When you are halfway through an immense pile of CDs to review it's probably quite helpful to read Liz Babb's wise words, "Overload is a sign that we're trying to do too much and are in danger of crashing. . . Excessive busyness can be addictive, but the law of balance tells us that is we have excess in one area, we'll pay for it in another." Endeavouring to finish this review after such insights I can report that, like the other works in the series The Celtic Heart and The Pilgrim Heart, this is another successful teaming of Liz Babbs' short yet deep devotional writings in a beautifully presented book (full of glorious scenic photography) packaged with an eight-track mini-album by composer and flautist Simeon Wood. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful piano and flute "Chilling Out" which encourages just such an action. I think I'll make this the last review for today.
