"Does our worship mean anything? What is the ultimate purpose of our songs? The songs we sing in church or listen to were never meant to be a substitute for our worship; they were meant to enhance it. It's time to regain our voices; it's time to push through the outer court and reclaim the high places-the altars-where true worship happens.

Jesus longs to fulfill the lyrics of the songs we sing. But how do we move from words to action-to true experience? How does worship ripple through our communities, touching those who stand outside our realms, unacquainted with the resonance of conferences, concerts, and church services? When and how will they feel the presence of Jesus, the Healer, the Deliverer, the Transformer? In the coming days, weeks, months, and years, the church may look different. Churches today are afforded the freedom and luxury of grand stages, but tomorrow we may traverse from grand stages to hidden home sanctuaries. Yet, one truth remains unwavering: our sacred obligation to worship, no matter the backdrop. Whether you are a worship pastor, worship leader, or worshipper, this book was designed to kindle the flames of intimate worship moments for all Christians, no matter their position, talent or skill set. It beckons you to reflect on the gravity carried by the role we call ""worship leader."" As you journey through these pages, you will not only be enlightened, but also inspired to venture deeper into the sacred realm of worship."

Reviews for Spirit and Truth: Reclaiming the Heart of Worship

"In his new book, Spirit and Truth, Aaron Rios takes an honest look at worship in the modern church, examining the present state of what is called ""worship"" and comparing it to a biblical perspective of true worship-in spirit and in truth. Aaron understands that true worship happens when one has had a revelation of the Lord Jesus and an encounter in His holy presence in which the heart responds accordingly. I am confident from my personal observation of Aaron as a worshipper that he possesses a heart like that of David the psalmist, and a knowledge of the Lord and His Word that will reveal powerful insights for the reader. Jim Cernero Evangelist and Minister Certain Sound Ministries, Jarrell, Texas I have known Aaron Rios for over fifteen years, and I have seen God do a great work in him and through him over the years. His passion for music and worship has led him to author this book about true worship. The church in America has become a gourmet connoisseur of what we call worship. We have elevated the music and the experience of worship to a level that is more performance than true adoration to the Almighty. Aaron Rios offers through his book a recalculation of our path in worship to God. Dr. Greg Rakes Worship/Associate Pastor Lakeland, Florida Spirit and Truth is a book that connects the reader to the heart of God. In a day when we have many singers but few worshippers, this book is a must have! I recommend this book for those who are seeking a deeper intimacy with God that goes beyond music and into everyday life. Rev. Matthew Tullos Evangelist, Matt Tullos Ministries Get this book! I am so excited that my friend, psalmist and author Aaron Rios, has written his powerful new book, Spirit and Truth. Aaron is a powerful worship leader with his finger on the pulse of God. In this book, you will experience the renewing power of God's presence when you go deeper in worship. This book is a road map to spiritual intimacy and holiness. Your spirit will be awakened to what is possible when you lean into the secret place! Pat Schatzline Evangelist, Author, and CEO Remnant Ministries International Fort Worth, Texas Spirit and Truth is both an instructive and inspirational guide on the subject of worship. Aaron Rios not only asks the appropriate questions about what true worship involves, but he provides insightful direction on the journey that moves us well beyond ritual and religious exercise into a wholehearted worship that is grounded and rooted in a deep, personal relationship with our Lord. This book is not just about experiencing the personal joy of such a transformative relationship, but the privilege of leading others to that place and experience as well. It will leave you with an increased desire and passion to worship your Lord in spirit and in truth! Rev. Timothy P. Schmidt Senior Pastor Calvary Christian Church Lynnfield, Massachussets"
