A WORSHIP GUIDE FOR OLD AND NEW

This is a fantastic book! I was given this book as a fairly new worship leader by a man who was involved in leading worship for many years. It is a quick read and is truly insightful. We all already know about Tim Hughes' powerful song "Here I am to Worship" and this book gets down to talking about just that. What I also love about this book is the praticality of it for worship teams. So many books I've read discuss the condition of the heart which is cruicial to worship; however, Tim's book also talks about the basics of worship teams and leaders such as, drums, sound, finding new band members and so on. I purchased this book for everyone on my worship team for us to read together and within two weeks they were already finished with it. Our drummer has already read it twice. All in all, I've searched multiple times for studies to take the worship team through and just reading this book together has been the most inspiring and insighful.

GREAT BOOK!

I didn't use to read books, but while I was deployed to Japan, I came across this book and changed the way I feel about reading books. ;) This day I just placed an order for 3 more books because of the inspiration I got from reding this book. I strongly recomend it and encourage any musician and singer that are true worshipers to get this book and read it. The author did a great job "keeping it real", allowing the reader to be able to identify with it. May God bless you and prosper you in everything you do.

Here I Am To Worship ...

Worship is all about the heart. If we aren't worshipping God with our hearts we are just a band that sings Christian music. I've got to say this book is really good. It was smaller than I thought it would be but it was really good. I'm actually still reading it but I love it. These small little books are packed with so many useful tips and keeping your hearts focus off you and on God. I especially like the section that deals with the church musicians or praise and worship team to be involved in other responsibilities with the local church, not just music. And how we should also make it a point after we are done playing to not have this exclusivity about us, but that we should interact with the others so that they aren't intimidated by us "cool musicians(stuck up)" and we aren't put on pedal stool. It is a really cool book ... and life won't be the same after you read it. Not some huge dramatic change but it causes you to think and see where your motives are. Are you worshipping God or are you trying to bring the attention on yourself. I love the title, "Never Lose the Wonder of Worshipping God". Go out and read it ...!

Brilliant and Exciting!

I first have to say, this book is one of only few books that I can read, listen to music at the same time and still understand the meaning of the book. I do agree with Dawn about Tim's genuineness in writing this book but disagree about his humor. Tim is not THAT funny, but that is not important. This book is for everyONE, of all ages. Whether you're not a worship leader, wanting to be a worship leader, or a current worship leader, this book is right for you. Just because you are musically talented or gifted and singing worship doesn't mean you are doing the right thing. And even if you cannot sing or play an instrument does not mean God cannot use you in His glory. In this book, Tim teaches us to worship God with the Holy Spirit as our worship leader. Hughes even go as far as what we should look for in a band, how to choose a song list and much more. To make my point clear and simple, read the book. You'll be glad you did.

Great read!

What a wonderful book! Tim is very helpful and very funny! I like the fact that he shares some of his blunders because we all like to know we're not the only ones to make mistakes and his advice is sound, kind and real......Christlike. :o} He is a very genuine young man and a great teacher as well.Get this book!
