Over 60 minutes of music from an intriguing mixture of British CCM acts (Phil Lawson Johnston, Adrian Snell, Graham Kendrick, Dave Markee, Dennis & Dale, Norman Barratt and Noel Richards) with a couple of Americans (Phil Keaggy and Kathy Troccoli) in there for good measure. The raison d'etre for the album is CARE'S pro-life campaign and though not every song carries an explicit anti-abortion message those that do are by turns passionate and moving while the others like Noel Richards' timeless "Let Your Love Come Down" really add to the ambience of the Father's caring love. The standouts for me are Kathy Troccoli's moving "A Baby's Prayer", the haunting Adrian Snell and Caroline Bonnett's duet "Silence" and Norman Barratt's re-recording of "I Know Where You Are" (never before on record). A fine compilation which puts across its life-and-death message with sensitivity and no little artistry.
