This 40-page booklet containing words and music of 15 Graham Kendrick songs is the ideal item to go with the CD of the same name. That CD, featuring as it does tracks from "Shine Jesus", "Is Anyone Thirsty" and "Illuminations", demonstrates that Graham is one of the most sensitive and theologically inspired songwriters. In his forward Graham emphasises the importance of intercession as part of public worship and here there are many songs which will draw a congregation into prayer. There are some classics - "O Lord The Clouds Are Gathering" - and others which will be unknown to many congregations. But the quality of the songwriting never wavers.
