The nine-week study for those who lead worship...and want to worship more deeply. Leading worship takes more than nailing a mean guitar riff. Worship leaders start with knowing about God...come to know God...then feel a deep desire to bring people to God--through worship. This study is for worship leaders, worship teams, and those who want to dive deeper into experiencing authentic worship. Participants will: experience the meaning of true worship, encounter the best motivation for leading worship, explore various methods of worship leading, and embrace the qualities most needed in worship leaders. Daily devotions transform the worshippers' attitudes and fire up their dedication. And each uplifting team devotion takes just 15-20 minutes--just right for grounding rehearsals on a foundation of true, biblical worship.

Grow in Greater Intimacy with God As a woman who wants to follow Jesus in her everyday life, you yearn for intimacy with God. You long to know His presence, to be satisfied in heart and soul, but you don't know how. You feel like you're trudging through your days, making sure you're doing everything you can for Him . . . but you can't shake the feeling that something is missing. Linda Dillow understands. She longed for depth of intimacy with God, but in the middle of a busy and complicated life, realized that she'd settled for serving Him. And when our actions for God are our primary focus, we miss the extraordinary honor of getting to be with Him. So how can we be with Him? Through a life of worship. True worship is both a specific act and a lifestyle. As you learn what it means to bow your knee (the act of worship), you'll gain a renewed intimacy with God. And as you learn to bow your thoughts, words, work, attitudes, will, and even pain (the lifestyle of worship), you'll be drawn into God's holy and life-giving presence--the place where He will truly satisfy your thirsty soul.

Suffering the loss of her father and grandmother, and dealing with the ending of a relationship left the author tired, bereft, disappointed, emotionally drained, and feeling like God had forgotten her. She wondered what she could do to heal from this holy triumvirate of personal pain. She decided that spirituality would be the context from which she would make her journey back to herself. If she felt like God had forgotten her, then she would look for him everywhere and in the eyes of everyone she met. She made a commitment to visit a different place of worship every week for a year, whether that place of worship reflected her religious tradition or not. In total, she visited sixty-one churches, temples, mosques, synagogues, and gathering places in the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Nigeria and South Africa. My 52 Weeks of Worship is the story of one womans courageous journey. Read and seewill her journey lead her to deep, dark places in her soul or help her find peace and acceptance?
The challenge is on! A challenge between student and teacher has them searching through the Book of Psalms for the praises, promises, and provisions contained within. Little did this teacher know that God had some specific lessons for her to learn during her search. In Praises, Promises, and Provisions, author Kathy O’Brien shares a journey through Psalms and what she discovered. She seeks to answer some of the following questions: Does the psalmist praise God in any way? What is he praising God for? Is there a promise from God shared in the psalm? Is it a promise we can claim, too? Does God provide something for the psalmist? Does God provide food, shelter, help, strength, wisdom, or any other thing for the psalmist? Through a scavenger hunt of sorts, Praise, Promises, and Provisions helps Christians discover the blessings God provided for the psalmist in the Book of Psalms and thus for all those who believe.

Are you a recovering control freak? If you find yourself constantly exercising your “leadership skills,” have the burning desire to always “help” others, and you always seem to know the “right way” to do things, there might be a bigger issue buried beneath these seemingly good qualities: You might be a control freak. In It’s Not My Weed to Pull—Diary of a Control Freak, author Charli Brown shares through humor and garden imagery how God showed her that not every problem was her problem to solve, and that when she tried to hop over into others’ “gardens,” to help, the result usually ended in disaster. In her no nonsense, cut-to-the-chase way, Charli opens up about her own experiences, and guides readers to understand the problem that being a control freak really is, for yourself and for others, and what God has to say about pulling up weeds in someone else’s garden.
