Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease)
July 30, 2009 - Although praise and worship happens in churches all over the world, few are aware of what the Bible actually says about it. Dr. Cheryl Wilson-Bridges, Minister of Music at the Community Praise Center in Alexandria, VA, removes the mystique surrounding praise and worship and delves into the Scripture in her new book to answer three very important questions: 1) What does God desire? 2) What does God require and 3) How should we aspire? Levite Praise: God’s Biblical Design for Praise and Worship, published by Creation House, a Strang Communications Company, views praise and worship from a uniquely biblical perspective and hits bookstores and online retailers on Tuesday, August 4, 2009.
Dr. Wilson-Bridges has received a Master of Arts in Practical Theology and Worship and a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership from Regent University. Originally penned for her terminal degree, Levite Praise is a necessary resource for pastors, worship leaders, choir directors and lovers of praise and worship. Wilson-Bridges says, “When readers take the time to dig deep and digest the principles and premises in each chapter of Levite Praise, I believe they will find knowledge unfolding that will enrich personal and corporate worship experiences.”
Bruce E. Winston, PhD, Dean of Regent University’s School of Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship says, “Dr. Wilson-Bridges’ latest book on praise leadership is a must read for leaders everywhere. Although her focus is on praise in the church her thought-provoking insight into leadership principles and her artful integration of leadership concepts from contemporary writers is informative to all leaders.”
Dr. Wilson-Bridges’ gift of singing was nurtured in the Seventh-day Adventist church and school systems. Her path to music ministry began in 1985 as a tenor with the female contemporary gospel group, Reconciled. This experience allowed her to minister to thousands and witness first hand that music is a powerful tool of worship and evangelism. Currently she serves as presiding pastor and ordained elder at her home church. She has conducted worship seminars worldwide including Boston, Atlanta, and London and just garnered the 2009 Outstanding Minister of Music Award by the Guild of Adventist Musicians.
