"There is a sound in the spirit longing to be released by hungry, raw worshipers, that is for such a time as this. It is a sound that is not just words and music, but rather a groan that comes from deep within us that causes the earth and its people to realign with our Heavenly Father. To worship in ‘spirit and in truth’ is not just a hopeful ideal, it is a must if we want to see His kingdom come on earth.

In this book Mary Elizabeth unpacks the power of authentic worship in simple yet profound ways. Her impact not only in Europe but the nations is because she lives the truths within this book. If you want to learn how to release worship that transforms hearts and impacts nations, learn from someone who does it themselves! Mary Elizabeth doesn’t just teach it, she lives it. If you are wanting to understand the power of worship and how to release the fragrance of Heaven in your communities, this book is for you!" - Roma Waterman, Melbourne, Australia

Mary Elizabeth shares testimonies and biblical truths to help worshipers go deeper in their understanding of true worship while valuing the uniqueness and diversity of each nation, culture, and personality expression. In this book you will find extra tools for worship leaders along with discussion questions and reflections to help you build and strengthen the worship culture around you.

In this book you will find how to:

  • Partner with the unique calling of worship in your nation
  • Respond in obedience to the Holy Spirit and God´s word in worship
  • Be authentic in expressing your personality type, culture, and sound in worship
  • Break out of the wrong mindsets and hindrances that hold you back in worship
  • Live out your identity as a true worshiper

"I have known Mary for over ten years and she lives what she writes. I highly recommend this book if you want a deeper understanding of God´s heart and your true identity as a worshiper."- Paul Baloche, songwriter and founder of leadworship.org
