DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat church service would be complete without music? And yet, many of us believe our music directors, choir members, and musicians perform simply to entertain us and bring balance to the service. In truth, their responsibility and privilege lies on a much higher level. They are each ministers who have been called to prepare the hearts of the congregants for the planting of the Word of God. "When They Began To Sing" focuses first on the commitment of spirit, mind, and body. Before the first note is ever formed, the intent of the heart must be examined. The tools found within the pages of this book are critical for building any music minister and their ministry.

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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe admonition of Paul to be "teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs" (Colossians 3:16) seems straightforward. But do we really do that? Or is our song service just catchy tunes with words attached, or trite repetitions of old standards that have long since lost their meaning for us, or meaningless mutterings that just fill the gaps in our worship? With One Heart, With One Voice will bring you back to the basics of spiritual singing. You will be introduced to some new songs, and re-introduced to some older ones. You will learn a bit about hymn writers -- their stories, their backgrounds, their motivations. You will receive some basic instruction regarding what music means and how to sing it better. Most of all, though, you will come to appreciate more how the words and the music in our hymns combine to communicate God's word and help it stick in the minds and hearts of believers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf we were made for relationship with God, why do we often feel lost and distant from Him? The life of Christian faith is and always has been a beautifully awkward reality. Following Jesus is done—can only be done—in the messiness of this world into which we were all born. Yet many Christians expect the walk of faith to be easier, neater, and relatively devoid of hassles. So perhaps it’s time for a frank conversation about the true nature of Christian faith. Maybe there are many desperately in need of a clear dialogue about how—despite living in a turbulent, chaotic world—our greatest joy is found in our pursuit of God. In The Grand Paradox, Ken Wytsma seeks to help readers understand that although God can be mysterious, He is in no way absent. God’s ways are contradictory and counter to the way the world tells us to pursue happiness. Doubt is okay, it will accompany in the life of faith. What looks like struggle can actually be the most important and meaningful season of our lives. This book is an exploration of the art of living by faith. It is a book for all those wrestling with the paradoxes that confront those who seek to walk with Christ. It’s an honest look at how faith works, here and now, in our culture, our time—and how to put down real roots and flourish in the midst of our messy lives.
