This is a brilliant package. Nineteen of Maranatha's favourite numbers, presented in, as always, their own inimitable style. If, like me, you've got used to perhaps downgrading Jesus Music at times during your life, only to realise that this is our roots, then you will relax and recall fond memories with this exceptional offering. From the opening Greatest Hit-type track of "Seek Ye First" through to the eponymously titled "Maranatha" you should stop everything - sit back, lie back, close your eyes, indeed anything that puts you at ease, and enjoy, praise and give thanks in whichever way you feel comfortable. All tracks included here are beautiful and testament to a marvellous musical and spiritual movement. Long may the sounds continue. For straight-up Jesus Music this is the top - get it!
