Product Description
Praise is something we are, not something we do. This book reflects on psalms from The Message//Remix and explains how to develop a habit of praise in your everyday life. Learn a new way of thinking about praise––focusing on it as a lifestyle, not an event.


From the Back Cover
Be glad, good people! Fly to GOD! Good-hearted people, make praise your habit. Psalm 64:10 Praise is something we are, not something we do. So if you’ve always thought that praise consists only of singing a couple mediocre songs on Sunday morning, you’ve missed the point. In his first book, popular musician David Crowder introduces you to a new way of thinking about praise––focusing on it as a lifestyle, not an event. David reflects on psalms from The Message//Remix and explains how to develop a habit of praise in your everyday life. A praise habit is not just possible; it’s the very reason we were created. Live in constant awe of God and watch what He does next. "Here is a book about a guy who wants to give something back to God and is interested in helping you and me do the same. He might have accidentally stumbled upon the meaning of life. Dave Crowder is a good writer, and he dares to tell us the truth about himself and his calling. This one is worth reading." -Donald Miller, author, Blue Like Jazz

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book to get more out of David Crowder Band music , February 23, 2005
By Joseph P. Bowling (Dalecity, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the nice things i got from reading this book is understanding why David is as he is...i personally think he is a wonderful example of being in love with GOD <caps lock> as a follower of Jesus Christ.

By reading this book you will understand his lyrics better and be able to put context around them. You will be able to pick up the lines of thought behind the words being sung. This is especially true of their current album "Illuminate". I really liked the album before but now i get much more from it...it has made my "worship" experience a little more "deeper".

This book David shares some insights of his life with various Psalms and uses them to help get illustrate what the purpose of the "praise habit" is.

If David writes another book I hope he discloses more on his personal life, music, and "the hair" :)

I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys David Crowder Band music as well as people who are trying to get more of a handle on seeing God in their moment to moment life.

I had recently read a book on Missions called "Let the nations be glad" if possible read that last chapter of that book (15 pages) becuase it states in clear terms exactly what David expresses and illustrates by giving everyday life examples all through out this book. Namely that GOD (caps lock) is supreme and worthy to praise in all things in all ways (hope that makes sense).

*Disclaimer this book is not on Christian Doctrine nor does David talk much on it. It is about is passionate, praising love for GOD <caps lock>

5.0 out of 5 stars Behold Nunzilla!, June 23, 2005
Never before have I read a book from cover to cover like this one. No, really, you can't even afford to skip the copyright page on this one!

This is a great book for all of those growing spiritually in a great fellowship of believers who are "real" about their faith but can't find any Christian literature that doesn't reek of plastic spirituality. Unlike the popular Christian bestsellers, such as "The Purpose Driven [mid] Life [crisis]", this book skips all of the fluffy over-done church-speak. Also, Crowder doesn't repeat and pummel the same points over and over again like we're two. This is a book about real people doing real life in the presence of a real God. Crowder doesn't even attempt to make blanket statements about reality or Christianity. He simply shares his struggles and insights in a genuine non-preachy style.

David Crowder's Dave-Barry-meets-David-the-Psalmist style makes this book an actual enjoyable read. Honestly, I make it about half way through most devotional and inspirational books because frankly, they're just too stinking melodramatic. I know that most of these scholars have good insights to share, but after awhile, I just can't take the touchy-feely-ness of it all. I put the book down and never finish it. If you want to grow in your walk with Christ or are just looking for new insights and can't finish most Christian Literature, then this book is for you. I'd also suggest grabbing a copy of "The Message Remix" while you're at it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is entertaining, hysterically funny and profound, March 14, 2005
I recently finished reading it (and I'm an avid reader) and was constantly finding myself struggling between audible laughter and being inspired to a deeper appreciation and gratitude, a fresh savouring of the sweetness of this Savior-God. To be reminded of how much God loves me and desires my rescue to not be a stagnate finality; but an ongoing lifestyle.
David is an excellent writer. It's definitely a rare find, not just refreshing and funny; but also profound and inspiring.
I highly recommend this book!!
