Audience of One

This book challenged my very thought of how to worship God. I too like Jeremy faught with what I believe was the only model to preach... three point sermons, three verse hymns, etc. This book allowed me to see that God wants that man made mold to be broken to reach the people who dont see everything so linear or religious. God wants us to focus on him and commit every work, worship or act to Him and Him only. If you are seeking a more intimate relationship with God, this book with set you on the right journey. Scriptures selected are helpful and back up Jeremy's vision.

Jeremy and his wife have done us a great favor in candidly sharing their anxiety and excitement as God totally moved in and changed their whole way of looking at ministry. The title really says it all - we minister to Jesus, an audience of One. If more people happen to be in attendance, Great!, but whether there is one, one hundred, or one thousand, our efforts should be directed 100% heavenward.This will help you train your gifted people to learn that gifting and anointing are two very different things! In fact, gifting can many times hinder the anointing because we get so caught up in how great we are that our fleshly pride just thrives in all the adoration.Guess you can tell I give this book to anyone considering ministry of any kind, but special emphasis on the arts and musicians.( )

I love this book because of the transparency of the authors. I am a worship leader and require anyone who is considering joining us in ministry to read this book. Jeremy and his wife were very traditional in their approach to church, music, God and loved everything in a nice neat box. God had a different plan. This book beautifully describes the process the Sinnotts went through from "frightened" to "intimate". The title sums it up - what's your motivation? Are you trying to impress someone with your musical talent or are you trying to bring other people in God's presence through worship? You will love this book.
