A Thousand Amens (song and CD)
Here is a link to the site where you can purchase this CD... hard copy or digital download, find chord charts for each song, read the story behind the album and much more.
I was introduced to this church as I began reading their worship leader's blog. It has proven to be one of the more useful resources for worship leading that I continually use. Thoughtful, thorough, Spirit led, practical, practical, practical... are just a few words that come to my mind when I am trying to describe his blog. Jamie Brown's blog can be found here... click here,
And you can find 3 of the songs on his blog as free downloads. Check it out.

Leading in worship when not "leading worship"
Kristen Gilles reminds us that we are still leading in worship even when we are not "leading worship".
3 Quick Ways To Improve Your Communication, Writing or Worship Leading
Bobby Gilles shares 3 Quick Ways To Improve Your Communication, Writing or Worship Leading
1. Pray. This should be foundational to everything we do. Ask for God’s help and His blessing. If you’re a Christian, then the Holy Spirit is actually living inside of you. You couldn’t possibly have a better guide.
2. Learn from writers and communicators who are more gifted, more productive and more experienced than you are. Listen. Be a student. Always.
3. Mentor and advise those who are not yet operating at your level of skill or experience. Teach and inspire those who are not as productive as they should be. Encourage questions. This will sharpen your own skill and cause you to continuously think about why you do what you do.
