Martin Smith—one of the leading voices in the modern worship movement—shares his story, his insight, and his challenge to change the world. For seventeen years, Smith held the microphone for Delirious?—the mega-selling, Dove Award-winning, Grammy-nominated band that helped bring the modern worship movement into existence. Here Martin reflects on everything from the craft of leading worship to the challenges of parenthood to how to find a place of compassion within a culture of consumerism. Along the way, he challenges readers: Are you going to be spectators—or agents of change? Are you going to read history—or make it happen? Are you just going to sing the songs—or will you live them out? Always personal and often surprising, Smith’s story will spur readers to embrace the action God wants them to take.

マーティン・スミスが綴る本書は、単なる成功者の回顧録ではありません。熱狂の渦中にいた彼がいかに真実の生を追い求めたかを描く、魂の告白です。消費文化の中で、歌うことと生きることを一致させようとする彼の真摯な葛藤は、読者の内面を激しく揺さぶります。 文字の向こうから響くのは、現状を拒み変革者になれという力強い呼びかけです。日常の細部に神聖な意志を宿らせるための思索は、芸術家の深みと人間としての誠実さに満ちています。歴史を単に消費する側から、自らが歴史を作る主体へと変容する勇気を、本作は情熱的に問いかけてくるのです。
