Chris Tomlin and Darren Whitehead, have joined forces together to release a new book titled ‘HOLY ROAR, 7 Words that will Change the Way You Worship.’
In the book, Darren sets out to explain what it means to praise God. He takes us back to thousands of years ago when extraordinary things took place while God’s people worshiped.
“In the ancient world, something extraordinary would happen when God’s people would gather to worship Him
It was more than just singing; it was a declaration, a proclamation, a time to fully embody praise to God for who He is, and what He has done.
In fact, in the Psalms, there are seven Hebrew words that are translated into the English word ‘praise,’ each of which represents a different aspect of what it means to truly praise God.”
Chris Tomlin who is a renowned worship leader and Darren, a Senior Pastor of Nashville’s Church of the City will both release the book which centers on ‘Worship’ on the 10th of October 2017.
The two ministers, gives a clear insight to understanding Praise with the aim of creating a fresh perspective from how those in the ancient times worshiped God.
Pastor Darren shares those insights while Chris Tomlin focuses on how those insights take shape in the stories behind favorite worship songs, including “How Great is Our God,” “We Fall Down” and “Good Good Father.”
“One Sunday morning, Darren shared a message that transformed and deepened my understanding of praise and worship, changing the way I led worship from that day forward.
There was a palpable difference in the congregation’s expression of worship after Darren’s message, and it made the experience all the more overwhelming.
I kept thinking to myself, ‘how have I been a part of writing and leading songs of worship and praise, and I am just now hearing this?’
I am so honored to come alongside and share stories of how some of the songs I’ve been a part of relate with each of these seven words.”
From the 12th of October, Tomlin will launch his Good Good Father Tour, visiting 18 cities across the U.S. while Pastor Darren will share from HOLY ROAR.
