You may want to compress it, and then normalize it.
You could also have a play around with a limiter.

  Ok, so I have my cd that I've recorded of a folk treo. Its mainly accapella, 
and I want it to be as loud as possible on the cd, to be comparible with 
commercial cds, but when I put a real cd in and compare the files, the cd audio 
is much louder than my recordings. If I try to squeeze any more decibals out of 
it, it clips. Does anyone have any tips for mastering, so that I can get it on 
to the cd sounding loud but still fresh.
