Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten years, thousands of church leaders have successfully transformed congregations with the principles from the original Five Practices: Radical Hospitality, Passionate Worship, Intentional Faith Development, Risk-Taking Mission and Service, and Extravagant Generosity. However, much has changed in the world and the Church. Leaders have discovered new ways to implement the Five Practices in settings that were not imagined when the original book was released. This revised and updated edition of the ministry leadership classic includes a significant amount of new material. How are the Practices being used now, in new types of congregations? How has each Practice changed in the last decade? What new issues or concerns do leaders need to consider in relation to each Practice? This revision provides leaders with a 'next step' look at the original practices. Schnase gathered ideas and other content from ministry leaders who have been using the Five Practices, and explains how those ideas work, how leaders adapted the principles to their own settings, and how they expanded them. A new preface redefines 'Congregations' given their evolving nature. When the original book was written, the new forms of Christian community either did not exist or were barely known. The Five Practices are, however, just as essential to the new types of congregations as they were to the traditional church. Since the original book, there is more variety, diversity, and experimentation in worship. The revised Five Practices includes material based on these new forms. Small group study has always been important for intentional faith development. But since the original book, the nature of those groups has transformed to include secular settings and a wide variety of affinities profoundly affecting how faith leaders approach issues of faith development, and in many cases radically changes what they offer in their communities. Imagine the topic of Risk-Taking Mission and Service before Black Lives Matter, the Syrian refugee crisis, and the Trump administration. This new version gives instruction and specific ideas for how we might best serve today’s world.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: In Gear Up!, Kay Kotan outlines nine areas of ministry where congregations must intentionally design a process.

Book excerpt: Everyone worships. But Jesus tells us that God is seeking a particular kind of worshiper. In True Worshipers, a seasoned pastor and musician guides readers toward a more engaging, transformative, and biblically faithful understanding of the worship God is seeking. True worship is an activity rooted in the grace of the gospel that affects every area of our lives. And while worship is more than just singing, God’s people gathering in his presence to lift their voices in song is an activity that is biblically based, historically rooted, and potentially life-changing. Thoroughly based in Scripture and filled with practical guidance, this book connects Sunday worship to the rest of our lives—helping us live as true worshipers each and every day.

"The Elijah Generation" is an opportunity for men to take a good, hard, honest look at their lives in light of the standard of God's Word. Based on years of study and prayer into the lives of Elijah and John the Baptist, this book draws attention to 30 godly attributes to pray into your life. It is written to be practical. After applying the truths presented, are you ready to accept "The Proposal" at the end of the book? It's time to lose our lives for Jesus' sake, that we can truly find them. It's time to see, "What would happen if I gave myself completely over to God?" It's time Jesus receives all we can offer for the praise of His glory as we live in light of eternity. Author Bio: Wade McHargue graduated summa cum laude from Moody Bible Institute with a BA in International Ministries. He has been in full time ministry as a youth pastor, inner city pastor, and a missionary to West Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship That Pleases God: The Passion and Reason of True Worship is a comprehensive book ranging far beyond the sanctuary to the private altar, to the heart of the worshiper and even to the workplace. Whole-life worship is the kind that pleases God. "...let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praiseÉAnd do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased (Hebrews 13:15, 16 NIV). A worship leader for more than thirty years, Dr. Phifer, brings a passionate writing style and sound biblical interpretation to this search for the meaning of "spirit and truth" worship (John 4:24). Dr. Phifer believes that True Worship establishes the Kingdom of God in our hearts, our homes, our places of worship as well as in the workplace and the marketplace. This book is about much more than what happens on Sunday morning. "Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit," the three characteristics of the Kingdom of God found in Romans 14:17, form the themes of each section of the book. Section One, Righteousness, deals with a biblical theology of worship. Dr. Phifer offers biblical definitions for the essential elements of worship and he presents seven biblical models for worship. Section Two, Peace, presents the priority of worship as the factor of church life that is intended to bind generations and cultures together in a bond of peace. Section Three, Joy, treats the daily life of the believer dealing with issues of craftsmanship, creativity and the spiritual warfare of private worship. Paul urged the Roman church to "...present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (of worship)" (Rom 12:1 NKJV [NIV]). Worship That Pleases God is a passionate book presenting that reasonable service of worship to God. HR ALIGN=LEFT

Book excerpt: In today's society, with all of its wide array of allurements that bid for the eye, pampers the soul, and consumes the thoughts and conversations, the Christian and non-Christian have done one thing, and that is throw God in the backseat of the heart and mind. Societal wants have compromised biblical truths, but God is looking for believers through whom he could work, just as he had in the early church era, so that He would be what consumes the thoughts and conversations of those who profess to be believers. This book has biblical qualities that God is calling for His believers to have, which will leave the majority of you in awe of God, as you will find in one powerful testimony in this book.
