Christian Music staple Sandi Patty proves that she's still got it -- even those glass-shattering high notes -- on Take Hold of Christ, her twenty-third album. This time out she abandons the more exploratory nature of her recent albums and goes purposely back to exactly the kind of music that we remember her for.

Take Hold of Christ is comprised of ten ballads and anthems, all very intentionally crafted to conjure up memories of the good old days, back when Patty's music was the hottest thing on the scene. You remember, don't you? Beautiful songs, Patty's effortless, unwavering vocals, and a big, powerful, high crescendo for nearly every song. That same formula is what you'll find on Take Hold of Christ. It's really not any more complicated than that. Long-time Sandi Patty fans will go all nostalgic for this doesn't-skip-a-beat return to form, with its themes of worship and God's faithfulness.
