Leading Worship for Workers: How to Design Liturgies for All of Life

"A valuable resource for every worship leader" People spend approximately one third of their lives at work. But when they are gathered for corporate worship, services rarely acknowledge or mention their working lives. This book offers church leaders an array of creative ideas and practical methods to help them craft worship services that speak directly to workers and the realities they face throughout the week. "A book with transformative potential for worship ministries." -- John D. Witvliet , Belmont University; senior consultant, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship "A valuable resource for every worship leader who seeks to help extend worship beyond the walls of the church." -- Matt Rusten , president, Made to Flourish " Leading Worship for Workers is practical. It is theological. And when practiced, it is transformational." -- Nelson Cowan , Center for Worship and the Arts, Samford University "This is a handbook filled with biblically grounded, practical examples and exercises that help address the persisting bifurcation between the sacred and the secular." -- Constance M. Cherry , Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies; Indiana Wesleyan University (emeritus) "The insights and suggestions in Leading Worship for Workers are wonderfully grounded in the realities of local church life." -- Kelsey Kramer McGinnis , worship correspondent, Christianity Today "A much-needed resource for helping the church reclaim a robust theology of work in its weekly liturgies." -- Jordan Raynor , bestselling author of The Sacredness of Secular Work
