This is the second solo CD from the multi-talented songwriter, producer and director. The CD's title is taken from the book of the same name written by Pastor Bill Winston of The Living Word Christian Center in Chicago where it was recorded live. The CD holds nothing back from the listener and the preaching styled first track "The Word Of The Lord" is a great opener to this upbeat project. Lawrence is joined by his choir The Co who are deservedly given several opportunities to demonstrate their own individual vocal abilities. This is evident on the "The Blessing Is On You" on which the lead is sung by one of The Co, Kim McFarland-Anderson in a powerful style reminiscent of Ann Nesby. "Back To Eden" is a fast paced, energy packed track that will ensure you are up on your feet dancing. The CD contains a bonus enhanced message from Pastor Bill who gives you an explanation of The Law of Confessions. The prize track would have to be the ballad styled remake of "The Blessings Of Abraham" taken from the 2006 album 'Finale Act 1'. This second CD is consistent from start to finish and demonstrates Chicago-based Donald Lawrence's never ending wealth of talent.
