    For more than 20 years, Worship Live drew together the best of new writing for worship. Many poets, musicians, hymnwriters and liturgists whose work would become well known first published in its pages. Worship Live honoured and nourished the many crafts involved in writing effective resources for worship, honing skills and sharpening tools, as we have worked with worship makers over the years. But the editors have also, to their great delight, given first flight to many who emerged newly fledged, feeling the wind of the Spirit under their wings, but tentative in trusting to their new plumage.

 
First Flight Feathers is a celebration of Worship Live. It showcases a vibrant collection of items by writers and musicians grow and shows how they can develop into a community.

    Despite her phenomenal success as a singer, Joni James initially had dreams of dancing. While she continued to receive scholarships and praise for her vocal performances, dancing was what she wanted to pursue and she continued to pay for lessons. When faced with the decision of going to school or pursuing her career, on the advice of a producer that “youth was the most urgent thing in show business,” she dove headfirst into singing. She went on to have eight singles in the top 10 and another 16 singles in the top 40 on Billboard’s Top 100 Chart between 1952 and 1961. In an interview with Wink Martindale, she recounts her enthralling journey from her dreams of being a dancer to her astounding success.
