I Am a Promise is a Gaither Vocal Band children's album, heavily featuring a chorus of elementary school-age kids who also step out as soloists along with the group members.

While "God Loves to Talk to Little Boys When They're Fishin'" seems aimed at sentimental parents, many of the tracks are singalongs intended to involve the youngsters while reinforcing a version of the Christian faith they can understand at their ages. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
