Devotional Warm-Ups for the Church Choir: Preparing to Lead Others in Worship (Training for Leadership in ... 2 reviews
Kenneth W. Osbeck
Kregel Publications, 2000
Excellent devotional for choirs...
The first thing I did when I started as choir director was look for a simple and easy devotional that I could interject into choir practice. I needed something that was not too involoved and fairly quick to get through since practice time is so limited. Osbeck does an excellent job of combining biblical concepts of music ministry with sound theology. The result is nothing less than a choir ...

Kenneth W. Osbeck
Kregel Publications, 1990
Well-done and Inspiring
I've owned this book for years and have used it for personal devotions and leading group devotions. It enlightens the soul through words, history, and song lyrics (it even has the music written out to the refrain for each song).
It has a devotion for every day of the year. Unlike some other devotions, it can be used any year, as the devotions are not designated by days of the week, only ...

52 Bible Characters Dramatized: Easy-to-Use Monologues for All Occasions6 reviews
Kenneth W. Osbeck
Kregel Publications, 1996
Simple Monologues Make the Point
These monologues are brief (under 5 minutes?) and capture the flavor of the Bible characters. They are great to use as part of a church service to add a little Christmas or Easter flavor, for example.
I or others have simply read them (sometimes in costume) and they went over well. Churches with extensive drama teams will probably not find these useful. But small and medium churches with ...

Joy to the World (Book & CD) 2 reviews
Kenneth W. Osbeck
Kregel Publications, 2000
A minister looks for stories for Christmas Eve
I ordered three books: Christmas Songs in America, Joy to the World! and Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas. Of the three Joy to the World! had the shortest descriptions and therefore was the least helpful to me. However, it did include eight songs not found in Stories behind the Best-Loved Songs.

hymn stories well told
Osbeck goes a great job bringing forth the people, musicians and stories behind classic hymns. Like Amazing Grace, he features many of my favorite and well known hymns. It's interesting to read about the composers motivation and to see the actual musical score.
