This compilation of modern worship and praise is the end result of a songwriting contest where over 300 worship leaders submitted 750 songs. Nathan Nockels serves as the producer of the project.
Among the artists performing these songs are: Laura Story, “What a Savior;” Phil Wickman, “One Who Overcomes;” and Fee, “Beauty of the Cross.”
Jeremiah Jones, who wrote “What a Savior,” says “While there have been countless inspired worship songs produced for the Church by the music industry, it’s refreshing to hear well-worn, time tested songs written by local leaders.”
This is one of those rare records where I enjoyed every song. Some of the standouts include “Love is the Answer,” “What a Savior,” “A Thousand Amens (Doxology),” “Emmanuel,” and “Because of Your Love.”
Several of these songs should receive wide acceptance.
The Catalyst organization was conceived at a Next Generation Leaders Conference in 1999 by Andy Stanley, Reggie Joiner, John Maxwell, and Lanny Donoho. It was created to meet the felt need that existed for a leadership event that was focused on a new generation of church leaders, by creating a conference specifically focused on leaders under the age of 40. Over half a million leaders around the world are connected to the Catalyst community through events, resources, unique gatherings, online communities, social media and relational networks.
