BOOK: Mentoring Worship Leaders (Kraeuter+others)
EVENT: Night of Worship/House Party in Hawaii!!

blessings,
Kim Gentes

...Last year, a friend of mine, Tom Kraeuter (author of 20+ books on worship) asked me if I would contribute to a book he was writing on mentoring worship leaders. Tom knew that for a book to be a true resource across churches and denominations it needed to have a broad perspective. He asked 10 worship leaders, mentors and teachers to contribute their best thoughts and ideas to a comprehensive book that would help other leaders have some helpful guides as they begin mentoring or the process of being mentored in their local churches and ministries.

The result of this collaboration is "Mentoring Worship Leaders", the book you see here. I am not only pleased with the book as a whole but have added more great insights to my own tool chest by reading the contributions of others such as Monte Kelso, Kent Henry, Karen Lafferty, and others. There are very few books that even attempt to cover the topic of worship leadership mentoring, and even fewer that provide more than just a single perspective. If you are considering mentoring others or are looking for mentoring guidance yourself, I honestly believe the book can open up some insights and possibilities to you in doing this. Watch the video below to get a brief overview of the book from Tom.

If you are a worship leader mentoring others, or a person looking for tools for your own mentoring journey, I highly recommend this book, not just because I contributed to it, but because it is an excellent resource. (read more here...)

The primary narrative of the Christian and Jewish faiths is archived in the pages of the bible. While the bible includes 66 separate books, it remains a compelling, powerful storyline. The narrative arc speaks of God's work of creation and humanity, the subsequent failure of humans in the garden, God's project of redemption manifesting through His relationship with an individual (Abraham), a tribe (Hebrews), a nation (Israel), a king (David), prophets, and eventually a Savior (Jesus), in which YHWH (the Lord) sent His Son to plant the promise of His redemption into the heart of the human world and declare His love for all creation. Upon the fruition of that redemption (in the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus) the Holy Spirit was released to build a new people, the Church, who would

bring the promise (in word and deed) of the redemptive Jesus to the rest of the world...

...If you haven't yet taken the opportunity to attempt to read through the entire narrative of the Biblical story in a short time, perhaps this short collection of verses can inspire you to begin to drink in the narrative anchoring the subplots of the scriptural books. Creation appears. Humanity falls. God is on the move with redemption. YHWH, the Ancient One who appeared to Moses, has continued His work. Jesus has come. The Holy Spirit is released. And now you are at the precipice of the next chapter of God's story. I hope and pray that this collection of quotes from the Bible whets your appetite to this story of God. One verse per book.
