As a worship leader I can appreciate a strong resource for powerful songs with which to lead people and this book is none other than that. With piano scores and accompanying chords as well as standard chord sheets and lyrics only this is a much more detailed songbook than the traditional ones. Unfortunately the song selection despite being strong - composers include Matt Redman, Tim Hughes and Brenton Brown - is very select; with only 15 songs I struggle to see the value for money which you would otherwise get from a more comprehensive collection. Having said that, the detail included on the chord charts is, to quote the front cover, enhanced. Each chart includes scriptural references, the song theme, a suggested tempo, the key, vocal range and suggestions for other songs both according to tempo, key and theme.
