Does our worship mean anything? What is the ultimate purpose of our songs?The songs we sing in church or listen to were never meant to be a substitute for our worship; they were meant to enhance it. It's time to regain our voices; it's time to push through the outer court and reclaim the high places-the altars-where true worship happens.Jesus longs to fulfill the lyrics of the songs we sing. But how do we move from words to action-to true experience? How does worship ripple through our communities, touching those who stand outside our realms, unacquainted with the resonance of conferences, concerts, and church services? When and how will they feel the presence of Jesus, the Healer, the Deliverer, the Transformer?In the coming days, weeks, months, and years, the church may look different. Churches today are afforded the freedom and luxury of grand stages, but tomorrow we may traverse from grand stages to hidden home sanctuaries. Yet, one truth remains unwavering: our sacred obligation to worship, no matter the backdrop.Whether you are a worship pastor, worship leader, or worshipper, this book was designed to kindle the flames of intimate worship moments for all Christians, no matter their position, talent or skill set. It beckons you to reflect on the gravity carried by the role we call "worship leader." As you journey through these pages, you will not only be enlightened, but also inspired to venture deeper into the sacred realm of worship.

twist is a book of photography and the poetry it inspired. It is the second book from Antoinette LeCouteur and Peter Dudley, following up their inspiring release of together in 2023.Antoinette sees the world in ways many people do not, and she captures that view through photographs she takes with her phone. It may be a drop of dew glistening on a blade of grass in a friend's lawn, or a hummingbird as it alights on a branch against a desert sky. For this book, she carefully and lovingly selected one picture from each week of 2023, and Peter used that picture as a prompt for an original poem.Peter's poetry tends toward themes of longing, humor, loss, and impermanence. He coaxes out the essence of each of Antoinette's photos, focusing less on the objects and more on the feelings they invoke. Each poem tells an intriguing story that invites the reader to think deeply and find new layers of meaning upon each reading.Each photo and each poem stands as a piece of art on its own. Together, each weekly ekphrastic pairing creates a third piece of art that further enriches the reader's experience.Although the format of this book is similar to the format of together, the couple threw in a few twists. Peter provides a photograph in one week to inspire a poem by Antoinette, and another week Antoinette had to select a photo to go with the poem Peter wrote. The title, twist, also reflects the kind of year the couple had.
The Final War of a Great Empire"The official history of the Habsburg empire in the First World War ought to enjoy a better reputation than it does." - Sir Hew StrachanIn August 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in response to the assassination of their heir to the throne, declared war against Serbia. Their army was multi-national and multi-lingual. Backed by Germany and opposed by an alliance between Russia, France, and Great Britain, the conflict would plunge the entire world into five years of brutal warfare.Started just after the Great War ended and completed only one year before the start of the Second World War, this is a comprehensive history of the final conflict of an empire that only half a century prior had been among the most powerful in Europe. With Russia never completing an official history of the Great War, and Italy, Romania, and Serbia's official histories unavailable in English, this is an invaluable and essential resource for any student of the Eastern and Italian Fronts of the First World War.This volume covers the end of 1914 to August 1915, in which Austria continued fighting in the Carpathians, with German help won a massive victory at Gorlice-Harnow, and found itself at war with Italy in the most difficult battlefield imaginable.

This one might just take believing in miracles.
Elsewhere: An Elegy meditates on the complexities of loss, on how private and everlasting the weight of grief is, how impossible it can feel to find stillness when memory and music continue to pull one back into heartache. Moving between short fragmented "answers" to the same lingering question, deconstructed haibun dedicated to ghosts and cowards, and dream sequences that ask what it means to lose one's father while one is first learning how to become a father, the speaker in Elsewhere: An Elegy cannot but help see himself as his own father, and his infant son as his own young self still held by innocence and wholeness. The speaker, with a slowly gathering sense of compassion admits, "I've still not divined / how to unhusk this steadfast / grief from my poems." Ultimately, he comes to recognize that the most healing way to grieve is to give, is to translate loss into generosity, pain into poetry.
