On her self titled sophomore album, Jaci Velazquez delivers on the promise of her stunning debut, HEAVENLY PLACE, bringing her powerful vocal style and inspirational faith into the context of contemporary Christian music. A lifetime of religious devotion is obvious on every track of JACI VELAZQUEZ, and what makes her so special is her willingness to reach deep within herself and share both the special fears and the unique joys that face Christians who struggle to keep their faith in today's world.

From the gentle innocence of "Look What Love Has Done" to the soul-searching drama of "Little Voice Inside," Jaci invites the listener to follow her down the often-rocky path to salvation. On "Show You Love," she turns playful, showing that her brand of faith has room for the whole spectrum of human experience. She even explores God's point of view on the powerful "Child Of Mine," while "Speak For Me" returns to the testimonial of Jaci herself, humble before her Creator in spite of the tremendous talent and great success He has granted her. minimize
