It is both an honour and a privilege to be called to lead others in worship of God but so often this call is accompanied by feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and even fear. This handbook deals honestly with these issues and reflects on some Biblical characters who had similar reservations when they received God's call to service.It's a book for worshippers and for those who lead worship. It seeks to offer some practical advice and guidance to both worship leaders and worship teams to help and encourage in areas such as: planning and leading the worship time; facilitating Spirit-led worship that flows; recognising hindrances to worshipping freely; knowing what, when and if you should speak during the worship time; leading worship in small groups; rehearsals. Above all I hope that it will help release you into greater depths of freedom and intimacy, and better equip those of you who lead others in worship as you respond to God's call and invitation to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
