choice for post-Christmas services and the season of Epiphany.

The Modern Worship Singer’s
Complete Guide to Developing
Technique, Style, and Expression
Tim Carson
Worship Musician! Series
Author Tim Carson has been traveling the
country, helping singers of all types learn
to present themselves and their music in a

He helps people understand their voice as an instrument, like any
other, and that singing is truly a learnable skill. The techniques
in this book draw on four-hundred years of classical, foundational
vocal instruction and yet they are fresh. Tim presents them in a way
that is different from any other method available today, particularly
as it pertains to the contemporary worship singer, leader, songwriter,
or performer. The information is presented in a way that is easy to
follow, and it works!

PHOTOGRAPHY IN WORSHIP
The Art and Science of
Iconic Imagery
Mike Overlin
Worship Musician Series
The ability to take a photograph – to stop a
moment in time – is a very powerful act in
and of itself. When this skill is used in the
creation of imagery in support of worship,
or even as an act of worship, it can be truly
breathtaking. A great photograph can make a point or elicit an
emotion in ways nothing else can, but what makes a truly great
photograph? It’s not the camera! Ansel Adams said, “The single
most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind
it.” In other words...you. Cameras and technology have made
incredible advances through the years, but the basic elements of
photography haven’t changed for over a century. Great cameras do
not make great photographers any more than great guitars make
great guitarists. You have to learn how to “play”!
This book will teach you the basics of photography through simple
explanations and practical examples, and more important, how
to “see” the image in advance, with special emphasis on creating
imagery for use in worship.
