-- All-new, expanded version of the classic book that set the tone for the contemporary worship movement -- The signature book from worship pioneer Jack Hayford, founding pastor of one of the best-known churches in America, The Church On The Way -- Integrity Music will be co-promoting this product along with their music CD of the same title from Jack Hayford. The Father certainly doesn't need our praise, yet He prescribes worship as a daily activity. Why? Because, as pastor Jack Hayford clearly shows us, God graces His people with worship as a gift, not a demand. Worship liberates all of God's people to discover genuine wholeness, but only as they recognize and acknowledge the holiness of God. Hayford examines the lives of more than a dozen biblical figures to illuminate the fulfilling effects of worship -- including seven truths Jesus revealed about the blessings of praise. God's grace fills everything He gives -- and everything He calls us to do. And this same grace overflows in a special and unique way on all of us who humbly and wholeheartedly worship God.

What began 50 years ago, when two high-school English teachers in an Indiana farm community began writing songs to express spiritual insights, has become a volume of church standards sung the world over. Bill and Gloria Gaither's songs have found permanent homes in people's hearts and hymnals, making this couple among the most prolific and popular in Christian music history. Now fans and music lovers can see inside the inspiration and life events that created the songs they sing most, including Because He Lives, There's Something About That Name, and The Family of God. In her trademark elegant prose, Gloria has created a beautiful keepsake for all those who love Christian music and its history.

Worship is a gift. The Father doesn't need our praise. So why does He prescribe worship as a daily activity? God graces His people with worship as a gift. When we enter His presence, worship fulfills our spiritual needs as nothing else can. We recognize and acknowledge God's holiness and are liberated to discover genuine wholeness. In this new revised version of his classic bestseller Worship His Majesty, Pastor Jack shows us the blessings of praise and how God's grace fills everything He gives and calls us to do. When your worship enthrones His majesty, His grace will flood you with spiritual enrichment. Pastor Jack Hayford has written or collaborated on over 100 books and composed over 500 songs, including the internationally acclaimed hymn, "Majesty." He is the founding pastor of The Church On The Way in Van Nuys, California, where he served as the senior pastor for more than three decades. He also served as President of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. Pastor Jack is currently the Chancellor Emeritus of The King's University and an apostolic elder at Gateway Church in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

One of Christianity's most beloved pastors walks readers through the book of Psalms, helping them to live its comfort and promises in the face of life's relentless daily grind. We all have those days--when little problems become crises, when doubt begins to overwhelm belief, when exhaustion hits and happiness escapes. And the book of Psalms offers words of strength and comfort for those troublesome times. In this remarkably down-to-earth study of selections from Psalms, one of Christianity's foremost pastors and authors explores such pressing themes as fear of the unknown, discouragement and worry, how to handle difficult people and what to do when God is silent. Combining his trademark illustrations and insights with favorite passages from this beloved Bible book, Charles Swindoll offers up a work that will help readers live the Psalms as never before. Here is practical inspiration and victorious affirmation to get anyone through life's daily grind. Drawn from previous best-selling works, adapted for the 21st-century reader

Caution: Praising and worshipping God through the Psalms has the power to change lives. In this collection of praise reflections, Jack Hayford encourages us to welcome the King of heaven into our daily lives with the power to change us in the process. Get ready to be blessed as you lift up your heart and voice to worship God. Start with a key verse from the Psalms, learn from Hayford's insights and applications, and then offer a praise prayer. If you long to praise God in a deeper, more intimate way, you need look no further than these short readings intended for use as a personal devotional or for special times with family or others.

If ever a book was written about Leith Fisher's life, it would need numerous chapters to cover his many gifts, interests and life experiences. Leith was a parish minister in the Church of Scotland in Glasgow and Falkirk, a member of the Iona Community, a broadcaster, contributing to BBC's Thought for The Day; he served on presbytery committees, and was Convener of the General Assembly's Panel on Worship. He was a gifted speaker (and also a gifted listener) and his pastoral abilities were legendary. In a tribute to him following his death in 2009 Leith was described as 'one of the ablest ministers of his generation'. For all his activity, Leith was also at his desk, sometimes late into the night, writing poems, articles, reports, life-changing letters, gospel commentaries, prayers - and hymns. Seven of these were included in the fourth edition of the Church Hymnary (2005), and hymns like 'For your generous providing' and 'Christ is our light' are now established in the song of the church.At his death Leith left a number of unpublished songs and hymns, the best of which editor Douglas Galbraith has had the privilege of bringing together here, with Leith's pieces from CH4, in this collection.Like most good hymns, these started life in a local parish or situation, and explore themes not easily found in the standard repertoire. They are set not only to known hymn tunes but to traditional Scottish melodies, including from the Hebridean tradition, which was a much-loved part of the author's musical landscape.It is hoped that these songs will add to the quality and breadth of the praise and prayer of the church.Douglas Galbraith has edited several publications, including Leap, My Soul, hymns from Africa gathered by Tom Colvin; Worship in the Wide Red Land; The Church of Scotland Year Book; the church music magazine Different Voices, and was on the editorial committees of Common Ground and the Church Hymnary (CH4). He is a retired minister of the Church of Scotland and of the Uniting Church in Australia, and is a member of the Iona Community.
