't want repetitive "praise him praise him praise him" tracks. I particularly like For Future Generations and Basics of Life. Mark Harris is another who will also have a good career post-4Him. |

 Two standout songs, but not enough else
Submitted on: 2006-03-16 |

| This album features two brilliant songs: For Future Generations and Measure of a Man. Both songs have strong and inspirational lyrics and lively and catchy music. The other songs on this album were disappointing, though; see if you can find other recordings of the two standouts. |

***** NEVER in my life have I heard such music . . . *****

OK, here's my story . . . I knew that 4Him was always pretty popular since the early 90s, but I never understood why?? I mean I thought that they were totally "praise and worship" and there was no way I would ever be into them considering the type of music I usually like! BUT, one morning my Christian Radio Station was playing Measure of a Man, and now I am SO thankful to that song because it has got me into the absolute BEST Christian group ever! Measure of a Man is definitely #1 on my top 100 favorite song list! After I heard that song that morning, I went straight to the computer to look up 4Him. I found that it was on their 2 "best of" type CDs. I listened to samples of the other songs and I immediately feel in love with their music! I purchased both CDs (Best Ones AND Chapter One . . . A Decade) online, and now I think my CD player and definitely my sisters are absolutely sick of them - but I'M certainly not and will never be! I can't begin to explain how wonderful these songs are, but I will do my best. Here are my favorites . . . Real Thing, Measure of a Man, Why, Where There Is Faith, Wings, Before the River Came, The Message, Lay It All on the Line, For Future Generations
4Him's songs are so different from any other artist's songs . . . they don't repeat the same words over and over again and their songs have so much thought and are so different from each other . . . from tune to words they're just fantastic! Most other Christian artists seem to think the same cheap way of writing music, but these artists put so much thought into the lyrics naturally making themselves the very best Christian group by far! Even if you absolutely don't like this type of music - 4Him will MAKE you get into theirs! You wouldn't think that I would love 4Him at the age of 13 and being into more "pop/contemporary" type music! But, 4Him HAS become my favorite CCM group and I know I won't find another like it! Andy Chrisman, Mark Harris, Kirk Sullivan, and Marty Magehee have the talent of a million artists put together and even more! They were a wonderful group set out to spread God's word through their creative and brilliant music! I wish they would have stayed together longer though, but now Andy Chrisman and Mark Harris have done solo albums which are also excellent, but not as terrific as all 4 together as 4Him! Andy, Mark, Kirk, and Marty combined 4 wonderful talents into one group which makes it bursting with quality! The group wouldn't have been the same without Andy Chrisman's absolute phenomenal voice or Mark's superb songwriting and . . . the list goes on and on. So, if you're looking into 4Him - FIRST I'd like to assure you that you won't be disappointed OR sorry once you get it and will wish that you'd have done it sooner and SECOND . . . you should definitely get THIS CD! I have always liked "best of" CDs if an artist has done a lot of music and this is absolutely no exception! Get this CD as soon as possible, and thanks for taking the time to read my review . . . I do hope it helps!
