This collection of "music that inspired the television series 7th Heaven," a family drama following the exploits of "the Camdens," a Christian family living in California, features
Steve Plunkett's alternately grating and uplifting theme song, as well as 11 inspirational tracks from artists such as
Mahalia Jackson ("Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho"),
Mavis Staples ("Have a Little Faith"),
Wynonna ("What the World Needs"), and
Bill & Gloria Gaither, whose impossibly goofy "Get on the Happy Side of Living" is the album highlight. ~ James Christopher Monger
