This is a sequel to two highly successful collections of short songs for use in worship (Come All You People and There is One Among Us). Here the net is thrown wider with material from AIDS-ridden communities in the developing world side by side with recent output from the Wild Goose Resource Group. An ideal collection for small choirs, social justice enthusiasts, multiculturalists and all who regard themselves as global Christians.
