Book Description
In this book, the author shares the story of her personal spiritual learning quest and the specific strategies that were effective for her spiritual growth. During a particularly demanding time of her life, Linda felt a longing for peace and spiritual connectedness. In those very busy days, she questioned whether she was following the Great Commandment to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Luke 10:27). She was dissatisfied with the lack of spiritual growth she experienced in the habits of praying silently and passively reading devotionals. Learning to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength became a focus of private study and journaling, which led to this book. Linda began integrating short, practical routines throughout her days, creating several brief periods of daily spiritual connectedness. Utilizing multisensory learning strategies that she used with her students, she discovered more meaning in her spiritual life. She concluded that part of loving God fully means loving him more actively as opposed to having a passive and lukewarm relationship with God. Linda feels passionate about sharing these multisensory teaching methods for personal spiritual growth--evidence-based effective strategies that are widely used in academic settings but are rarely used in spiritual learning. The author suggests practical ideas for connecting with God throughout busy days, ways requiring more involvement and more mental focus. Also, Linda offers spiritual learning ideas, which address individual differences in learning styles and types of intelligence as opposed to the same methods for everyone. Following the ideas in this book will keep your mind more focused on your relationship with God throughout the routines of your day while bringing more passion to your spiritual learning.

Most preaching and teaching in the church engages only one of the senses—hearing.

Pages : 216
Book Description
"In this book Kim Miller and the worship team of Ginghamsburg Church share what they've learned about how worship can touch and transform all of God's people, drawing them into a deepening experience of God's love, and setting them on the path of Christian service and discipleship. While many books have discussed why new worship styles are necessary if churches are to reach the pre-Christian population of North America, too few have provided solid, practical aids to planning and executing such worship. Here the reader will find inspiring calls to worship, amusing and illuminating dramas, meaningful corporate prayers, suggestions for uplifting music, and many other solid, practical ideas on preparing for and executing worship in a contemporary key." "The CD-ROM included with this book showcases a catalog of images that have been used as a part of the multi-sensory worship experience at Ginghamsburg, and includes a short introduction about how to incorporate visual images into a worship service."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Protestant Worship
Author: O. Wesley Allen, Jr.
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1501842668
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 681
Book Description
Students and leaders of worship strive to plan and lead worship well, in all sorts of circumstances. They and their fellow worshippers seek to experience a deep connection with God and with each other. In some ways, worship is about just that: connection. Protestant Worship: A Multisensory Introduction for Students and Practitioners teaches and actually demonstrates how the actions, reactions, outpourings and responses of a worship service are all part of a powerfully interwoven and ever-evolving whole. Author Wes Allen uses the analogy of physics--with its concepts of the big bang, time, space, matter, energy and chaos--to teach beginning and practicing worship leaders the fundamentals of Protestant worship. The enhanced e-book version offers photos, graphics and even videos demonstrating the book’s key content. Readers can immediately see examples of infant baptism in a contemporary service, for instance. Readers will gain understanding and build skill, to lead worship well. Many worship textbooks are written from a high liturgical perspective, weighted toward historical tradition; this approach often seems irrelevant for students and worship designers who will be planning and leading worship in the evolving twenty-first century church. Other books lean toward the most basic “how-to”, emphasizing contemporary and practical aspects of worship leadership, but offering little historical or theological foundation beyond scripture. Protestant Worship provides a rich and deep foundation, and practical and immediately useful instruction.

Book Description
In this book, the author shares the story of her personal spiritual learning quest and the specific strategies that were effective for her spiritual growth. During a particularly demanding time of her life, Linda felt a longing for peace and spiritual connectedness. In those very busy days, she questioned whether she was following the Great Commandment to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Luke 10:27). She was dissatisfied with the lack of spiritual growth she experienced in the habits of praying silently and passively reading devotionals. Learning to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength became a focus of private study and journaling, which led to this book. Linda began integrating short, practical routines throughout her days, creating several brief periods of daily spiritual connectedness. Utilizing multisensory learning strategies that she used with her students, she discovered more meaning in her spiritual life. She concluded that part of loving God fully means loving him more actively as opposed to having a passive and lukewarm relationship with God. Linda feels passionate about sharing these multisensory teaching methods for personal spiritual growth-evidence-based effective strategies that are widely used in academic settings but are rarely used in spiritual learning. The author suggests practical ideas for connecting with God throughout busy days, ways requiring more involvement and more mental focus. Also, Linda offers spiritual learning ideas, which address individual differences in learning styles and types of intelligence as opposed to the same methods for everyone. Following the ideas in this book will keep your mind more focused on your relationship with God throughout the routines of your day while bringing more passion to your spiritual learning.
