Before We Gather

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“the 52 Monster”—the hungry beast devouring our hard work and preparation every Sunday of the year. How can we remain faithful and fruitful in such an unrelenting context? Zac Hicks brilliantly structures Before We Gather as fifty-two pointers to the person and work of the Lord Jesus, fifty- two snacks to get us through to the final feast. It’s what I need, and probably what you need as well. Take up and read!”

Our Hymns, Our Heritage

Preaching & Worship

“Hymns are a great treasury of Christian faith and devotion. Previous generations of believers not only sang hymns in church on Sunday mornings, but carried private copies of their hymnals for personal use throughout the week. In Our Hymns, Our Heritage, David and Barbara Leeman long to give these riches to you, enabling you to carry the truths of these 120 hymns not just in your hymnal, but in your heart as well. May the Lord use this book in his church to make his praise glorious.”

Worship, Music, and Interpretation

Preaching & Worship

“Understanding contemporary worship is difficult for contemporary people because you can’t read the label from inside the bottle. In this collection, Dr. Wendy Porter uses her skills as a musicologist and liturgical historian to lead readers outside the bottle, deftly exploring how music has interpreted and expressed the Christian faith. Page after page shines fresh light that will help scholars, students, and practitioners of Christian worship.”
