From the Back Cover
Whether you serve as a vocalist, instrumentalist, technician, dancer, actor, or in some other role, you know what a blessing it is to serve on your church’s worship team. But you also know that some days you’re more technically prepared than you are spiritually prepared for the ministry of leading others in worship. In the midst of rehearsals, setup, and myriad distractions, not to mention the busyness of daily life, it’s easy to miss the forest for the trees. How can you and your fellow team members be prepared to worship in spirit and truth as well as lead others in worship with integrity?

With thirty years of experience in worship leading, Rory Noland knows the issues—in both the private life of the worship team member and the public ministry of a worship team. In this readable book, he offers practical insights on how to
• Grow as a private worshiper
• Encounter the character of God during worship
• Respond to the character of God during worship
• Be transformed by the character of God
• Learn from ancient worship leaders
… and more.

So relevant you’ll think the author was eavesdropping on your last church service, The Worshiping Artist is ideal to read either by yourself or as a team.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for worship teams!, March 21, 2008

By	Dewayne A. Moore (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed reading The Worshiping Artist. His clear and Biblical explanations about worship and praise are clear and compelling. The emphasis on specific expressions to praise were refreshing to read, since few books on worship address those properly (if at all). Especially helpful and insightful were his three questions and chapters: Who is God, Who am I and What is God inviting me to do? Wonderfully typical in his writings, Noland begins with a modern-day, easy-to-relate-to story, then lists several group questions, followed by the explanatory material, which makes up the bulk of each chapter. I didn't quite get what the author was trying to communicate in the last chapter on icons. However, there is plenty of quality material in the first nine chapters to offset any uncertainties in the last one! I highly recommend this book to worship teams and lead worshipers!
