• The True Cost Of Following Jesus

Spring is in the air in Tennessee, USA, and rain is in the air (mostly) in London, England GB. The end of winter and the expectation of Spring and new life. Life is filled with joy and sorrow. Gain and loss. This month we are featuring some of our back catalogue projects which have inspired, comforted and touched many thousands of our listeners, particularly the City Of Gold project. This is the first companion album to the two other main projects in the series: Road To The City, and Shipwrecks And Islands. Read some of the many comments by listeners to City Of Gold here on AMAZON … www.amazon.com  … many of which are profoundly moving.
