Review
The most valuable, beneficial and personally rewarding time we spend each day is the time we set aside, one on one, with God. Very often, a key ingredient of that time is the music we use to worship and focus on Him. It is often difficult to find the right music to fit the bill for those extremely intimate and vulnerable moments of communion and love we spend with our Savior; music that does not distract us from God but rather turns our eyes to Him.
Tom Howard no doubt spends that kind of time with God for he has masterfully captured the mood in his new piano instrumental, Breathe. Drawing on some time-tested Vineyard classics (More Love More Power, Change My Heart Oh God. In the Secret...) and including some of it's more recent favorites (Hungry, Breathe, Dwell...), Tom has provided for us some wonderful "be with God" music.
Tom has three pieces scattered about in the album that he simply entitles Interlude 1, 2, and 3. These are really wonderful. They have the amazing effect, if you allow it, of drawing your heart into a state of stillness... the kind of stillness where you can "be still and know that I am God." Ps. 46:10
If you have a heart like the psalmist David, a heart that yearns and thirsts for God, this album will become a frequent companion of yours in your yearning and thirsting. Thanks, Tom, for sharing with us the fruits of your time with Him.
