I am hopeful that this is a new departure in worship - an album to send you to sleep. You could certainly have it on your deck as you hit the pillow and the beautifully tailored female vocal harmonies will have you in peaceful protection before track three - which I know is not the point. Yet, why not? The team, led by producer Stephen Carmichael for Heart Music, have crafted a sensitive and uncomplicated entreaty to find that private holy place. The perfectly blending voices of Aundrea Nyle, Bosede Rea and Susan Harriott gently urge us on through a series of reflections and personal encounters - which create the space you know you need to think, to let go, to drift with the Spirit of the Search. I was sure it all sounded too similar, a little safe, probably self-absorbed - then the second play, and I was hooked. None of the playing intrudes, there's no strident exhortations, no militancy. It is all a truly thoughtful, unassuming set of reflections and a very worthy contribution to the world of worship. Praise, it is not - but it does have attitude. On one or two occasions, the writing has an edge to it. I was tempted to ignore the fact that we are buying two CDs. This simply isn't corporate or congregational material, so why the instrumental (and boring) second album? It is an unnecessary indulgence in an otherwise blemish-free performance; I would even say, seductive. Stay awake and be impressed.

Hello. I was at a place in my life and I desperately needed help. The first thing that came to mind was "The Holy Place" CD however my CD is scratched so I searched on line and found a place where the full album is available to download for FREE as it will not be for sale. "The Holy Place" is my favourite CD when it comes to intimacy and deliverance through Jesus the Christ. I am thankful.

Hi I found this cd today (feb 27th 14) after years of looking for it. I found it at a Christian bookstore online.
The name of the bookstore is Believers bookshop, London. You can call them on 0207 7328899 and order it. I did that today. I was so happy :)

I bought 2 copies of this album for myself & a friend & I'm glad I did!! This album is a blessing from start to finish. I actually got to speak to one of the producers of this album hoping there's a follow-up album but sadly, it wasn't to be!!! I've had this album several years now & it's still a blessing to listen to!!
