In a first of its kind release, Nearer: A New Collection of Favorite Hymns is a fresh, current take on the hymns that are most loved by young adults (as determined by a recent online poll of nineteen to twenty five-year olds). Keeping in mind a reverence and respect for these hymns, such artists as Kalai, Mindy Gledhill, Sarah Sample, and others help young adults feel more in touch with the Lord through their music.
Nearer combines the sacred and simple themes of hymns such as “Be Still, My Soul” and “I Need Thee Every Hour” with an organic yet humble style. This newly recorded collection communicates the testimonies of young adults in a voice more similar to their own, while keeping a reverent feeling throughout. In a world full of trials and troubles, Nearer: A New Collection of Favorite Hymns helps bring young adult members closer to God, while making them feel represented and firm in their beliefs. It is an instant classic every young adult will connect with.

A beautiful, reverent, folk sound
Customer, UTAH - February 07, 2010
I had gotten out of the habit of listening to LDS music after moving away from Utah where it was available on the radio. However, I got a job at an LDS bookstore and started playing demo cd's. None of them particularly stood out from the others (except for some that were so cheesy I couldn't bare them or others that were too loud for work)...then I heard this one. I played it over and over and ended up buying a copy for myself to bring home (first time in over a decade). It is reverent, compelling, and has given me a whole new respect for LDS music. It may not be to your taste--especially if you don't like accoustic guitar, or the folk sound...I had a customer note her particular distaste for the Onward Christian Soldiers arrangement (admittedly it does get a bit strange). Still, it is a CD I can whole-heartedly recommend to my customers.
