The Worship Hour: Pastoral Resources for Congregational Connection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781641731379)

In The Worship Hour, Daniel Bagby offers helpful tools for ministers and laypeople as they lead their congregants each week.

People ofseeking faith assemble for worship during the same hour with different needs and expectations, dreams and hopes. Some want to recover a sense of purpose; others seek rituals of support and reassurance; still others listen for words of comfort and hope.This collection of meditations, litanies, and prayers will help believers connect-or reconnect-with a source of meaning and peace in their daily lives.

Daniel Bagby holds degrees from Baylor University (BA, MS) and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv, PhD). Dr. Bagby has pastored for almost thirty years; he has served in two pastoral counseling centers and as chaplain to a juvenile detention center and a women's prison. A frequent national speaker on pastoral care issues, Dr. Bagby has authored numerous articles and books, including Crisis Ministry: A Handbook and Beyond the Myths: The Journey to Adulthood.

Praise for The Worship Hour

"If I didn't know better, I'd think that Dan Bagby wrote The Worship Hour just for me. As a pastor, I love to utilize my own creativity in crafting language for corporate worship experiences, but quite often that well runs dry. Drawing on decades of experience as a pastor and professor, Bagby provides his readers with generously thoughtful meditations, prayers, litanies, sermon prompts, and more. So valuable is this collection that it will not reside on my bookshelf, but rather on the edge of my desk." -Daniel E. Glaze, Pastor, River Road Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia
