Small Sacrifice is the sixteenth studio album by Christian singer-songwriter Twila Paris. It was originally released independently on Paris' Mountain Spring Music imprint available at her website and at LifeWay Christian Stores in late 2007. The album married the two parts of her career by including both inspirational pop/adult contemporary songs and original praise and worship compositions. Her first radio single from the album "Live to Praise" climbed to number 3 on Radio and Records' Christian Inspirational chart. Small Sacrifice was released for wider distribution by Koch Records on February 24, 2009. Production was handled by John Hartley, who produced Paris' 2001 Dove Award winning children's music album Bedtime Prayers: Lullabies and Peaceful Worship.

Critical reception



Mark Lawrence of Cross Rhythms said of Small Sacrifice that the album "combines songs for congregational worship such as the piano-driven, hymn-like 'I Can Do All Things' and the upbeat pop of 'We Know Love' with more adult contemporary tracks such as the folksy/Celtic infused 'There Is A Plan' and the hauntingly beautiful ballad 'You Lead Me' which takes the listener on a journey through Psalm 23." Lawrence mentions that the title song and "Lord I Need You" are the quieter tracks "where her voice lifts and gives life to the simple melodies. At times the balladry slips squarely into the middle-of-the-road and the congregational worship songs are just a hotch-potch of tired clichés such as on 'Live To Praise.' But overall Twila sounds as fresh now as she did 25 years ago."
