Chris Tomlin – författare

Grammisvinnaren och lovsångsledaren Chris Tomlin och Pat Barrett, berättar tillsammans om den lilla björnen Tucker, vars liv, och folkets liv i den lilla staden, för alltid förändras när de får lära sig hur stor kungens kärlek är till dem. När Tuckers vänner behöver hjälp beger han sig av på en resa för att träffa kungen som bor i ett slott där dörren alltid är öppen. Den här hjärtevärmande berättelsen, tillsammans med Lorna Husseys underbara och underfundiga illustrationer, talar om för barn, unga och gamla, att Gud är en god, god far och att de är älskade av honom. Du har hört tusen berättelser, men sanningen i det du här får läsa om den goda, goda pappan kommer att röra vid ditt hjärta. Den här vackra bilderboken, skriven av grammisvinneran och lovsångsledaren Chris Tomlin och Pat Barrett, kommer att ge barn en större förståelse av vem Gud är och vilka de är eftersom de är älskade av honom. En god, god far är inspirerad av lovsången ?Good Good Father?, som går att höra på Chris Tomlins nya album. Den lilla björnen Tucker vill ge den perfekta presenten till kungen, för att övertyga honom om att hjälpa dem. Längs vägen till slottet möter han ett antal roliga djur som alla ger honom råd, vilka bara gör honom mer förvirrad över hurdan kungen verkligen är. Han känner sig inte alls säker på att kungen verkligen kommer att vilja hjälpa honom. Just när Tucker är redo att ge upp möter han kungen som springer mot honom med öppna armar och erbjuder honom kärlek, förståelse och hjälp.

Recenter God in your life with How Great Is Our God: Living A Worship-Led Life In a Me-Driven World by Grammy Award-winning worship artist Chris Tomlin. In this intimate look at his songs, Tomlin shows how worship music is more than just music but a tool for putting God first.Living in a me-driven world means being the king of a small, earthbound kingdom. Chris Tomlin posits that when you choose to live a worship-led life instead, you will eventually gain welcome to God’s eternal kingdom. After spending over two decades as one of the most successful worship musicians in the market, he’s learned that he wasn’t just called to sing but to lead others to God. He shows with his writing how God is all around us, encouraging us to reject the worldly notion of living for ourselves and instead decide to live for Him. Tomlin uses his experience as a worship artist to detail what it means to truly live a worship-led life, including: Exploring how his songs emphasize a God-centered life, Explaining how Christians can redefine worship in their everyday lives, And breaking down Bible verses that celebrate God’s greatness. How Great Is Our God calls readers to remember the true meaning of worship—singing God’s praises both inside and outside of church. When you live a me-driven life, you choose to focus on yourself, but when you live a worship-led life, you choose to focus on God and others. Follow along with Chris Tomlin as he considers the importance of reshaping your world around God and laying yourself at His feet.

'Här kommer en sån bok som vi alla behöver. Med god teologisk tyngd och ett enkelt "lättsamt" språk som både är berättande, förkunnande och fängslande tar författarna oss med på en resa i hisnande historia kring lovsångens ursprung, mål och mening'. MATTIAS MARTINSON Varje gång jag vände blad blev mitt hjärta på nytt inspirerat att prisa vår store Gud med allt jag har! MICHAEL W. SMITH ”Om du känner som jag, att du vill ha mer på fötterna och mer kunskap kring tillbedjan, så är denna bok ett bra köp! Jag är övertygad om att när vi tillåter oss att reflektera över Hur och Varför vi gör det vi gör, så kan vi tillsammans gå längre och djupare i vår uppgift. Att det sedan finns verktyg i denna bok, vare sig ni studerar boken i en smågrupp eller i ditt lovsångsteam, är helt brilliant! Låt oss gräva djupare tillsammans!” JOSEFINA GNISTE, LOVSÅNGSLEDARE OCH LÅTSKRIVARE ”Jag älskar att lära mig nya saker om lovsång och tillbedjan, och just därför älskade jag att läsa den här enastående boken. Darren och Chris tar med oss in i betydelsen av de gamla hebreiska orden för ”lovpris-ning” och längs vägen ger de oss fakta, insikter och inspiration. Det är viktigt att vi tillber Gud med vårt förstånd, och därför är det här en så betydelsefull bok. Läs den – det är dags att stämma in i det heliga ropet!” MATT REDMAN, LOVSÅNGSLEDARE OCH LÅTSKRIVARE ”Chris och Darren har skrivit en inspirerande, insiktsfull och konkret bok om tillbedjan och lovsång. De förklarar bibliska begrepp och lyf-ter på locket till andliga sanningar. Deras undervisning kommer att väcka en hunger i dig efter att vända ditt hjärta till Gud oftare och mer passionerat. Vad skulle kunna vara bättre än det?” MAX LUCADO, FÖRFATTARE OCH PASTOR
