There are lots of gospel compilations out there but this series is one of the best. At the time of its release in 2005 this double CD featured never-before-heard cuts from Virtue and Lisa McClendon and although they've now subsequently turned up on albums, there is still much more to enjoy. Standouts include the urban-orientated "Don't Pray And Worry" by J Moss, "Ordinary People" by Mary Mary and "God Has Not 4got" by Tonex while more traditional tastes will be satisfied by Kurt Carr, Donnie McClurkin and Dorinda Clark-Cole. One track though that sticks out like a sore thumb is Papa San's piece of ragga "Step Pon Di Enemy". Still, an impressive sample.
