He wrote this book as a guide to help you grow spiritually and to open yourself up to the work of the Holy Spirit in fresh ways in your life.

Complete Contemporary Worship Handbook
$19.95Add to cartBrian Russell has dedicated his life and career to developing and maintaining contemporary worship in denominational settings. He writes from real experience with Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist and Catholic churches with real challenges and, thankfully, real success stories. Beyond Rory Noland’s terrific work called Heart of the Artist, there is a dramatic lack of books that inform the work of creating contemporary worship. The need for such a resource exists, and Brian was inspired to produce this book as a way of addressing that need.
