In November Christendom's most radical alternative rocker STEVE TAYLOR will be commencing a British tour with Guardian.

Steve took the budget offered by Warner Bros for the video and instead of settling for a standard Hollywood shoot, spent the cash on equipment and air tickets.

During his sojourn around the world, Steve kept a diary. These are extracts from it. [01.10.94]Gary Chapman: The US CCM songwriter returns after a long absence
