"Wondrous Love is a collection of inspirational hymns performed in a unique blend of Celtic, baroque and new age styles. The album combines relaxing warm vocal performances accompanied by beautiful keyboard and acoustic musical arrangements. #1 on Celtic Christian charts for weeks."

One of the songs dates back to the 4th century and is attributed to St. Patrick. The album is a collection of timeless Celtic and Appalachian hymns. "Wondrous Love is a collection of timeless Celtic and Appalachian hymns - old, haunting melodies that have slipped through many sets of lyrics, some for more than a thousand years, endlessly recreated by each new generation. Local artist Caroline Bowles is one of the current generation who reinterprets these hymns.One of the songs dates back to the 4th century and is attributed to St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Another is drawn from the ancient Liturgy of St. James set to a 17th century French folk tune. Her clear soprano vocals are accompanied by a variety of acoustic instruments, including guitar, cello, oboe, piano, violin, dulcimer, even bagpipes." - Body, Mind & Soul quarterly review, Spring 2001
