Marty Haugen Libri

For those grieving the loss of a loved one or searching for consolation and hope, this spiritual guide creates a framework for the journey toward healing.

Exploring the balance between tradition and modernity in church liturgy, this book addresses how parish ministers and lay leaders can return to foundational practices in Sunday services while preserving valued programs. It highlights concerns over public speaking and musicianship potentially becoming mere entertainment for passive congregants. The text also tackles the challenge of maintaining relevance in sermons, cautioning against prioritizing contemporary social issues over authentic liturgical practices and biblical interpretation.

Bestselling composer Marty Haugen's Child of Wonder, written for the baptism of his godson, celebrates the sacredness of human life and childhood. Now in this wonderful book, artist Stephen Nesser illuminates the lyrics with scenes of childhood rituals from faith traditions and cultures around the world, who play together to form community. These vibrant illustrations are a perfect complement to Marty's inspired poetry. Included with the volume is a link to a free mp3 download of the song, as well as the full notation of Child of Wonder for families that wish to sing along.
