Sound. Movement. It's said that the two are inseparable-- literally and metaphorically. Many of us desire to move forward, attain and take ownership of our place in life; yet we find ourselves aimlessly meandering or trudging along, having no idea what is stifling and debilitating our movement no matter what we do. The solution may very well be right in front of you-- or more accurately, right inside of you. The Power Of The Voice addresses the many issues that stop us from becoming who we truly are, and challenges the reader to face the fears that have formed over years of silence and have caused arrested development in many areas. Your unique expression may be the key to your success, to your freedom. Open this book and enter a world that has existed within you from the very beginning; find, regain, and use your unique sound.

From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking readers from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control.Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.

There are many people in the area of praise and worship leading that feel there is something more to reach for... something beyond our typical experiences in worship that speaks to a new, even greater purpose. Many questions have risen concerning the hows, the whats of touching heaven when we sing, when we dance, when we worship. "Why can't I seem to go where that leader goes when he sings? How do you even know what God is saying when you hear that sound?" Answers seem hard to come by, as a God-given gift can be hard to explain or teach. Who says spiritual things have to be beyond the grip of understanding? Moving With Heaven: The Prophetic Worshiper's Handbook clearly and practically walks you through what it means to agree with God's purpose in sound, and to powerfully activate it in the heart of the earth. You will be enlightened as even the most supernatural of God's gifts can be put into simple terms so that you can grow in your understanding of who you are as a leader in worship.
