This is essentially a reissue of a collection of Bob Kilpatrick's most popular songs, dating from 1996. Naturally it includes classics such as "Lord Be Glorified" and "Here Am I" and in fact contains two versions of these, with "new" versions alongside the original recordings. If truth be told, there is almost no difference in arrangement between the two versions of "Lord Be Glorified" and only an expected change in the sound quality of the recording. One or two tracks have quite fresh sounding introductions only to disappear into very '80s sounding instrumentation and production. Probably the best tracks are the last six, which includes the two "original" recordings and the live "Let It Rain", but in all honesty this collection is probably only good for the hardcore supporters of Bob's decades-long ministry.
