In the past Tarver has collaborated with the best-selling worship aggregation Shekinah Glory Ministry and currently serves as minister of music at his home church, Valley Kingdom Ministries International, Illinois which boasts a congregation of several thousand. This album from the Chicago-based worship leader was recorded live with a 3,000-strong audience of Valley Kingdom worshippers and has already proven to be a smash in the US, peaking at number four in the Billboard Gospel Chart. The album is enriched by a highly talented group of musicians (just listen to the musical reprise on "Unsearchable Riches") and backing singers and by first class production that delivers a slick package which manages to remain open to the Holy Spirit and avoid sounding contrived. Tarver's love for Jesus and dedication to building up the congregation is infectious and from the first track to the last, this is quality gospel worship which cannot fail to redirect your thoughts heavenwards.
