Total Praise: Songs and Other Worship Resources for Every GenerationHardcover, 1 April 2012

More than just a book of hymns, this work, published in collaboration with the Sunday School Publishing Board, is an essential reference for lovers of African American devotional music. Ideal for pastors, choir directors, or members of the clergy or congregation, this landmark publication brings together beloved hymns, spirituals, and gospel tunes with new songs of praise. The traditional and contemporary songs as well as the responsive readings--one for every Sunday of the year--address themes that include healing, the poor, forgiveness, peace, and praise, and litanies designed for special days throughout the year, such as church anniversaries, Advent, mothers, funerals, and singles ministry. Special features such as the Church Covenant, Articles of Faith, and extensive indexes on a range of topics are also included.
