Artist: Bryan Sirchio

Brian says about this songbook, "Over the years I've been asked a zillion times whether or not I have any music available for "contemporary worship" that would work well in traditional or so-called "mainline Protestant" churches. Many folks shared that while they wanted to bring more modern music into their worship services, they were having a very hard time finding songs in the world of "contemporary praise and worship music" that fit who they were theologically. You know - songs that would focus on making this world a better place, songs that would be inclusive in terms of language and God images, and songs that reflect an awareness of the traditions and "heart language" of mainline Protestant denominations. Well, this is my first attempt at providing a collection of songs in response to these many requests, and I hope and pray that there are at least a few songs in this book which you and your congregation will enjoy singing together."

Spiralbound, with reproducible pages and a CD.

Special note: This book is currently only available in print form. Bryan is working feverishly on a CD which will feature fully produced versions of all the songs in this collection the way he would do them with a praise band in church. Once that CD is available (soon!), then each of the songs will be available on this site. A CD will also be available which will contain the lyrics of all the songs for those of you who like to project lyrics on a larger screen.

As Bryan says, "I myself would probably be reluctant to buy a book of songs unless I'm able to hear what they sound like first and check out the lyrics and theology of the material. So to make this less risky for you... If you buy this book and for any reason it's not what you were hoping it would be, please know that you can return it, get a full refund, and that I will reimburse you for the return postage! Also, if you purchase this first edition of this songbook, you will receive any changes or updates in the next edition at no charge."
