KMC2384 (Cass) £7.99

Doug Horley, writer of 'We Want to see Jesus lifted high' has released another great children's album. Following on from the success of Whoopha Wahey this album will be fun and frantic with tunes that will help children praise and worship the living God.
Deeper
Delirious?
FURYCD5 (CD) £14.99

Delirious may be a long way from home, but the surroundings are strangely familiar: the honesty, the passion. Yet things are a little older now, a little more travelled, worn in over the years of heavy use. These are the songs of reality and struggle, of determination and resolution, these are the songs of experience.
