Essential Worship has been published. It's a very small book attempting to address a very large subject: how do we best worship God. To get an idea of what it contains, you can look at the Study Guide here.

I felt some pride by association when I learned that To Kill a Mockingbird has now been banned by would-be experts on both the Right and the Left. The most recent banning was brought about by a liberal group representing (so they said) some high school students who said that the white hero (who will always be Gregory Peck to me) represents the White Savior trope and the book isn't about the students. It also said that TKAM contained 47 instances of the use of the N-word. The reason I basked in the light of Harper Lee's book being banned is that my novel, The Sing  would be subject to the same complaints. The difference, of course, is that To Kill a Mockingbird was a best seller and a great movie. I think the kids should read it, it'll give them some iidea of just how complicated the times were.
