Faithful is the new album from Scottish worship artist David Lyon. David has a very traditional Celtic sound and writes modern sounding hymns. This is the perfect sort of album to put on for some reflective worship. The lyrics are deep and Biblically rooted. This a simple, traditional album with none of the loops and […]

The Remission Flow – The Light that Flows Review
The Remission Flow are a relatively new band from Monaghan, Ireland. Their debut album, The Light that Floods is out now, and is worth checking out.

Review: The Neon Ambience 'A'
This is a slightly different review to usual, as I’m reviewing a new album of ambient music designed for “reflection, soaking, devotion, meditation, prayer and relaxation” from The Neon Ambience. The album is called ‘A’ and each track is named with a word that starts with A and has a Christian significance (eg agape, adoration, […]
#christianmusicthatdoesntsuck
There is a lot of music out there that as Christians we shouldn’t be filling our minds with – Philippians 4:8 tells us to “fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Which rules out a lot […]

Jason Gray – Christmas Stories Review
This album is one of the better Christmas albums around, as Jason doesn’t take the lazy route followed by so many of just singing some carols, but rather there is a mix of classic traditional songs and new material, plus the classics are reworked with new verses and arrangements so they are fresh. The format […]
Going Deep Review
Going Deep is a strange book by Gordon MacDonald. It is a book about becoming a person of influence with the idea that while the church should be developing deep, influential leaders, they should be people who lead and influence not just within their church but at their workplace and family too. Which sounds all […]
Review: A Heart Like His – Beth Moore
A Heart Like His is a very in depth study of the life of David by Beth Moore. It works through all of David’s life (and in fact starts with several chapters of background on Samuel and Saul and what happened in Israel before David was anointed as God’s chosen King). The book is split […]
Review: Remedy Drive – Resuscitate
Resuscitate is the new album from Remedy Drive. It is full of great sounding light-rock songs that have encouraging messages about how God is for us in the midst of it all, saving our life with His love, offering hope when things don’t make sense, giving us meaning so that we are not lost causes.
