Since its publication over twenty years ago, Up with Worship has proven itself to be an enduring classic. The first book of its type, it was truly ahead of its time. With demand for this book continual and broad, author Anne Ortlund is now revising and expanding on the original theme. Ortlund contends that we fail to experience the Presence when we don't allow ourselves to worship in the now and instead become lost in past successes. Up with Worship encourages the pursuit of God's presence— to the point we become so thirsty we become “absolutely cotton—mouthed.” Up with Worship is also a very practical book that gives “how to” instructions for such worship elements as the prelude, ambience, using praise songs and hymns as well as special music, prayer, announcements, the sacraments, and preaching. Also such “behind the scenes” topics as bulletins, greeters and ushers, preparation, and a worship service flow are covered.

Ray Ortlund was tired of being an ordinary pastor at an ordinary church. In a scene that seems right out of a Charles Sheldon book, Ortlund stood in front of his congregation and asked them to make a commitment—a commitment to God, to the church, and to the work. He called this little ragtag band of Christians the Company of the Committed, something happened—a spark set fire to an ember. A few years later there was no small group with a catchy name because the entire church had become a Company of the Committed. 
 Like Ray, many Christians desire to be more than ordinary; they wish their lives to be a miracle. In their classic book, Ray and Anne tell how one band of Christians transformed their lives, their church, and their community.
