A cheap and cheerful boxed repackage of three of the good bishop's past products, 1996's 'Woman Thou Art Loosed' CD, 1998's 'Live From The Potter's House' CD and 2000's 'The Best Of T D Jakes' DVD. As the latter DVD contains video versions of songs from 'Woman Thou Art Loosed' and 'Live From The Potter's House' this is a rather confusing package for Joe Punter. If you've not heard 'Woman Thou Art Loosed' it was a groundbreaking ministry event through music and Scripture which will make the hairs on your neck stand up as T D talks about reclaiming things that the Enemy has stolen from us. Such superb soloists as Juanita Bynum, Shirley Caesar and Vickie Winans bring soul power to the proceedings while the live recording at the Superdome resonates with atmosphere. 'Live From The Potter's House' presents the Potter's House Mass Choir in traditional gospel mode with a large serving of upbeat piano and funky beats. From the lively opener "Majesty" to the melodic and soulful "Lord My God" I was touched by the enthusiasm of all those singing and the beautiful atmosphere that filled the room as I listened. The final instalment 'The Best Of T D Jakes' features atmospheric footage of these two CDs plus material from 'Sacred Love Songs'.
