I enthusiastically recommend Kenny Lamm's The Worship Ministry Guidebook: Engaging Your Congregation in Transformational Worship. As one of the most prolific and highly respected worship proponents today, Lamm draws from his extensive experience as a worship leader, mentor, teacher, and consultant to offer guidance that is both highly practical and biblically grounded. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned veteran, The Worship Ministry Guidebook will be an invaluable resource to you and your ministry for years to come. Scott Shepherd, Worship & Music Specialist, Tennessee Baptist Mission Board In this timeless resource, Kenny Lamm helps those of us who lead congregational worship to discover principles of why we worship before offering some helpful practices of how we worship. The various practical applications Kenny offers are always based on firm theological foundations involving your congregation as participants instead of spectators. This guidebook can transform your worship if you'll return to it often, especially when you or your congregation gets stuck trying to discern another worship route or reconfirm your current one. David Manner, Executive Director, Church Forward; Author of Better Sundays Begin on Monday The Worship Ministry Guidebook is a phenomenal resource for current worship leaders and a special tool for the training of young worship leaders. I have always been impressed by the work and ministry of Kenny Lamm, but this is gold! I plan to use this for my students! I believe that every worship pastor currently serving in leadership in any church, any style, any size, as well as those who are preparing for ministry, will be challenged and equipped with wisdom that will help each of us succeed in our God-called journey. Larry Grayson, Chair, Department of Worship Studies, Ouachita Baptist University. Every Minister of Music, worship leader, and pastor would benefit greatly from The Worship Ministry Guidebook. Kenny Lamm shares his journey and passion for ministry and gives sound and practical advice for those engaged in worship and music ministry - no matter what style or size of your church or ministry. Timely, engaging, and helpful in every way, this book should be on your desk - not your bookshelf. Dr. Randy C. Lind, Worship & Music Ministry Partner, Oklahoma Baptists As a young worship leader, I followed Kenny's blog posts for inspiration and advice that contributed greatly to my development. Having a comprehensive resource like this is an invaluable tool for any worship leader of any church, regardless of size or style. Kevin Ferstl, Director of Worship & Communication, Church Forward Like a well-trained, sure-handed surgeon, Kenny brilliantly walks through the intricacies of understanding biblical worship and the role of the worship leader. From styles of worship to introducing new songs, no stone is left unturned. Matt Freeman, Director of Worship and Music, South Carolina Baptist Convention Practical, Practical, Practical. Kenny Lamm has spent a lifetime training worship leaders, and now he has put into words what has made him so successful in doing so.
