Joining in Glad Adoration, Vol. 2: Hymn Introductions and Accompaniments<\/a><\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

David Sims writes a welcomed second volume in his series of introductions and harmonizations. Each setting includes a clear introduction that beautifully sets the tone of the hymn and one or two alternate harmonizations that support singing while creatively uplifting the text. Twenty-five tunes are included with several from All Creation Sings<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Pray, Praise, and Give Thanks: Litanies, Laments, and Thanksgivings at Font and Table<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This collection of prayers for use in worship from Gail Ramshaw contains three litanies, a template for constructing prayers of intercession, prayers of lament for evils that afflict us and our world, prayers to be offered at baptisms and baptismal remembrances (thanksgivings at the font), and eucharistic prayers (thanksgivings at the table). Pastors, worship planners, and scholars will all find this volume invaluable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Central Things: Worship in Word and Sacrament<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gordon Lathrop identifies the central things of Christian worship as these: an open and participating community gathered in song and prayer around the scriptures read and preached, the baptismal washing enacted or remembered, the holy supper, and the sending to a needy world. These things may be done in diverse ways, in diverse cultural situations, responding to diverse times, but they nonetheless unite Christians throughout the world. Taken seriously, they may shape the spirit and the details of our worship. By them, the divine continually brings people into faith, hope, and love.<\/p>\n

\n

Baptized, We Live: Lutheranism As a Way of Life<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Explore Daniel Erlander’s unique vision of the Lutheran faith as a way of teaching, worshiping, and living. This rich, compelling book has guided generations interested in enriching their faith in a meaningful way. Covers topics like history, liturgy, the eucharist, saying yes and no, and more. In this updated edition, an array of skin tones are shown, worship resources now reference Evangelical Lutheran Worship<\/em> rather than Lutheran Book of Worship<\/em>, and language is now even more inclusive and expansive. The accompanying Leader Sourcebook provides curriculum resources to use this as a teaching tool for youth and adults.<\/p>\n
