GOD SONGS

"God Songs" is our latest book, written with Paul
Baloche.... We've just gone into our fourth printing 
since it came out a year ago today.  We hope it will be
our legacy, to influence a new generation in the songs that are written
for the church to use in worship.  If you haven't seen it, please have a look 
at our website below. Here are some of the reviews we’ve been getting on it.

Blessings,
Jimmy and Carol Owens"

What Others Are Saying 
about God Songs…

A ground breaking work for the church. Your words have already had
tremendous impact on me as a Worship Pastor evaluating and choosing new
songs for our congregation. I no longer have to just "trust my gut" and
hope I'm right. I can actually explain why a song does or doesn't stand
a good chance of being one our people will worship with and be right
most of the time. I'm not a songwriter, but I am thrilled about the
impact this work will have on those in the Body who are. I anticipate a
higher overall quality of worship songs to begin emerging in the next
few years due to people taking your principles to heart.     
(Todd Hinkie, Worship Pastor, Grace Community Church, Tyler, Texas)

The new reference in songwriting for the church…a stellar new book that
triumphs in teaching the church how to write its new music liturgy, as
it is inspired by the Spirit of God. The first real "epic" to be
written for the purpose. Christian colleges should seriously consider
using this as the core course content for a songwriting track in music
ministry degrees. It is simply fantastic. We have given it our Editor's
Choice Award (and Book of the Year Award) to help show our appreciation
for the great contribution made by the authors!  
(Kim Gentes, WorshipMusic.com)

We think it is phenomenal! It is a fantastic work, and so helpful 
for aspiring songwriters and worship leaders. We will definitely 
use this book as a resource tool.
 (Ross Parsley: Minister of Worship; New Life Church
Ted Haggard, Pastor. Colorado Springs)

“Wow! What a tremendous resource this will be for songwriters, 
music ministers and worship leaders…Well organized, well written,
comprehensive and very practical. Back in the 70’s 
I majored in Bible and minored in church music, and 
this book would have been worth its weight in gold.” 
(Alan Quain, D.Min., Strang Publications)

“‘God Songs’ is a must for all Christian writers…unique from all 
other books on songwriting. This is more than just a great book 
on the subject of writing songs for worship, this is a resource 
that you’ll want to turn to over and over again.”
  (Holland Davis, for Cross Rhythms magazine, UK)

This is the BEST BOOK ON SONGWRITING I HAVE EVER READ... PERIOD !
... a must for worship leaders also because it describes what we should be looking
for when we are choosing songs that congregations can sing. Everyone on
our songwriting team has a copy and we refer to it often in our
discussions on new material and songs. 
(Sion Alford)
