This is a beginning guitar songbook that contains basic worship songs that are rather to easy to do, for they only require basic chord knowledge such as G, C, D, Em, Am, A, F, and Dm. It contains 12 worship songs: Better Is One Day; Blessed Be Your Name; Breathe; Come, Now Is the Time to Worship; Days of Elijah; Forever; Here I Am to Worship; I Could Sing of Your Love Forever; Lord, Reign in Me; My Redeemer Lives; Open the Eyes of My Heard; You Are My King (Amazing Love). It also comes with a CD that shows you how each song goes. However, the CD consists of other instruments in addition to the guitar, so it may get confusing if you are trying to listen to the strum pattern, but it does give the basic rhythm of the song. The lyrics are included in the book, as well. I have also found that playing the chords shown in the book on the piano or keyboard in addition to the guitar make a nice complement, and this can make the music a little bit more interesting.
This book might be a little too easy for expert guitar players, but it does show the basics of well-known worship songs which makes the music relatively easy to learn.

This is a guitar book for absolute beginners. Strumming only on the words of the Songs (I have never seen such childish things). For example, C, 1-2-3-4; G 1-2-3-4; D 1-2-3-4, etc. No music theory learned whatsoever. I bought it and I am going to return it back to Amazon.
