Don’t fret - Don Purdey | Reviews | Premier Christianity
There have been many inspiring books written about worship, but where can you find advice as a leader who shapes your church's worship week by week? This book aims to address that need. It is a quick-to-read, organised and informative guide on the shaping and presentation of worship.
Don't Fret: The Worship Leader’s Pocketbook provides guidance on service planning, direction, flow and theology, as well as the critical skills of music presentation, platform ministry and service leadership. It is a practical guidebook for all involved in church leadership (both lay and ordained). The material for this book grew out of Don's thirty years of experience as a musician and worship leader, including 16 years as an ordained minister
About the Author
Don’t Fret: The Worship Leader’s Pocketbook grew out of Don’s 30 years of experience as a musician and worship leader, including 16 years as an ordained minister in the Uniting Church in South Australia. While sadly Don passed away in 2014, his family have worked to bring you this published version of Don’s manuscript. In this book, Don invites worship leaders to refine their practical worship skills and uncover truths on worshipping humbly and with a servant heart.

“From worship leader responsibilities, to testing cables, Don has it covered. I’ve rarely seen these things brought together so comprehensively, yet so accessibly.” - Craig Bailey, Director of Leadership, Uniting College, Adelaide
