Jesus Freak Hideout's John DiBiase said that "Bebo Norman's warm and intimate voice is a perfect match for the Christmas season. His first official venture singing original and all-time favorites is a triumph and easily among the greatest CCM offerings in the Christmas genre to date. As this particular Christmas looks to bring with it some truly memorable projects, consider Bebo Norman's Christmas... From The Realms Of Glory to mark one of the first grand achievements for 2007."[2]

gollark: Those are built on `term.write` ultimately, but so is everything there but `term.write` and `term.blit` sooo...
gollark: `textutils` things?
gollark: There're mods to integrate it with AE2 and RS, aren't there?
gollark: True, true. It'll technically *work* if you pick at random or something and nobody will be particularly surprised, but it'd be a nice-to-have.
gollark: Also, sometimes situations where you need to make subjective value judgements about items can occur, and so can loops.
