Memoirs of an Ordinary Pastor – D.A. Carson

Worship Matters – Bob Kauflin
Bob Kauflin's contagious love for God and musical ability is one of the reasons I've enjoyed Sovereign Grace Music over the years. I'm glad that Bob has taken the time to write a book to guide other worship leaders into bringing God's people into His presence in a way that is consistent with timeless biblical principles. Worship Matters: Leading Others to Encounter the Greatness of God releases on March 31, and is available for pre-order. Here are the blurbs: “Bob loves God, values theology, and cares about people. This mix is found throughout this wonderful and helpful book. Worship … [Read more...] about Worship Matters – Bob Kauflin
