"Lara exudes a love for Jesus Christ when she sings - whether leading congregations or performing.  Her songs reflect a deep commitment to scripture while performed with warmth and passion.  Lara's other great strength is in equipping others to do music ministry better - and has been a great blessing to those who have come to her song leading and ministry training sessions." - Philip Percival, Emu Music

"'Out of the Depths' - what a wonderful debut for a very talented artist! Lara Goudie is a familiar face around the Sydney Christian music scene.  Scarcely a week goes by when Lara is not serving someone with her music gifts. But here for the first time we get a look inside, and our first taste of what she has to say as a songwriter and solo performer. Deeply personal reflections on life and faith are conveyed with honesty and subtlety. And the musicianship and production deliver Lara's thoughts to us beautifully. We always knew she was a great vocalist -- now we know she's a great songwriter too." - Andy Judd, Garage Hymnal

"Lara's music reflects the depth of her relationship with the Lord.  Her lyrics speak of life experiences as being shaped by the good purposes of the Father.  She expresses a heart-felt desire to be made more like Christ through life's many difficult lessons: a sound theology, which is matched by her radiant voice and musicality." - L-T Hopper, Senior Pastor, Lakeshore Community Church of Christ

"Lara lights up the room whenever she sings.  She is committed to truth and passion, and this is reflected in her words and music." - Jodie McNeill, Anglican Youthworks
