THE WORSHIP SERIES
WORSHIPPING GOD ON THE ROAD MARKED WITH SUFFERING
Worship is always a choice. come rain or shine, come hardship or ease, come confusion or clarity, the choice to worship God is a costly act of devotion. In the life of every worshipper there will come times when worship meets with suffering and the sovereignty of God.
In Blessed Be Your Name, Matt and Beth Redman use the words of their inspiring song to explore how to stand in the place of praise even in the face of hardship and pain. Focusing on the Psalms, many of which were written out of struggle, the Redmans share from their own experience and show how painful circumstances and our choices can either propel us toward God or away from Him, build up our faith or break it. Learn how to ride out storms of life with a cry of "blessed be Your name" on your lips.
"This book is so timely and needed in the Church today. In Blessed Be Your Name, Matt and Beth encourage us that in all things and at all times, God is worthy of our praise."
-CHRIS TOMLIN, Worship Leader and Songwriter, Author of The Way I Was Made
"Matt and Beth's powerful anthem Blessed Be Your Name is a gift to the Church; it has given us faith-filled words to declare when life seems to have crumbled around us. What a compassionate and mighty God we serve!"
-DARLENE ZSCHECH, Songwriter and Worship Leader, Hillsong Church, Sydney, Australia, Author of Extravagant Worship and Kiss of Heaven
