Spiritual relational professional and practical issues relevant for individuals and groups in worship ministry of any kind are addressed head on.Historically bands have helped lead revolutions crusades campaigns churches rallies and entire nations. The role bands play in worship though important is not the pinnacle of the calling or mandate according to Jesus. While it's okay tohave a good rock band and want to go places many creatively gifted Christians miss the mark entirely and are derailed by their own quests for something other than God. Likewise worship teams sometimes miss the mark by placingtoo much emphasis on performance and not enough on relationships. This book will help lay the foundation for a healthier pursuit of creative dreams and a closer walk with God.
