It’s not about how you sing, it’s about why.
Why do you sing at Church? From the tone deaf to the pitch perfect, everyone sings in Church. We don’t really ask why. We just turn up, stand up, and sing. Keith & Kristyn Getty look back of the history of praise and worship, and well as their own hymnal careers, to understand the reasons for singing out praise.
Reflecting on their own journey of travelling the world over empowering people to sing in passion, honesty and authority, the Getty’s ask big questions about singing in Church.,
In Sing! they explore how we were created to sing to God, commanded to sing to God, and made to sing to God together. Sing! is a book to fire you up for praising God, and a must-read for anyone who with a heart for worship. It refocuses you on who worship is for, who we sing to, and how it is a way to proclaim the Gospel as much as it is a way to experience it.
Sing! is a calling to make God known, and declare His presence in the world.
It is a passionate answer to the question: why do you sing at Church?

Notes
Why do you sing at church?
It's a question we almost never ask out loud. Yet, this is a question that is central to the lives of Christians who regularly gather together for worship. Do you sing to God? Or do you "address one another in hymns and spiritual songs," as the Scripture says? Do you close your eyes? What is your posture in worship? This book is designed with these questions in mind.
Or maybe you don't sing at church - or if you do, not with very much enthusiasm, hoping to hide behind a wall of sound. After all, not everyone sings at the same skill level, same rhythm, or pitch. Authors, lyricists, and worship leaders, Keith and Kristyn Getty write to church members to remind them why the Church should sing, when the Church should sing, and how the Church should sing. A congregation that gains a greater understanding of why they sing won't dread a worship service, with arms crossed and shoulders slumped, but see singing as an opportunity to proclaim the gospel together in obedience to God.
Sing! guides individual church members together with their congregation on a campaign to declare with one voice, This is why we sing!
