In a Christian music age when seemingly every local church, let alone an influential stream/denomination like New Frontiers, are recording worship albums it needs to be something special to register. So I'm pleased to report that this album did indeed connect with me. It not only features some great songs tailor-made to lift your congregation into the presence of God but this atmospheric recording conveys all the excitement and abandon of a large gathering going all out for God. The worship leaders Stuart Townend, Lou Fellingham, Evan Rogers and Kate Simmonds are quality, the band get up a fair head of steam and songs like "Praise Is Rising (Hosanna)" are strong enough to connect with churchgoers worldwide.
