This album, which has been put together over a period of time, outlines the testimony of a singer/songwriter from Lincolnshire in song in the order that they were written. With the addition of an extensive booklet, the intention of the project is to be a tool for evangelism. The songs, all self-penned, represent a huge variety of styles from simple worship songs to reggae, to which Mark's voice adapts comfortably, developing from the first track "Jesus (What A Comfort You Are)" from the late '70s, through to 'You Prepare A Table" written in 2002. The album also benefits from backing vocals from Andy Bromley (Love Mercy) and engineering by Daniel Bowater. The result is a collection of songs which comes together rather well and which showcases a life touched by God.

A pretty good review of my friend and Pastor's album.
Still sounds as good as it did then. Just one of many albums I'ver got in my collection. Most were recommended by your original magazine, which I miss.
God Bless
Yours Faithfully
