This is an Integrity Music box set that brings together 2002's 'You Shine', 2005's 'Live In Europe' CDs with the DVD version of 2004's 'Today' in one box. All three sets are the polished performances we come to expect from the experienced Doerksen; 'You Shine', being live from Dublin has a Celtic influence running through it, whilst 'Live In Europe' has more of a compilation flavour about it. 'Today' is a fine example of what you might describe as a worship concert with choirs, orchestra, banners, dancing and a multimedia display. The DVD extras are also well worth a view, as they give an insight into the idea behind the event, as well as a look into the Doerksen family life and ministry. The one problem in buying a box set such as this is the repetition of songs across the three discs (and there is some), but if you have been blessed by the Doerksen ministry and haven't got anything by the pioneering Canadian worship leader then you could do worse than start with this cheap-and-cheerful package.
