This 3 CD box set consists of 55 worship songs from the '70s, '80s and early '90s. It's no surprise then that the style of this album has a very mellow '90s feel about it, reminiscent of the Spring Harvest albums from that era and although the artists are uncredited it's easy to recognise Chris Bowater, Noel Richards, Dave Bilbrough, Dave Fellingham, Heartbeat and Graham Kendrick. This is very much a comfortable worship album, being easy to listen to and containing songs that are easily recognisable, of the variety many churches use in their worship. None of this is by any means a bad thing, but it's a matter of taste. This album has some beautiful songs such as "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross", "From Heaven You Came" and "Change My Heart O God", alongside other less celebrated pieces which would, in all truth, have been better off forgotten. One wonders how much longer Kingsway can go on recirculating their back catalogue in their endless compilations.
