This worship album comes from a very controversial figure in the Church. Many hail Benny Hinn as God's anointed prophet for the age. But many more condemn his as a peddler of dangerous heresies and false teaching. His startling heresies are quoted in several Christian books on cults, while "cult watching" organisations in America state that his claims of miracles cannot be substantiated and raise questions concerning his fundraising methods. The intended purpose of this live worship recording at a crusade meeting in Cleveland, USA (with Benny leading some of the songs himself) is hard to fathom. The front cover invites the listener to "Experience the healing power of worship...". A more cynical listener may suggest this project is merely another money-making enterprise for Hinn. Musically speaking, the album is turgid and dull, despite guest appearances from Alvin Slaughter and Don Moen. Old songs, bland arrangements and disappointing quality of singing add up to an uninspiring collection. With so many good worship collections now on the market, this album will be a sore disappointment to anyone but die-hard supporters of the Hinn ministry.
