This tape is probably the best of the series and best sums up what's contained elsewhere. Here you get the most sublime verson of "See The Valley" which also contains the most humorous introduction of the Blue Angels in the whole series, Loeffler describing which cloud each band member will be sitting on in Heaven! Fun! There's a happy slab of funk in "You Can Be" where Jesus is described as "no sucker... He went into the temple and said, 'Get your behinds outta here'." Street level communication of the gospel and it works. Mark Tirondola's evangelistic testimony "Nine Times No Ten" sums up the entire ministry in that it recognizes the fact that the key for salvation for those listening is the power of God to change. It's refreshing that this ministry preaches a full gospel and it's a testimony to their openness to God and the anointing of God that so many prisoners responded to these concerts, making their way to the makeshift altar to pray and accept Christ and receive literature. These are special tapes, I haven't heard anything else like them. Inspiring, moving, more than just music. In the opening to each tape, Loeffler encourages the listener to listen out for the music which is a little higher than the human ear. I listened and I heard the music of the Holy Spirit and do you know what? He was smiling.
