Singer-songwriter Martin Smith of Delirious teams with co-writer Craig Borlase to tell the story of one of Christian music's most popular worship bands in Delirious: My Journey With the Band, a Growing Family and an Army of Historymakers, released last month by David C. Cook.

For 17 years, Smith fronted Delirious, known for such songs as "Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?" and "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever." The Dove Award-winning, GRAMMY-nominated band helped bring the modern worship movement into existence.

Written to show how God used "five ordinary guys" and how He can use every believer, Delirious also offers thoughts on today's music scene. Reflecting on the early days of the worship movement, Smith writes: "We've become too song focused, and in truth I believe that we need to be more worship focused. We've lost the ability to push aside the songs and replace them with twenty-five minutes of crying out, opening our hearts and heads with the raw worship of God who's within us."
