I have known Jeff for a few years and was massively excited when I found out he was FINALLY in the studio. If you know Jeff he is a hard guy to pin down, multitalented and never does anything unless he can make it unreal. Knowing this I was pumped to eventually hear the EP.

Two things are important to me about music, the first is the story and the integrity behind it, knowing and sharing a bit in Jeff and Melani's story over the last few years means that I can completely recommend his songs because they are representative of his life and the journey he is riding.

The second point of value for me is how writers go about the challenge of tackling the realities of relationship. In the case of Everything Grace the way that Jeff looks at the balance between wrestling with everyday struggles and the understanding of the solidness of god is uniquely and masterfully executed.

I personally identify with 'Rest' and 'Overflow" the best. Listen carefully though as there must be a million subtle layers in these tracks, I hear a different instrument or backing vocal on almost every listen.

Jeff is a great guy doing great stuff. Enjoy it.

I was talking with my friend today. She was telling me how your cd continues to get more and more better as she listens. Kind of like continuing revelation that grows.
After her sharing that I decided to listen to your music again on myspace and let me tell you God has really used your music today to minister to me. She was right. There is a simpleness and freedom, dependency in the lyrics...and the sound evokes freedom and joy. Though the lyrics express simplicity, they are not cheesy or trite, but rather, from a place that goes much deeper--that has given or birthed such a freedom to express in a different fashion the simplicity of our loving God.
Thank you. For the gift of music God has given to you, for it truly has ministered to my soul and spirit today, he used it greatly.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say that your music has been blessing me immensely. I am stirred to worship every time I listen. Your story and your heart really come through in every song and it has been a privilege to be one of the first to enjoy the finished product. Anyways, just wanted to encourage you...though I am sure you will be inundated with praise on the 11th at 11:11pm (love that by the way!).Great, glad you were encouraged! This morning I stuck your songs on and just felt the urge to paint. It was awesome...just me and my creator creating together.

Oh heavens YES!

 First, the track ‘Rest’ is great. And when I say "great," I mean absolutely brilliant. I was listening to the intro in calm anticipation for the first kick drum. Right when the first kick hits my face lit up with joy. From that point I literally starting tearing up. I think primarily because the song is speaking directly to my heart, and I can sense God smiling and shaking his head (up and down) implying, "Yeah, that's what I want you to do." As in, He wants me to rest in His name, faithfulness, redemption, and son. Oh so sweet. Secondly, I am also proud of you man. This is rad and I know how much blood, sweat, love, and consideration went into this album. Bravo bro. Bravo.  –Joey Brigleo  Ventura, Ca

"Jeff's heart is on display, Christs heart is on display, what more could we ask for? The Everything Grace project literally does bring grace to our ears, spirits, and minds. Through unique composition and a posture of worship, he really brings the listener into a God encounter every time the play button is pushed."

My favorites are everything grace and rest, but I truly love ALL the others. I have had no problem leaving the five songs playing over and over in my car, while I read, and while i sleep... seriously draws me into worship. I love that the tracks are all unique, yet there is an underlying root system that seems to keep them all tied together.

Dear Jeff and band,
My name is Mickie.  My husband, Darrell and I have a daughter, Krystle, who is 20 years old, with a siezure disability.  At age 2, she was diagnosed with leukemia.  After going through chemotherapy for 2 1/2 years she went into remission and has been in remission for 18 years.  3 years after finishing chemotherapy, she developed a seizure disorder.  For 15 years we have been trying to control these with medication and prayer, believing something would somehow need to be done.  2 years ago, a doctor from Stanford University discovered she had what they call a malformed blood vessel on the brain, and she would need surgery.  Krystle has had 2 surgeries and her seizures have calmed down quiet a bit.  About a month ago, one of my co-workers shared your new CD with me.  3 weeks ago, Krystle had a hard series of seizures during the morning.   I put this CD in her player, layed down on her bed beside her and started praying.  After it got into the 3rd song "Rest" Krystle had become calm and was able to relax, and get some sleep.  It was like she knew the Lord was telling her to just "rest" and he would take control.  This CD is one of our favorites.
my husband and I wanted to say thank you to you and your band for sharing this wonderful music.  Thank you for sharing the Lords love. 

Darrell and Mickie Bailey
