Gathered by Love: Worship Resources for Year C

There is not a better book for worship preparation and I have used most of them in the past 17 years in leading worship. As a pastor called to guide worship each Sunday of the year for my congregation, I can only congratulate Bayler for his work here. He is obviously a talented writer and worship leader. This is one of three resources, each based on a particular year in the lectionary (years A, B, and C). Bayler has responsive readings, prayers, and liturgical guides for the entirety of worship. His use of language is well thought out, beautifully done, and his help here is a reliable guide for worship leaders. In the back of the book there are even suggested hymns, which he has written for each Sunday based on a well known tune. I have used this series for several years and have become more and more convinced that it stands out from the rest of the crowd of worship aids. Outstanding!
