Every hallelujah doesn’t have to be sung. Some hallelujahs are lived.What if understanding worship as our truest purpose could move us beyond a surface-level faith and into a life of true spiritual intimacy and joy with God? In Everyday Hallelujah singer-songwriter Phil Wickham invites us to see worship not as a Sunday-morning ritual but as a way of life, a way to receive and give God’s grace and to celebrate his faithfulness. With contagious passion, Phil takes readers on a journey through Scripture to explore how worship shapes the way we live, work, love, and reflect God’s presence to the world around us. Phil shows us howAdam and Eve expressed their worship through their work, relationships, and obedience;Daniel’s everyday-worship habits prepared him for the lion’s den;Elijah worshiped by boldly declaring God’s promises on Mount Carmel;Mary and Martha learned how to worship in the waiting; andPaul and Silas sang songs in the night to break strongholds. Worship is the very reason we exist. When our hearts are turned toward God’s glory in the everyday moments of life, we begin to see that every place we stand is holy ground.

From Grammy-nominated songwriter and recording artist Phil Wickham, Everyday Hallelujah is a bold invitation to embrace the biblical truth that worship is not just a praise song or a Sunday ritual but the true purpose of our lives.God is always closer than we think. But how can we experience more of the life he wants for us? What if understanding worship as our truest purpose can be the catalyst for moving beyond a surface-level faith and into a life of true spiritual intimacy and joy?In Everyday Hallelujah, singer-songwriter Phil Wickham calls us to see worship not as a Sunday-morning ritual but as a way of life, a way to receive and give God's grace and to celebrate his faithfulness. With a contagious passion for worship, Phil takes readers on a journey through Scripture to explore what it means to reflect God's love to the world around us. He shows us howAdam and Eve expressed their worship through their work, relationships, and obedience;Daniel's everyday worship habits prepared him for the lion's den;Elijah on Mount Carmel worshiped by boldly declaring God's promises;Mary and Martha learned how to worship in the waiting; andPaul and Silas sang songs in the night to break strongholds. Worship is the very reason we exist. Living each day with a heart bent toward reflecting God's glory and character impacts how we walk, talk, work, and live in relationship to others. A life centered on worship calls us to declare God's faithfulness in the here and now. It means recognizing God's presence with us, knowing that we can live in joy and hope because, no matter where we are, we are standing on holy ground.

This book examines the work and art of Bill Douglas, thirty years after his death.Douglas made only a small body of work during his lifetime: The Bill Douglas Trilogy, based on his deprived childhood in Scotland; and Comrades, his epic on the Tolpuddle Martyrs; but he is acknowledged by many as one of Britain’s greatest filmmakers. His films inspire a depth of passion in those that have seen them, and interest in his work has intensified over the years, both within the UK and overseas.This is the first work to examine Douglas’s life and career through archive material recently made available to researchers. Editors Amelia Watts and Phil Wickham have carefully selected a range of voices—both scholars and practitioners—to reappraise Douglas’s career from a variety of angles. The book raises important questions about Douglas’s status as an artist, and reflects on his struggles within the film industry of the 1970s and 1980s in order to consider the attendant difficulties of working within a collaborative and commercial medium such as cinema. The volume also explores the wider legacy of this film artist, through the collection on moving image history he assembled with Peter Jewell, which became the foundation of the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. It will appeal to film students and scholars, and the small but committed group of general readers who are interested in Douglas’s work.The book has a foreword by the renowned filmmaker Mark Cousins, who, like many other contemporary directors, is a great enthusiast for Douglas’s work.
