For the story behind the book.. check out below

One spring I started writing stories of my life and ministry on Facebook and that grew into a blog: “Following God: Notes From A Great Adventure” @ markcole.ca.  It was an unusual experience… I felt compelled to write every morning for months..

A few months into the process, I got a message from Jeanne Halsey that said, “I didn’t get the memo that you were writing a book”. I responded that “it didn’t start out as a book but I began to realize that there were probably possibilities for a couple of books from the blog.”

Jeanne (who is a very experienced ghost writer and editor) then kindly asked if she could help me turn my blog into a book. From that quick conversation (and many emails) has emerged a book that I’m very proud of and I hope will become a real blessing for worship leaders and teams around the world: “Leading Worship: Notes From A Grand Adventure”

I want to thank Howard Rachinski (CEO of CCLI) for writing the Forward, my son-in-law, Ryan Iverson for designing the cover and, of course, Jeanne Halsey for all her work in making this into a book.

    I’d like to get a copy of this book. Is there an ebook version. I’m sure it would make a lot of difference in the lives of the worship leaders in our church.
    Thank you.

    Mark, is there anyway to get access to the brass accompaniment parts you arranged for “Rejoice”? I heard the shortened version on the Make Way for the King of Kings (Carnival of Praise) and thought the energy those parts bring to this song would make an excellent Call to Worship song for our congregation.

    Thanks for all you do for worship leaders.

      Hi Glenn.. thanks for your enquiry for ‘Rejoice’.. I’m afraid that ‘Rejoice’ was arranged on an old computer that has since died.. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any trace of those charts.. sorry.. Blessings on you and your ministry.
