Review
Friend, this is Kim Gentes. The last few days has had me pouring through a new book that is proving to be a great resource for worship leaders, pastors, and worshipers alike. The book is titled "To Know You More" and it is written by Andy Park. The reading is very easy, but the content isn't fluff. So many other books on the topic of worship and worship leading are just more volley's in the ongoing debate of the "worship wars", but Andy Park rises far above those entanglement with "To Know You More".
This book is many things. First, it is the most concise practitioners guidebook ever written on the topic of contemporary worship leading. In contrast to other works by contemporary worship leaders, Park is exceptionally well thought, while still maintaining the perspective and personal experience of an excellent musician and songwriter.
Also, the book is written with some excellent scriptural depth. Andy Park has the unique perspective of having served years as both a worship leader, pastor and senior pastor in various churches (big and small). He speaks candidly about the experiences of each role related to worship. While having a thorough grasp of Biblical unpinnings for his lifes work, he is able to communicate scriptural truth from both reference text and real life. A rare combination to be sure.
But "To Know You More" is as much a story as it is a textbook. Conveying the life one of the most prolific worship writers in out time, this story is one we can all enjoy and learn from. From the endorsements of the all the well-known personalities (M. Redman, B. Doerksen, etc) that speak of the honesty of this book, I can assure you they must have also read the book. I would venture to say that you might even find this book too honest at times, because it will squarely challenge you on your own motivation.
Because Andy Park is so well known, I am sure many of you will be interested in this new book right off. But others may just be hearing for the first time about him. To help you get acquainted with him, we have also published a recent interview with Andy Park right on the website. To see an overview, list of features, and table of contents of the book, check out his book above.
Also, remember to check out the new online interview with Andy Park.
This book should be required reading for all worship leaders and pastors. Really.
Run, don't walk, to get a copy of this great worship resource! This is such a great resource, I am giving it the Editors Choice Award, and it is very deserving.
Blessings in the Father,
Kim Gentes
