Available today, high regard for GRAMMY® winner and  worship leader Chris Tomlin and Pastor Darren Whitehead's  HOLY ROAR, 7 Words that will Change the Way You Worship is flowing in from leading pastors and worship leaders across the globe:

"I loved reading this brilliant book. Darren and Chris take us deep into the meaning of the ancient word for "praise" and along the way they illuminate, inform and inspire us. Read it-it's time to join the Holy Roar!"

-Matt Redman, Award winning Worship Leader & Songwriter 

"Chris and Darren have written an inspiring, insightful and practical book on worship. They unpack key biblical terms and, in doing so, unlock spiritual truths. Their teaching will activate within you a desire to turn your heart toward God more frequently and passionately. What could be greater than that?"

-Max Lucado, Author & Pastor 

"Holy Roar is a very important book in this season in history. I believe this book will help the greater church become rich in understanding, as the Holy Spirit leads us to live authentic, purposed, worshipful lives before our gracious and loving God. To Him be all the glory!"

-Darlene Zschech, Worship Leader & Songwriter 

"Wow! There is so much packed into this book. So many great stories and Bible!! I will be reading this one over and over again. What a great tool for all of us. We will definitely be including this as curriculum in our worship university."

-Brian Johnson, Worship Leader & Songwriter, Bethel Music 

"In a powerful yet practical revelation of worship, Holy Roar ignites a passion in us to fulfill our greatest calling.  I believe this book will play a major role in the church's understanding of worship in years to come."

-Banning Liebscher, Jesus Culture Founder and Pastor Author of Rooted: The Hidden Places Where God Develops You 

Sunday night at Nashville's Church of the City, Elisabeth Hasselbeck helped Tomlin and Whitehead celebrate the release of HOLY ROAR, talking with each about the inspiration behind the book, its purpose, and how it has affected each of them personally. Woven throughout the night Tomlin performed some of the worship songs from the book including, "We Fall Down" and "How Great Is Our God." 

In HOLY ROAR, Tomlin and Whitehead share a fresh perspective from the worship practices of the ancient world. The book aims to grow readers in their understanding of praise as Whitehead offers unique insights, and be inspired as Tomlin shares how those insights take shape in the stories behind favorite worship songs.

Kicking off later this week on October 12th in St Louis, MO., Tomlin will launch his Good Good Father Tour, during which Whitehead will share from HOLY ROAR. Hitting 18 cities across the U.S., the tour will also feature special guest Matt Maher.  For tour dates information and tickets click here.
