A Guide to Worship Ministry

Preaching & Worship

“A Guide to Worship Ministry may be one of most practical and helpful books available for church musicians and worship pastors. Greg shares timely insights for leaders at all stages of their journey, but the book will be especially helpful for those at the beginning of their ministry. Most importantly, he writes from his pastoral heart. His love for Jesus, the Word of God, and the church is evident on every page.”

A Worship Reader

Preaching & Worship

“In so many ways, Ron Man has helped all of us develop a more robust vocabulary in expressing the ‘what,’ the ‘how,’ and the ‘why’ of worship. In this very special volume, Ron synthesizes years of wisdom into short, power-packed studies that can be—and should be—used by worship leaders to help form, shape, and expand the worship vocabulary of their congregations. This book is a treasure!”

Baptists and Worship

Preaching & Worship

“With the precision of a skilled researcher/historian and the heart of a pastor who loves the local church, Scott Connell winsomely and engagingly sounds a clarion call for evangelical churches to embrace two vital (and often overlooked) pillars of corporate worship—the word of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Baptists and Worship will encourage and inspire pastors and worship leaders to design and facilitate meaningful, transformational worship that clearly reflects the beautiful dialogical rhythm of God revealing and his people responding.”

Draw Near

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In a pastoral, conversational, and compelling way, Scott Aniol calls believers to consider more intentionally the soul-nourishing, life-giving realities of daily communion with God. Scripture permeates the pages of this book, and Aniol’s carefully crafted word pictures bring to life well-loved biblical scenes that encourage believers to truly draw near. As I read this beautifully written work, I was deeply encouraged.”

Intentional

Preaching & Worship

“In the ecosystem of corporate worship, many churches (especially Evangelical ones) have become adept at chasing worship fads. In this important work, David Tatum winsomely and convincingly points us to Scripture as he contends for a much-needed awakening of intergenerational worship. His passionate plea for what he calls ‘intentional mutuality’ (the generations engaging and learning from one another) is no fad. I cannot recommend this book more highly.”

Ponder Anew What the Almighty Can Do

Preaching & Worship

Foreword

“We need this study to help us navigate our future, a future that should be marked by our institutions doing more listening to our churches and less prescribing how they should sound; more focused on preparing students for ministry and less on protecting a particular artistic preference.”

The Worship Target

Preaching & Worship

“Bradley Newbold masterfully synthesizes decades of his own worship leading experience with solid biblical, theological, and historical research that is both engaging and inspiring. He nails his ‘target’ of encouraging worship leaders to help their congregations grow in their love for Christ through the weekly worship gathering.”
