Called to Worship: A practical guide for those involved in leading worship - Softcover

It is both an honour and a privilege to be called to lead others in worship of God but so often this call is accompanied by feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and even fear. This handbook deals honestly with these issues and reflects on some Biblical characters who had similar reservations when they received God’s call to service.It’s a book for worshippers and for those who lead worship. It seeks to offer some practical advice and guidance to both worship leaders and worship teams to help and encourage in areas such as: planning and leading the worship time; facilitating Spirit-led worship that flows; recognising hindrances to worshipping freely; knowing what, when and if you should speak during the worship time; leading worship in small groups; rehearsals. Above all I hope that it will help release you into greater depths of freedom and intimacy, and better equip those of you who lead others in worship as you respond to God’s call and invitation to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

Martin worked for several years as a professional singer and musician before becoming a Christian, whereupon God harnessed his natural talents for the encouragement and enabling of the Church in worship. He has wide experience of leading worship, both in small groups and larger gatherings, and is acknowledged as an anointed worship leader, sensitive to the Holy Spirit and bringing a strong sense of the presence of God.
