Pat Barrett - Review

This album is honest. Just look at the opening lyrics of the album’s first track, ‘Into Faith I Go’: ‘I've never been good at change If I'm honest, it's always scared me’ You won't hear more naked words than these in worship. Not since (the absolutely br...

Love Song for a City by Martin Smith - Review

I don’t see how this can be topped. Recording an album is a huge technical feat in itself; recording a live album takes all that and puts it in real time. Now imagine doing that over a dozen times in a dozen countries. That is what went into Delerious?-frontman Martin Smith’s new...

Stir a Passion by Worship Central - Review

I was listening to an album recently and didn’t realise it was a live album. At least, not for the first four or five songs. It was so neat, so controlled, that I just assumed it was recorded in the studio with a generous number of backing vocalists. Everything was just right, but almo...

Casting Crowns It's Finally Christmas EP review

If someone asked you to sum up all of Christmas, what would you say? I’ve tried, and I am certain it is impossible. I could mention the nativity, but then I would forget family traditions. I could talk turkey, but would then miss out salvation for all humanity. It seems an impossible t...

The Peace Project - Review

I’m sat here at my desk, hot drink by my side, wearing a Christmas jumper of a polar all bear tangled up in Christmas lights (which actually light up!). The weather outside is bright, the sky a hard blue, and faint wisps of breath can be seen when I go outside. This may not seem like t...

How many of your favourite things were found by accident? A meal on a set menu that you decided to take a chance on; a second-hand book that only cost a couple of quid; a favourite top that you found buried beneath 20 others that didn’t appeal. The things we love are often the things ...

Sing! New Book from Keith & Kristyn Getty

Why do we sing at Church? From the tone deaf to the pitch perfect, everyone sings in Church. Often, we don’t really ask why. We just turn up, stand up, and sing.
