Whether she's convinced all the good guys are taken, sick of kissing frogs, or simply feeling cursed by Cupid, Tristan and Todd will teach the reader how to fill her plate with loads of tantalizing princes and sample her way to the mindset that there's no such thing as a bad date. Best friends and dating coaches to each other practically since birth, Tristan and Todd believe (and lived) the philosophy that every single date is an opportunity for growth. "MENu Dating" is a program based book that teaches readers how to 'taste test' their way through a variety of, sometimes outrageous, but always instructive 'mandidates'. The authors believe that rotating a roster of men without the goal of settling down takes the pressure off each individual date, and allows the dater to learn and discern her wants from her needs...not to mention, have some seriously delicious fun along the way.

Words have great significance, but they are easily taken for granted. In Worship Words, the third volume in the Engaging Worship series, the authors make a careful examination of the role and use of language in the worship of the church. Their goal is to help pastors and worship leaders come to a renewed appreciation and understanding of words in worship and to inspire them to use words more intentionally--to the greater glory of God and the greater blessing of God's people. Topics in this reflective yet highly practical book include dimensions of language, repetition, authenticity, metaphor, tradition, lament, and worship planning. It is broad-ranging in its audience, addressing important questions that cut across worship styles and various church traditions.
