Many of the best-loved Christian hymns move easily across cultural boundaries. The way they are sung may change from one place to another, but they speak even to worshipers far removed from their origins. How does this happen, and how can we make better use of these treasures of the whole church? John Ylvisaker has given his life to encouraging lively congregational song, and here makes a valuable contribution to the conversation about it.

When it comes to football chants, British fans surely must be top of the league. Throughout the country every weekend, football stadiums ring with the sound of hundred of thousands of supporters singing the praises of their favourite players, rubbishing the opposition, having a go at the ref and waxing lyrical about past legends. Chants can spring from deep-rooted rivalries or simply from the fact that a player has a funny name. Plundering the pop charts for tunes to set their ditties too, fans have come up with hundreds of hilarious, moving, clever and often downright scandalous songs...all brought together here! From close-to-the-knuckle terrace favourites to brilliantly witty off-the-cuff chants and the classics heard in nearly every stadium in the land, Shall We Sing a Song For You? is the perfect collection of the good, the bad and the downright offensive.

Among evangelicals, singing psalms is largely a thing of the past. In this pamphlet, Joel R. Beeke gives nine reasons why churches ought to return to the ancient practice of psalm singing. Here you will find the biblical basis, the experiential benefits, and the sheer beauty and glory of singing psalms. Those hoping to recover biblical faith in our day will do well to take part in the Christ- exalting and soul-enriching worship found in the inspired Psalms.

Do you sometimes wish there was a song that went along with your favorite children’s story? Do you sometimes wish you had a fun and cute activity for your students to do? Enclosed in this book are songs, some original and some classics, which lend themselves nicely to having something for children to hold. It is my experience that children have more fun in a lesson when there is something to actively do as opposed to simply listening to instruction. More fun will hopefully lead to better retention of the material taught! That is why this book was created. Velcro, felt, and glue guns are your friends! You can find materials for creative manipulatives at department stores, craft aisles and just about anywhere. Copy these ideas or use them as a starting point for your own ideas for manipulatives. The songs and manipulatives are super easy and super helpful. You will find your students singing these songs at various times throughout the day, to just start singing spontaneously. What a joy it is to hear children singing! And what a surprise when you hear what they remember! I hope you enjoy this resource for many years!
