Five worship albums that have blessed me in 2010

1. Kristen Mueller, Those who Dream: A friend recommended this to me and it has been a real tonic in the last couple of days. A never tire of renditions of 'Amazing Grace' and the song 'Praise the Lord' has been a real blessing to me.

2. Joe Day, Grace: I have listened to this many times and have not exhausted finding ways that this album encourages me and turns my heart to Jesus.

3. Kim Walker, We Cry Out: The chorus of 'He loves us oh how he loves us' has been sung often this year by our church and what a wonderful thing this is to sing. Jesus loves us.

4. Here is love: This is a mix of different songs that have been played in the car on many a long journey this year.

5. Glory revealed 2: Scripture set to country music which might seem odd but this has given me great strength at points during the year.  I have got used to being teased about my love of country music.

Great selection, Rev'd Cooke! I love "Those Who Dream"- particularly the title track. I find "How He Loves" profoundly moving (http://www.billcahusac.com/2010/06/28/loves-like-a-hurricane/).

If you haven't heard Owl City's version of "In Christ Alone" it's well worth a listen- I think it's beauty is in it's simplicity. You can find it at http://ow.ly/3tC4F

Ok, now we need a list of books from you.....
