THE WORSHIPPING MUSICIAN PB

A Former professional player, now working as a music therapist, writes with insight from her own experience about the complexities and conflicts of playing as a musician in worship.

'This is a book about musicians worshiping God. In it I have tried to tackle a single issue, which is that real worship is when we glorify God alone, exclusively, and whole heartedly. Becoming a musician is an extraordinary privilege and blessing. Used wisely and selflessly, music is a gift that honours god and helps bring us, and other people, into his presence.Used unwisely or selfishly, it easily becomes an opportunity for us to indulge in pride and self-glorification.'

Reviews

'Fiona Taylor leads the reader into understanding just how good God truly is. As a longtime believer, I still need to hear this, and say it, and sing it too. Challenging, Gospel centered and vulnerable'

- Brant Hansen, radio presenter and author of 'Unoffendable'

'Whatever your position on music in worship within the church you should find Fiona's very readable book a real companion and guide on where we should be heading; both as churches, and individuals'

- Jonathan Veira, opera singer, E.N.O and Covent Garden

'In a consumer age where church music is increasingly dominated by musicians on big platforms with slick production values, this book sounds a timely and vital remider about why we worship and who we worship'

- Mick Sandeman, keyboard player, Phatfish
