Sing!
Author: Keith Getty
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 146274267X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 107
Book Description
Sing! has grown from Keith and Kristyn Getty’s passion for congregational singing; it’s been formed by their traveling and playing and listening and discussing and learning and teaching all over the world. And in writing it, they have five key aims: • to discover why we sing and the overwhelming joy and holy privilege that comes with singing • to consider how singing impacts our hearts and minds and all of our lives • to cultivate a culture of family singing in our daily home life • to equip our churches for wholeheartedly singing to the Lord and one another as an expression of unity • to inspire us to see congregational singing as a radical witness to the world They have also added a few “bonus tracks” at the end with some more practical suggestions for different groups who are more deeply involved with church singing. God intends for this compelling vision of His people singing—a people joyfully joining together in song with brothers and sisters around the world and around his heavenly throne—to include you. He wants you,he wants us, to sing.

Book Description
ENDORSEMENT Dear Reader, If you are hungering and thirsting for more depth of love and more reasons to rejoice in your relationship with Almighty God, this is a book for you. For many years, Igho Yegbeburu has lived with one desire: to see the glory of God revealed on earth. He is a born-again, Spirit-filled, and Spirit-anointed child of God who seeks to be a man after God's own heart. In this book you will be able to eat the fruit of his walk with the Lord and taste of the Lord's gracious and powerful work in his life. I want to warn you: this is not a book to be read at one sitting. Before you read, prepare your heart with prayer. Prepare to give thanks; prepare to rejoice; prepare to repent; prepare to cry out for God to move in your heart and life in a new and more powerful way. I did and I was blessed. You will be too! Rev. (Dr.) Paul O. Davidson Oneida, Kentucky USA P.S. Plan to read this book more than just once. I do, and I also plan to get many copies to give away. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Igho Lewis Yegbeburu is a seminary graduate with a bachelor's degree. After his training, he served as associate pastor leading church music, discipleship, prayer, and counseling ministries. In 2005 he obeyed God's leading to resign from this position to dedicate his life to promoting a deeper understanding of true and passionate worship. He is the president of The Glorious Fountain Ministries, an interdenominational ministry committed to promoting worship through music since 1994. His life and ministry are blessed with the grace and presence of God. Igho and his wife, Toyin, are blessed with three adorable children: David, Sharon, and Bliss.

Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310874297
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
“What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.

Mirror Ball
Author: Matt Redman
Publisher: David C Cook
ISBN: 0781407222
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Internationally known worship leader and songwriter Matt Redman invites readers to a deeper understanding of what it means to reflect God’s dazzling radiance. In Mirror Ball, Redman eloquently illustrates why passion is more than a song or a feeling. It’s a story of guts and glory, pain, and purpose. For anyone ready to follow Jesus, passion is a way of life. Through story, Scripture, and practical inspiration, Redman encourages readers to remember that, however inadequate they may feel to live out this passion, God will work in and through them, just as light radiates through the smallest prism. After all, the same God who said “let there be light” has made His light to shine in their hearts, illuminating their lives and the lives of those around them.

Flow
Author: Lester Ruth
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1501899007
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
Is there a way to do the prescribed or suggested orders of worship from denominational worship resources—such as the United Methodist Book of Worship, Evangelical Lutheran Book of Worship, the Book of Common Worship of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), or the Book of Common Prayer—in a way that feels legitimately and authentically contemporary? This practical, how-to book will help churches plan and implement passionate and invigorating worship. Step by step, author Lester Ruth and contributors Zachary Barnes, Andrew Eastes, Jonathan Ottaway, Adam Perez, Glenn Stallsmith and Deborah Wong break down the process of re-thinking what the official or recommended order of worship is truly suggesting, so pastors and worship leaders can plan and lead a service of Word and Table that feels genuinely relevant and attuned to the congregation’s culture. With this goal, Flow casts a new, but classic, understanding of traditional worship as well as spurs a reconsideration of how contemporary worship can be done by honoring the traditions of denominational congregations.
