This three CD box set has much to recommend it with plenty of worship gems like Tim Hughes' "Happy Day", Ben Cantelon's "You're The Light", Delirious?' "History Maker" and Brenton Brown's "Adoration" all sung by the original artists (even if they aren't credited on the sleeve). The compilation also has some pretty good worship songs which are lesser known, from the likes of Aaron Keyes, Stuart Barbour and Robert Critchley. The difficulty is that quite a few of these tracks have already been heard on other compilations and the theme of the album may have helped it sell a few around Father's Day but is pretty meaningless otherwise.

Product Description
Fifty songs. Three CDs. Masses of worship that gets right to the heart of the matter. So what’s not to love about this new compilation?
It’s a great triple album, featuring some great covers (Christine Dente’s version of Matt Redman’s Once Again stands out particularly, just like Cathy Burton’s version of the Hillsong classic Mighty To Save).
There are original artist recordings too - and great ones at that. Stuart Townend’s In Christ Alone never gets old, and Brenton Brown’s Everlasting God never gets tired. Add in Blessed Be Your Name, Surrender and The Father’s Song and it’s a winner from start to finish.
