To You, the “Now Generation.”

– You made us stop and think.
– You gave us new sounds, new thought patterns, new modes of expression.
– You demanded a seriousness of content which many have never known.
– You found Christ’s praise need not be limited to traditional hymn or gospel song form.
– You discovered other media can adapt to the ever contemporary message of out Lord Jesus.

We are now happy to present what you demand – a record in your medium. But it is more than a recording of sounds; it has depth and wealth of insight. Your sensitivity to the message has shown us how to communicate to achieve keener spiritual awareness. With new excitement we share:

He is the Way – Without Him there is no going.
He is the Way – Without Him there is no knowing.
He is the Life – now and eternally.
He satisfies the searching heart and fills man with His love so rich and free.

– The Editors of Youth in Action. [A note featured on the back of the LP sleeve]
