Everything you need to enhance worship from and for the emerging churchIf the church is to remain faithful and relevant in the third millennium it must be in tune with alternative worship, a refreshing blend of first-century faith with twenty-first century technology and language. With one hand in the past and one in the future, Alternative Worship delivers an original collection of resources for receptive churches in the mainstream or those on the progressive edge. Arranged around major festivals of the church year-Advent and Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost-its unique liturgies and prayers, innovative yet meaningful rituals, and informative and challenging views of the alternative worship scene make this book the most comprehensive postmodern worship resource available. The accompanying interactive CD-ROM offers easy access to ambient sounds, stimulating visuals, and modern music to enrich your alternative worship experience."As Alternative Worship's postmodern liturgies express so lucidly, worship celebrates the Unparalleled Who of the Grand Story. We can affirm to God and to each other who we really are: a wildly gifted and profoundly flawed people in the marvelous, mystical process of redemption. Thank you, Jonny Baker, Jenny Brown, and Doug Gay, for sounding this divine call and sounding it faithfully. May we too respond in faithfulness."-Sally Morgenthaler, founder, Sacramentis.comBaker, Jonny is the author of 'Alternative Worship Resources from and for the Emerging Church' with ISBN 9780801091704 and ISBN 0801091705.
