The Mandate is, as far as I know, Europe's biggest Christian men's conference and now that it takes place at Belfast's Odyssey Arena it has an atmosphere, as this live CD conveys, which is at times quite breathtaking. Since his link up with Integrity Music, Robin Mark has become a major figure on the international worship scene and here, helped by a fine band, he leads a throng through a well selected set of songs and choruses. Particularly good is a stirring version of Keith Green's "There Is A Redeemer" though some could argue that songs like "Amazing Grace", the Maranatha! Music chorus "As The Deer" and "Be Thou My Vision" are just a bit too predictable even though these versions are presented with passionate Celtic aplomb. Overall, this is an album with enough impact to reach far beyond the men who actually attended the Odyssey Arena on 17th November 2007.
