Servanthood of Song is a history of American church music from the colonial era to the present. Its focus is on the institutional and societal pressures that have shaped church song and have led us directly to where we are today.

We live increasingly disconnected lives, and our mental and spiritual health suffer as a result. In The Way Back to One Another, Jeff Galley and Phil Smith provide a remedy based on studying Scripture, learning from the global church, and observing best practices in thousands of small groups.

Why are there over 45,000 Christian denominations in the world rooted in only one Bible, one Savior, and one Holy Spirit who inspired the New Testament describing the Ecclesia (Church)? Jesus said there is only one nullifying (destroying) thing to the Word of God—tradition! So much of what happens in churches today is repetition of vain rituals, only making people feel religious and not fulfilling the Great Commission of either converting the lost or discipling the saints. Churches are dying, the youth view them as irrelevant, and are leaving for lack of life-changing power or excitement.

Increasingly, the Western world finds the church unnecessary, offensive, and irrelevant. Many Christians feel disoriented and discouraged.

People spend approximately one third of their lives at work. Whether paid or volunteer, blue collar or white collar, workers experience tremendous joys and significant challenges in their daily work. It should be no surprise, then, that their spiritual questions, frustrations, and longings are often directly connected to their various careers and callings. But when they are gathered for corporate worship, services rarely acknowledge or mention their working lives.
