A "Must-Have" for Worship Leaders,
By Robb Redman (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Worship Leader, The (Paperback)
While there's plenty of books on worship, few fall into the "must-have" category for worship leaders. The Complete Worship Leader is one of them. If you only read one book on worship this year, this is it. Author Kevin Navarro is now Senior Pastor of Bethany Evangelical Free Church in Littleton, CO, having served there for several years as the worship leader.The "worship leader" is a relatively new category of leadership in worship. The roles of pastor, liturgist, organist, choir director and song leader are familiar, but the worship leader is a product of the worship awakening of the past 30 years. In the most in-depth study of the subject to date, Navarro gives us a glimpse at the opportunities and challenges of a worship leader. A "complete" worship leader excels in several ways, not just in one area. Gone are the days when worship leaders could carry the ministry by their musicianship alone. In this well-written book, Navarro artfully weaves together the four main strands of effective worship ministry leadership: theology, discipleship, artistry and leadership. It's easy to see how neglecting any one of these will lead to problems; Navarro shows how we can grow in all of them and keep our balance. Navarro brings a worship leader's perspective to these issues, and he writes as a worship leader to his peers. He's been there and done that, and offers nuggets of important insight in each of the four areas, as well as specific applications worship leaders will appreciate. The Complete Worship Leader is an important book for pastors, worship committee and personnel committee members as well. It's a window into the world of worship leaders that reveals the unique challenges they face, and suggests helpful ways the rest of us can encourage them.

A MUST Read for Worship Leaders,
By
This review is from: Complete Worship Leader, The (Paperback)
This book truly is "complete" is discussing what it means to be a worshipper as well as a worship leader. The thoroughness of thought and subject matter, the logical progression from fundementals of faith to form and expression, and the readability of this book make it an absolute MUST for anyone desiring to grow in their understanding and expression of worship. I have loaned my copy out several times only to have it returned with the comment "I have to buy my own!"

The title says it all!,
By Michael A. Smith (Lakewood, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Worship Leader, The (Paperback)
As a professional worship director, a seminary student and a student of worship, I have read any number of books on the topic of worship. Kevin Navarro's book ranks, without question, as one of the best."Complete" is the right word to use in reference to this book. Kevin manages to squeeze a wealth of information into a relatively short, easy and engaging read. The chapters on musical direction alone can be used as a handy reference book, invaluable to have available in a church staff office. The sections on theology, discipleship and leadership are equally spot-on; Kevin readily points out the elements which are truly needed in today's church environment. Best of all, Kevin's heart for worship is evident throughout. I would highly recommend this book, not just to professional worship directors, but to anyone who accepts the challenge of leading a congregation into the presence of the living God.
