This is a new venture in showcasing varied styles of a large number (33) of today's worship songs. What takes it above the level of yet another worship compilation is that a bonus DVD also offers a visual interpretation of three songs, "Arise" by Don Moen, "Emmanuel" by Hillsong and "I Surrender All" by Israel & New Breed, each having key words from the tracks emerging in the visual. Other artists included are Twila Paris, SonicFlood, Casting Crowns, Michael W Smith, Lincoln Brewster, Parachute Band and United. Several tracks are live and a few tracks give a different feel to that of the original artist, notably Faithful Central's gospel version of Paul Baloche's "Open The Eyes Of My Heart". Many church-goers will find plenty of the tracks here to their liking and be inspired by the DVD.
