I am honored to recommend this book to Worship Ministers, Pastors and worshippers of all denominations and generations. It is one of those “must-read” titles that will prove to be an invaluable resource for your worship personnel, time and time again. Good for you, Mark … this is an excellent read!

God has given Mark amazing experiences to share, from the mountain tops to the valleys – literally and figuratively. When you read these stories and sense his heart, you’ll be inspired to dream again. Breathe in the fresh air of your own adventure, and live out a life of worship in spirit and truth.

You will learn about a true heart of worship through Mark’s quest for excellence in purity of heart, and his exceptional transparency as a man in search of the very presence of God – This book is an invaluable tool for any budding or experienced Worship Leader.

Mark’s 40-plus years of experience has enabled him to provide us with wisdom and understanding regarding worship. It is practical, it is clear, it is real…. Mark is passing the baton of his calling to you. Like Mark, may this book help you to run with the baton of your calling to your generation.

For the story behind the book.. check out below
One spring I started writing stories of my life and ministry on Facebook and that grew into a blog: “Following God: Notes From A Great Adventure” @ markcole.ca. It was an unusual experience… I felt compelled to write every morning for months..
A few months into the process, I got a message from Jeanne Halsey that said, “I didn’t get the memo that you were writing a book”. I responded that “it didn’t start out as a book but I began to realize that there were probably possibilities for a couple of books from the blog.”
Jeanne (who is a very experienced ghost writer and editor) then kindly asked if she could help me turn my blog into a book. From that quick conversation (and many emails) has emerged a book that I’m very proud of and I hope will become a real blessing for worship leaders and teams around the world: “Leading Worship: Notes From A Grand Adventure”
I want to thank Howard Rachinski (CEO of CCLI) for writing the Forward, my son-in-law, Ryan Iverson for designing the cover and, of course, Jeanne Halsey for all her work in making this into a book.
really learning a lot from your notes.. God bless you
Thank you for being generous in sharing your experiences as a worship leader …. we learn a lot from your notes.

Thanks so much Mahelia!
I am really inspired by your teaching on worship; please continue to help, it’s not always easy. God bless.
Good work
God bless you for your lessons
This is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing your experience as a worshipper.
Is there an e-book version please?
Hi Joy.. Yes.. there is a Kindle version http://www.markcole.ca/book/
I’d like to get a copy of this book. Is there an ebook version. I’m sure it would make a lot of difference in the lives of the worship leaders in our church.
Thank you.
Yes.. it’s available on Amazon
Mark, is there anyway to get access to the brass accompaniment parts you arranged for “Rejoice”? I heard the shortened version on the Make Way for the King of Kings (Carnival of Praise) and thought the energy those parts bring to this song would make an excellent Call to Worship song for our congregation.
Thanks for all you do for worship leaders.

Hi Glenn.. thanks for your enquiry for ‘Rejoice’.. I’m afraid that ‘Rejoice’ was arranged on an old computer that has since died.. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any trace of those charts.. sorry.. Blessings on you and your ministry.
Congratulations Mark! You deserve every success. Your leadership, talent, and organizational skills are over the top. I’m honoured to have worked with you and for you – good times! Thank you & be blessed.
Thanks so much Irene!
