DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat happens when a young woman promises God everything and he takes it? With an unquenchable passion to glorify her Savior at nineteen years old, Bethany McClurg was on the cusp of following her dreams into a life of music and ministry. Suddenly diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia just two weeks after resolutely committing to follow God wherever he would lead, she was thrown into a journey that would draw her farther from her own dreams and closer to her God than she ever could have imagined. In this honest and inspiring account of her battle with a life-threatening disease and its ensuing complications, Bethany stands bravely behind the shield of faith to confront the far more wearisome battles of unbridled fear, despair, and discouragement. The cornerstone of her very existence is altered as the cross becomes her beacon and strength, taking the place of broken dreams and shattered trust. Then like a songbird on wings of grace, she emerges from the valley of the shadow of death, beckoning others to choose to sing of his love once again and forever.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSing! 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.
