I would agree that many of the songs featured on Kari’s album are geared to personal worship. I’ve concluded that this is a great thing. What an opportunity for individuals to slip away with their iPod and a warm cup of coffee in the mornings and just “rest” in God.

The ReVue Team From Kim Bontrager, Director of Worship at First Mennonite Brethren Church, Wichita, KS I have been a fan of Kari Jobe since first hearing her on live worship recordings from Gateway Church. Her distinctive voice carries some of the most beautiful moments on those projects; her songs focus on the intimate relationship between God and his children. On this solo album, Kari retains these distinctives, but in a context of a studio-produced recording. Of the twelve tracks, four are new arrangements of songs previously released on live worship projects. The new songs retain Kari’s singular focus of creating vehicles of praise; a few would be good to feature as special music in worship, but I don’t see them as great choices for congregational songs. Overall this album is great for personal listening and private worship more than it is a source for corporate worship songs.
