試聽過上百張CD， 但這張是我過去兩個月來，一直百聽不厭的一張CD，在此誠摯介紹給您。
很少介紹演唱CD，因每人口味不同，這張讓我心靈振奮的CD也介紹給他人聽，反應也是出奇的好，有人說歌曲如行雲如水溫柔在你耳邊傾訴，不需費力去聽感覺就非常輕鬆自在，有人形容如清泉般地沁涼心脾，又如山澗出的清泉般，使心靈為之一振。她的聲音有如鄧麗君般的溫柔，並且更有靈命深處經歷的確信與成熟。
CD中的十一首曲子編曲、主唱及合音編曲皆由她所作，這是用她的生命所唱出來的一張專輯。
盛曉玫是我在台大法學院同屆校友(那時商學系仍屬法學院)，在校時她就得到英文演講比賽第二名，本想她會是某企業的執行長，沒想到 神的恩典降臨在她身上，使她委身於基督，將餘生獻給神，用天賦的歌喉以及深處的屬靈經歷唱出對主的愛情。才華橫溢的她與夫婿在年輕時就擁有十棟房地產，但神在極短的時間全部取走，讓她看見世間的榮華富貴抓不住也帶不走，反而她在主裡得到了完全的釋放。她的歌聲有你未曾聽過的輕鬆自在。
不久之後她翻譯 "God Will Make a Way" 唱出 "祂為我開路" (asianbookone.com No:105000)一鳴驚人。因那張CD還有另兩位歌手，很多聽眾希望她出個人專輯。她出了一張個人專輯"有愛同行"(asianbookone.com No: 105049)，但今天所推薦的這張"親密的朋友"專輯是最好的，它結合專業的音樂家製作而成她個人福音創作專輯，

I have listened to hundreds of CD demos, but this one, "Dear Friend" by Amy Sand, is one you can listen to over and over again without tiring of it. I seldom introduce music CDs through e-mail because everyone's tastes are different, but this CD received extremely good responses. Some people describe her voice like hearing a gentle running brook, calming your spirit. The songs are relaxing to listen to, like a cool spring refreshing the heart. Amy Sand's voice is both beautiful and tender, like the famous singer from Taiwan, Teresa Deng, but Amy has something that Teresa did not have -- maturity in Christ and the assurance of salvation. And she sings the words that come from her heart.

The eleven songs in this CD, all composed by Amy Sand with the Holy Spirit's leading, feature her as the lead singer, with background singers in many of the songs as well.

Amy Sand is one of my schoolmates from the National Taiwanese University, her first choice of college, where she was admitted to study international business. She also won second place in the college-wide English-speaking competition. She easily got an MBA from UCLA, and I imagined she would become a CEO of an enterprise. But God's grace fell upon her and she became His child; she gave her life to God and then began to use her voice to sing songs inspired by the Holy Spirit, songs of her love towards her Savior.

She and her husband used to own ten real estate properties, but God took them away in a short time, letting her realize and see that the things of this world cannot be taken into the next. She experienced complete freedom in the Lord, and her voice has a rarely-heard quality of happiness and freedom. Her voice appeared in an album in early 1990 where she sang the Chinese translation of the song "God Will Make a Way" (asianbookone.com No:105000). There were also two other singers in that album. The album was a hit. Many audiences expected her to have her own album. She later produced "Dear Friend" (asianbookone.com No: 105049), the CD we are recommending to you today. Professional musicians and original songs written by Amy Sand were combined with her voice to produce this Christian CD.
