'WOW - I love David's approach in ' The Worship Songwriter'. I can tell he knows the path that us creatives need to take, and he is an effective guide in drawing others on to the path while dispelling some of the common misconceptions about what we do. I'm really grateful that David overcame his fear, kept an appointment with himself, and wrote this powerful and punchy little book!'

- Brian Doerksen // Integrity Recording Artist, Songwriter of Refiner's Fire, Come Now Is the Time to Worship, Hallelujah (Your Love Is Amazing)'David is a very gifted songwriter and worship leader with a great heart for the Church. He has put together a precise and insightful book here that is easy to dive into and could be a great help to young songwriters looking to further develop their craft.'

You will be equipped and inspired to write songs that will encourage the church and ultimately bring glory to God'- Ben Cantelon // Songwriter, Worship Leader, Soul Survivor'It is my pleasure to recommend The Worship Songwriter by David Santistevan.

I have known David since he was a college student and have followed him closely via his blog, sharing many of his articles with worship leaders in the U.S. On page 11 of this inspiring book he writes, “The worship songs you love were written from a burning heart. You can feel it.

You can tell when the writer is on his face before God.” Those sentences took me back in my memory to sitting in a living room with David and a group of friends, listening to some of his new worship songs. I had the definite sense that evening of the burning heart of a true worshipper, something I have admired in him over the years. Thanks David for serving His Church and building His kingdom by building and equipping his worshippers.' - Dave Pedde // President, Sanctus School for Worshippers' The Worship Songwriter is both practical and inspirational, and it belongs in the tool belt of anyone who composes songs for worship. You'll walk step by step through the writing process, from the initial 'brainstorming/free-writing' step to final edits.

Through simple, yet thought provoking methods David reminds us what our job is not only as writers but first as worshippers.

- Tyler Braun // Author, Why Holiness Matters: We've Lost Our Way-But We Can Find it Again'Songwriting is a conglomeration of so many different things. It's a fine balance of Biblically accurate spirituality, emotion, and practicality. David does a good job of encouraging the worship songwriter to think realistically about the creative process while they juggle all that's in their head and heart in this book. I'm glad he decided to put his process down on paper for usit's something we can all learn from.' - Michael Olson // Music Pastor, Christ's Church of the Valley.
