Modern Worship Series DVD Reviews
"God Songs" is a ground breaking work for the church. You have quantified what makes great music for people to worship by.  You've taken a subject that is extremely subjective (what makes a good song) and broken it down to very objective measures for all of us to use.  Your book has helped me evaluate new worship music and choose new songs for our congregation. I no longer have to just "trust my gut" and hope I'm right.  I can actually explain why a song does or doesn't stand a good chance of being one our people will worship with and be right most of the time.  I'm not a songwriter, but I am thrilled about the impact this work will have on those in the Body who are.  I anticipate a higher overall quality of worship songs to begin emerging in the next few years due to people taking your principles to heart.

God Songs, is a stellar new book that triumphs in teaching the church how to write its new music liturgy. As I began to read God Songs, I found myself getting lost in the book. I began pulling out old songs I had written, and started eating up each concept, page after page. The density of information in the book is substantial. So much so, that I found myself needing significant breaks to digest the materials. I suppose if I wasn't a worship leader and songwriter myself, I could have just perused over the details of the book. But for those who are involved in local churches or worship ministry, and have creative giftings, especially in songwriting, you will find God Songs is the first real "epic" to be written precisely for the purpose of helping to craft today's new liturgy for the church.

Jimmy and Carol Owens are unquestionably among the primary pioneers that set the fires of worship burning across our planet.

Paul has been a constant source of encouragement to me for over 10 years. His ability to feel things deeply and then shape them critically has given his songs a special place in the church today.

Jimmy and Carol were among the first to step out from tradition and give us courage to dream. They paved the way for many of us.
