US-based songwriter and worship leader Kathleen Fowle's previous releases have had Celtic and ambient tinges to them. Her fourth release sees her tread a more mainstream pop path with a collection of self-penned songs inspired by Scripture and produced for the most part by renowned Nashville producer Jeff Nelson (Ron Kenoly, Cindy Morgan). One of Fowle's main aims is to communicate God's love. Songs like the title track speaks of God's releasing love and the guitar-driven praise song "I Will Fly" certainly fit the bill. Whilst not the most musically adventurous of albums, this is a competent enough release and the inclusion of deft touches such as a Celtic whistle on "At Your Feet" and some U2-like drums and guitar interaction on "Give It All" take their respective tracks to the next level. Occasionally, Fowle's pronunciation makes it difficult to make out the words and, whilst she doesn't have the strongest of voices, she gives an honest and heartfelt performance throughout - especially in the searching "Is It Love" which is arguably the highlight of this God-glorifying release.
