The Broken Bread Christian Alliance is a network of Christian writers, musicians, singers and producers based in Austin, Texas who share the goal of "publish(ing) music that will impact the spirit of men and women, boys and girls for the glory of God, in Christ Jesus". This collection of 14 songs (around an hour of music) is a delightful pot pourri of (mainly gentle) gospel and soul tracks which maintains interest from start to finish and which contains an abundance of musical highlights and charming touches. Every track is strong, and indeed even the majority are linked together by the theme of surrender before God, each can stand alone as a quality piece of writing in its own right. The large number of lead vocalists used across the album is a master stroke, somehow helping, as it does, to stop the end-to-end listen ever seeming to become about the performers and not their music. Excellent compositions performed well give a thoroughly uplifting end-to-end listening experience.
