TITLE: A SONG SHALL RISE AUTHOR: Shuvai Wutawunashe ISBN - 10: 0797429905 ISBN - 13: 9780797429901 Publisher: Shelter Media Ministries (Self) CHAPTERS: 14 PAGES: 373 DESCRIPTION: CHRISTIANITY, PRAISE OF GOD, PUBLIC WORSHIP, MUSIC IN CHURCHES, EVANGELISM - a comprehensive guide to powerful song and Worship in the Christian Church ABOUT THE BOOK: A SONG SHALL RISE, written by one of Zimbabwe’s leading Christian music singers and worshippers, Shuvai Wutawunashe, is an inspired work on Music, Praise and Worship, one of a very few such books on the world’s bookshelves. The book, hailed nationally and in several countries, is an eye-opener into the nature, power and beauty of song when used in worship and praise in a manner that is acceptable and pleasing to God. It vividly and methodically highlights worship as God’s chosen way of relating with people, and music and praise as necessary vehicles in maintaining and growing that relationship. It challenges the age-old notion of Christian music as just a noble hobby and preoccupation, some clean entertainment at shows and concerts or the church’s Sunday morning routine engagement. Song and worship are portrayed as a unique, God-ordained and Christ-equipped force which, in the right hands, moves and shakes the world to accomplish God’s purposes in the earth – delivering from evil, giving life, building people, families and nations, and bringing unbelievers into fellowship with Christ. The subject matter is deeply researched and abundantly supported by Scriptures. It is placed in a historical perspective from which readers are taken on a fascinating journey through the centuries to the present day church, with the spotlight always on the centrality of praise and worship as the medium through which the Church is transformed and renewed. The author’s experiences as a practitioner in the song, praise and worship ministry are used appealingly in a way that illustrates the points she makes. The book is tightly packed with “constantly-looked-for” information laid out in a pleasant and user-friendly format that readers say is eminently readable. A SONG SHALL RISE is a gold mine of “how-to” information that will appeal to Christian music practitioners and teachers, pastors, worship leaders and teams, laymen and congregations at all levels. It is a clearly laid out manual and comprehensive guide that offers practical steps to follow in building effective music ministries. Practitioners learn to put together songs that please God and are relevant in people’s lives, and to set Godly goals for their music to achieve desired results. Singers discover how, through their ministries, they can move God and have influence with men. Worshippers learn how to cooperate with God to make music, praise and worship a powerful tool in cultivating intimacy with Him and doing His work. Churchgoers find out how to beat those lifeless and uneventful church services. A SONG SHALL RISE is a must-read book and a good companion for all who consider themselves stakeholders in all things Gospel.
