Worship Essentials Growing a Healthy Worship Ministry Without Starting a War!

Everybody talks about the worship, but nobody does anything about it.

The well-known quote associated with Mark Twain actually goes like this—Everybody talks
about the weather ... But changing it to "worship" seems appropriate. With Worship Essentials,
Dove Award-winning worship leader Mike Harland helps leaders do something about it.

Perhaps no subject about church generates more opinion and passion than worship. Walk with
the typical church-going family on their way to the car after the service and just listen.
Everybody really does talk about worship. Now, veteran worship leader and experienced
ministry coach Mike Harland offers the tools worship leaders need to build biblically-faithful
and effective worship ministries without bringing the disruption that often accompanies change.

Psalm 67:5 reads, "Let the peoples praise you, God, let all the peoples praise you." Worship
Essentials is here to help.
