    With a truthful tone and a passionate telling, In the Cool of the Day is good salve for anyone, believer or skeptic.

    Religious music was never a hot button issue, and at no point does this, Moore's latest, feel like anything other than an honest expression of love.

    In The Cool Of The Day sounds like an intimate affair, like Moore has called up his friends and invited them over to the studio upon finding the Steinway piano.

    In the Cool of the Day is far from perfect, though. Moore's smooth vocal delivery suits the more minimal productions well, but it can become cloying when the backing track is too upbeat, such as on the irritating Up Above My Head.

    As it is, In The Cool Of The Day is tasteful when it should be transformative.
