Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - God Is Working

Reviewed by Allan Clare

The back cover claims that this DVD is "more than a video, it's an experience." It's certainly an hour of creatively filmed and edited footage from the famous US church, and it's a colourful hour indeed. The choir is nothing short of resplendent as they worship with faith-filled power-gospel songs ("Nothing Is Impossible" , "All The Way To Calvary") to soulful ballads such as "More Than Enough". What makes this even more interesting (and an excellent evangelistic gift) is that the live worship is interspersed with some moving testimonies. Soloist Robyn Giles sings "It's Amazing" which cuts to her story of finding God after suffering under an abusive mother. Other real life stories include release from racism for a US Deep South Christian and all four of the testimonies in this hour long DVD are told in a hearteningly non-cringeworthy way.
