I am a huge fan of Paul Baloche. You can almost say that I seek to be just like him. His heart for worship is unparalleled and his song writing is fantastic. So when I found out he had a book available with Jimmy and Carol Owens (pioneers of Christian music and writers of antshillvania) I had to buy it.

What I got was a manual for not just worship writing but for songwwriting in general. It is full of information to help take a writers songs to a whole new level and goes through every process involved. From prayer and personal worship to thoughts, ideas and inspiration to words, rhyme, and structure to music, theory, and creativity.

I was blown away by how much they cover in this book and it has taught me to think differently about my songwriting.

This is a must read for any body in worship or writing worship.

    I attended a workshop with Paul Baroche @ Church on the Way in LA. I’m a Canadian too so his songs hit the spot. Check out some of my “God Songs” on my blog.
    Mostly – he says – he writes from the psalms, with his guitar in hand, thinking about the words and playing around with them untill the song begins to form.
