Reviewed by Stuart Blackburn

Herein, Terry MacAlmon leads an evening of worship from the World Prayer Center, Colorado Springs. The word "live" could be questioned as the accompaniment is supplied on the night by programming overlaid with Terry's accomplished keyboard skills. His preferred instrumental voice is a not unconvincing grand piano although it does become plinky-plonky after a while. Terry is supported by backing vocalists Shauna Chanda and Ruth Ann Johnson whose names are buried deep in the closing credits. The majority of the nine songs are Terry's own and they lack distinction. Others, including Darlene's "Shout To The Lord", also fail to stand out and the overall effect is that of worship wallpaper. If this had been a music CD then it might have a little merit, but the decision to burn this to DVD makes no sense. What is there to see? The camera is repeatedly poked into the faces of worshippers with eyes closed, kneeling, praying and with hands raised. It is intrusive and does nothing to inspire worship at home. Theologically all of the songs are extraordinarily lightweight and make precious little contribution to an understanding of the nature and character of God. Charismatic slush worship at its worst.

Stuart Blackburn sounds like a sore loser. "Charismatic slush" is a sad term to apply to this CD, God has blessed worshippers with intimate time alone giving their devotion and praise to God. What is wrong with this? Not all worship songs have to describe the nature and character of God (and dont get me wrong, Terry does sing hymns as well).
