This is probably them most innovative and inspiring worship album I have heard this year. This five-song CD has 10 tracks with each song flowing seamlessly into extended spontaneous worship, which is often longer than the initial song. For example, the follow-on to "I Surrender" clocks in at nearly 11 minutes! Kim currently leads worship and pastors the worship team at Bethel Church (formerly Assemblies of God) in Redding, California where this album was recorded live. The production quality is so good you could easily think it was a studio recording. The congregation are heard from time to time to reinforce the "live" feel, but they are not intrusive. The band, on the other hand, are quite superb. Guitars, keyboard, drums and bass with the occasional mandolin. Is there really only one backing singer? Now, if you're familiar with Pentecostal or charismatic worship that often ends with a brief time of singing in tongues this will still excite you. If you're not, Kim and the worship band demonstrate how inspired, spontaneous worship can maintain and build on the theme and energy of the original songs. The joy of this album is the way Kim and the band move from the original arrangements of songs like "I Asked You For Life" and "I Have Found" and develop new, spontaneous songs where both vocals and musicians move in new directions and yet never seem to lose their way or lose track of each other.

I "somehow" (God) surfed onto the How He Loves Us video the other night and immediately felt the Lord's presence all over me. It was AMAZING. Now, when I'm having a difficult time, I just watch one of her many videos and get right back in touch with my God.
Much thanks to Him for giving us her music!!!

I've seen her on YouTube.
Awesome stuff. Some of the most inspiring worship I've ever heard, (along with Misty Edwards and Morning Star)...
Where can someone from the UK purchase this CD (or download it)?
