Welcome

A Worship

Handbook

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 the reader into greater  depths of freedom and intimacy, and better equip those who lead  others in worship as they respond to God’s call and invitation to  worship Him in Spirit and in truth.   Martin Jones “Martin, in his new book “Called to Worship” gets out of the way  and makes much of Jesus. It can be read in an afternoon, but it  takes thousands of afternoons to distill such lessons. Spiritual  truths underpin this practical guide - as useful for worship teams  and worship leaders as for worshippers. Thank you Martin for the book; it's a little gem."
