Comment on Would you buy this book? by Adam

I’ve always found you to be an inspiration to me and my ministry. Your heart for the gospel, for youth and for families and the fact you are still passionate about all these things years into your prime encourages me. Thanks!

I would make one suggestion…I don’t really like subtitle. I’m not sure how important that that is. I think most people in youth ministry realize where we’ve been (good and bad).

I can’t wait to read it.

Thanks again!

How about Re-reinventing Youth Ministry (again)? The picture will appeal to old timers but I’m not sure about the guys (and girls) doing it now. Glad to know you are still at it.

1. I would buy it based on the title and author alone.

2. I like the subtitle but I’d tweak it to “From Flash and Bells to Flesh and Blood” but that’s just the way I think.

3. Looking forward to it. Great Cover.

Wayne, what a treat to see the three of you play together, and with your starring grandson! I haven’t seen Jim or Joe in so long…it would have been Hume Lake, at least 8 years ago, I’m thinking. You just never know what you will find on the web! By the way, Jesse gave me his old mp3 player and I was wondering what was on it…what a blessing. All of a sudden, after several celtic and piano instrumentals, comes Jims voice and Joes mandolin - whew. That just gets things cookin. And this mp3 player even predates knowing you! When I went in to say goodnight he was listening to “Well if you say you’re a Christian, or something like that…
Blessings,
Faye O

Comment on A Conversation with Henri Nouwen by Wayne

Thanks for pointing this out to me. Apparently the mp3 audio player I chose doesn’t work for Internet Explorer like it does in Firefox.
Try again now. I’ve added links to the audio which should work for you. Just click on the links for each segment and you should be able to listen to them with the audio player you have on your computer.
Let me know if you still have problems accessing these audio clips. Hope you enjoy hearing Henri answer these questions. He was very generous with his time and very patient with me.

Dear Wayne,

Many thanks for sending us the link to your interview with Henri. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it to play. Can you help?

Blessings,

Comment on Maybe the Church of Christ Has It Right by Russell Cederberg

In the Hebrew language (Old Testament) there are over 50 words that are related to worship and praise and many of them have nothing to do with music. One of my favorite is “zamar” which means literally, to strike the stings with the fingers. As a guitar picker I was happy to discover that one! I also love “tehillah”, to praise in an unrehearsed manner. There are also 4 or 5 different ways to shout in Hebrew. There is also “shiyr”, to sing a hymn or Psalm and “yadah”, to extend your hands (or throw a stone!).
Churches in the west have gotten used to being entertained by either the “praise band” with smoke and bright lights and huge screens or the choir with pontifical robes and a sombre organ and there is often very little real involvement in the congregation.
In reality, there is no congregation - we are all the worship team and there is only one in the audience,Abba Father, but so few places really understand this and develop this. I went to CABC for 25 years and sang under Pastor Robert Dow who did a spectacular job of developing both singers and participants. I am also reminded of Ray Hughes who very successfully leads almost anyone into the presence of God in worship using - bluegrass!
