Back with a New Book!

Most of the 40 to 50 friends who check this site are far more loyal than a prodigal blogger deserves. So if you wonder why I post so erratically, here's the scoop: I have never loved blogging, but only writing. So I blog when I'm not writing something somewhere else. And for the past six weeks I've been locked away in my tower—okay, the back bedroom—finishing a book that my friend, Terry Law, and I started more than two years ago.

I'm happy to say that "The Power of Praise and Worship," by Terry Law with Jim Gilbert will be released on July 16, 2008. I mean the book, of course, not the actual power of prai...well, you understand.

You would do your humble servant a great honor by asking your local Barnes and Borders-a-Million if they have a copy, so they'll have to look it up. I also wouldn't be surprised to see it on a rotating rack in Wal-Mart, right around where T.D. Jakes sits.

I'll post again, but for now, the cultures wars can wait a day or two.

Hi Jim , so rather than order it on Amazon, it benefits everyone more to request it at my local bookstore? Consider it done! Guess what everyone's getting for Christmas this year! Gee, hope my brother doesn't read this.....

Hey Jim,

Great news about the book. I was talking about Terry Law this week. A dear friend of mine died suddenly, and I was telling people about Terry's experience and the importance of praising God through personal tragedy. I look forward to seeing what you guys have to say. I just finished Noel Due's book Created for Worship. Good book but challenging. Thanks for being who you are and thanks for being my friend.

Sherri just ordered our copies from Barnes & Noble. What I know of Terry's story has helped me in dealing with the pain of my loss. I am eager to read the book, to know more, to learn more, and to praise Him especially in the hard times. Please extend my thanks to
Terry for reliving his pain to share his story to help others like me heal.

Hi Jim:

I viewed your blog for the first time today! I love your profile photo: you look like a CIA agent for Jesus!

PS I saw you on the six o'clock news. I suppose our emails helped...

See you soon,

Dana Luca

Jim - I received my copy of "The Power of Praise and Worship" from Amazon last weekend. I still have my old copy of TPoPaW but I had to get one with your name on the cover.

To Jim's readers:
TPoPaW is much more than just a book you read. It is an intimate conversation with two personal spiritual mentors who guide, invest, impart, enable and encourage you to accept the holy invitation to worship.
