NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • A sweeping, genre-bending “masterpiece” (Minneapolis Star Tribune) exploring Black art, music, and culture in all their glory and complexity—from Soul Train, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Whitney Houston, and Beyoncé ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Dallas Morning News, Publishers Weekly “Gorgeous essays that reveal the resilience, heartbreak, and joy within Black performance.”—Brit Bennett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half “I was a devil in other countries, and I was a little devil in America, too.” Inspired by these few words, spoken by Josephine Baker at the 1963 March on Washington, MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellow and bestselling author Hanif Abdurraqib has written a profound and lasting reflection on how Black performance is inextricably woven into the fabric of American culture. Each moment in every performance he examines—whether it’s the twenty-seven seconds in “Gimme Shelter” in which Merry Clayton wails the words “rape, murder,” a schoolyard fistfight, a dance marathon, or the instant in a game of spades right after the cards are dealt—has layers of resonance in Black and white cultures, the politics of American empire, and Abdurraqib’s own personal history of love, grief, and performance. Touching on Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Billy Dee Williams, the Wu-Tan Clan, Dave Chappelle, and more, Abdurraqib writes prose brimming with jubilation and pain. With care and generosity, he explains the poignancy of performances big and small, each one feeling intensely familiar and vital, both timeless and desperately urgent. Filled with sharp insight, humor, and heart, A Little Devil in America exalts the Black performance that unfolds in specific moments in time and space—from midcentury Paris to the moon, and back down again to a cramped living room in Columbus, Ohio.

795 hymns without music.
Enhance any praise and worship service with these flexible fingerstyle arrangements of classic hymns. Beautifully suited for solo guitar, these selections also work perfectly with a congregation or instrumental group. They are ideal for playing at the start or conclusion of any service, as musical interludes during prayer time, Offertory, or Scripture reading, or for simply enjoying at home. Seasonal songs are included as well, making this collection one you will enjoy all year long. Each hymn is arranged twice to cover a wide scope of playing abilities. The first time through is presented in a basic setting that is followed by a more challenging arrangement-play one version or both! Because the same hand positions are used, the first setting lays an easy foundation for the more elaborate fingerstyle techniques used later on. Performance notes, chord symbols and lyrics are included, and all the music is shown in standard notation and TAB. A complete performance of each hymn is provided on the CD.
Living Praise was created to help you! Finally, everything you need to plan, rehearse and maintain your blended or contemporary worship ministry program. This collection contains some of the most popular worship songs and beloved hymns, arranged as both stand-alones and fully noted worship medleys. This remarkably flexible resource allows you to choose one of the suggested medleys or create new medleys using the optional (but fully notated) segues. If you're new to contemporary/blended worship we've included special formation and instrument specific set-up and stylistic information to guide you. If you're a well-seasoned worship musician, you'll appreciate the timesaving resources such as the CD-Rom containing lead sheets, rhythm charts, additional instrument parts (hi/low, B-flat, C and E-flat), lyric files for printing/projecting, and the split-track CD for rehearsal and worship. It's all here---from rehearsal to Sunday---and more! Titles Include: Above All * All Creatures of Our God and King * Blessed Be Your Name * Forever * Here I Am to Worship * Holy, Holy, Holy * How Great Is Our God with How Great Thou Art* I Could Sing of Your Love Forever * I Give You My Heart * I Surrender All * I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light (Walkin' in the Light) * Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee * My Song Is Love Unknown * O Worship the King * Open the Eyes of My Heart * Praise to the Lord, the Almighty * Shout to the Lord * Take My Life and Let It Be * When I Survey the Wondrous Cross with You Are My King (Amazing Love).
Drawing together scholars from fields of biblical studies, systematic theology, liturgics, and pastoral theology, In Praise of Worship questions an overemphasis on singing and music (alone) as worship in today's church. Whilst not minimizing moments of conscious and deliberate worship, the authors show that according to a close reading of Scripture and a clear understanding of theology, the whole of our lives is to be considered as worship-glorifying to the Lord who deserves such honor.
