A Timely Call to Rediscover Worship in Everyday Life
Nelson Books announces the upcoming release of EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH: Unlocking Deep Joy Through Everyday Acts of Worship by Grammy nominated worship leader Phil Wickham, available August 11, 2026. The announcement comes as Wickham shares a first look at the cover with his social media audience of over 5.9 million followers. The book inspired a new song also titled “Everyday Hallelujah”, which he is currently performing acoustically on his 40-city arena tour, the Song of the Saints tour. At a time when many are searching for meaning, resilience, and spiritual grounding, EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH offers a timely and compelling invitation to rediscover worship as a way of life.
In EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH, Wickham expands the conversation beyond music and into the rhythms of daily living, exploring how worship is not confined to church services or moments on stage but expressed through ordinary acts of faith, gratitude, and surrender. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and 20 years of leading worship around the world, he reframes worship as a posture of the heart that can transform work, family life, relationships, and even seasons of struggle. The book traces a biblical vision of worship from Genesis to Revelation while offering readers a practical and deeply personal pathway to experience God’s presence in everyday moments. The message resonates with audiences navigating a culture marked by distraction and pressure, inviting them into a more grounded and enduring sense of joy, purpose, and connection with God.
“Through writing this book, it became so clear to me that God is with us in every moment, and that when we turn our hearts toward Him, even the ordinary parts of life can become acts of worship. My hope is that this message helps people see their lives as a song of praise, an anthem of worship, an everyday hallelujah,” Wickham said while reflecting on the heart behind the book.
The release also marks a unique intersection of Wickham’s music and writing. The book directly inspired his new song “Everyday Hallelujah,” which has already begun connecting with audiences during his current tour. Performed in intimate acoustic settings, the song brings the core message of the book to life in real time, creating a cohesive experience that bridges worship music and spiritual formation. Together, the song and book reflect a unified vision that encourages people to see every moment as an opportunity for worship.
“In EVERYDAY HALLELUJAH, Phil Wickham remind readers that worship isn’t characterized by certain creative expressions or moments, but instead is a beautiful, powerful part of daily life,” said Andrew Stoddard, VP and Publisher of Nelson Books. “We are proud to publish Phil and we believe that this book will inspire and encourage readers to encounter God in meaningful way every day.”
