The Reset

A summary of this book:

Jeremy Riddle, who as a worship leader, songwriter, and church leader, has written this book The Reset, aimed at speaking into practices that have crept into Christian music and the worship industry. That it's called an industry, already, makes one smell a rat! He writes from one who was deep inside the Christian Music Industry; had worldwide recognition; led concerts; had a fan base; was a'christian' rockstar, for all intents and purposes. He writes from the perspective of how what is supposed to be holy, has been perverted by money, fame, recognition, awards, accolades, social media and the quest for popularity. The book's main theme is a call back to the integrity of true worship within the church, of a reformation of worship, of worship leaders, of the songs being written, of the songs being sung. He speaks of repentance, a return to purity, and a worship movement within the church where hearts are fully yielded and submitted to the Holy Spirit. The scary point is that he is speaking of the music & worship industry in general within the church, but you could replace the words, 'worship', 'worship leaders', and 'song writers', with the words 'church leaders', 'ministries', 'church services'. Much of what he writes about the corruption that has sneaked into the modern worship movement has crept into the modern church. But it's not all doom and gloom; the book speaks into hope and points to a way for worship music to get out of the place it finds itself in and get back to what God has always intended it to be. In that, it is quite inspiring, especially as Jeremy is doing what he has written into in this book.
