Reflections from the Heart

Poet and songwriter Stanley E. Alston offers reflections from the heart in his book Faith, Love, and Life. A collection of poems and songs, each piece carries its own respective theme and readers will find a piece that is relatable to them. Several standout pieces include 'Jericho Road,' 'Dream Your Dream,' and 'Yes I Believe,' also recommended is the companion CD where readers can listen to Alston read and performs the pieces that are featured in the book.

Alston brings compelling work to the forefront, offering pieces that contain an honest sincerity. From beginning to end, his poetry touched a part of me and has made a lasting impact. If you are looking for poetry that speaks from the heart, then Faith, Love, and Life is one collection that you must read.

CD tile Faith: Reviewed by: Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD

When you hear a declaration of faith, no matter what religious order is it from, you should hear the message. Having read Stanley E. Alston's book of poetry Faith, Love and Life, I was impressed with his crisp awe inspiriting words. His poetic voice is rooted in a strong Christian ethic and it works.

When I received his CD Faith (one cd, 50 Minutes, poetry and musical selections, Self Published), I was unsure the cd could match the power of the book's text. Well, this leap of faith is no leap at all. A few of the poems are translated into song lyrics so easy. I would have enjoyed the words more spoken for more impact. In its current format, the gospel like sound of Alston's words blended with music by Michael Westbrook makes for an enigmatic mix inspirational. With Westbrook's music that stirs with power, he should rate a CD for just of his music. His words are words of conviction, which should make many in the masses, take notice. I did feel shorted. There are only eight poems covered. I would hope on Mr. Alston's next CD (and there should be many more), he has more poetry in this format or more spoken.

FAITH. Gospel CD- Debut CD (2003) by Stanley E. Alston

Faith... An absolute trust in God that the impossible can be accomplished. Will show, tell and demonstrate the Glory to God. All ears are eager to hear the first release of songs from the book titled "Faith Love & Life" A Collection Of Poems & Songs written by Stanley E Alston ISBN 0-9719897-0-2.

It's intense with spiritual creativity as it reveals, the struggle of Flesh and Spirit, the pain and joy of understanding the walk by Faith, and not by sight. A Traditional Gospel Style is represented in the soul stirring song "My Life Belongs To Jesus" as this artist confesses his love of God. The acappella version of "Search Me" written by the Father of Gospel Music "Thomas Andrew Dorsey", is proof that a great voice needs no accompaniment.

"Tell The Lord I Love You" the intro song is profound with a spiritual romance of our awareness of creation, and the obedience requested by God. This blend of today's Cultural Rhythm is demonstrated in the tracks "Sky To Be Free" and "Lord I Believe".

The toe tapping, foot slapping, emotional track titled "Do You Know About Jesus" will take you into a hypnotic frenzy. These tracks, and the track "Love" are sure to change the way our young poets and traditionalist will view Gospel Music forever.
