About The Air I Breathe
Worship is more than singing on Sunday morning. While that’s part of it, worship is the essence of what makes us truly human. God sparked this desire within our hearts from the day He first breathed life into Adam and Eve. Since then, every single human who has walked this planet has participated in this God-given ability, and divine quest. While many have squandered their gift, there are those who find the wonder-filled life of communion with God no matter the time or place.
True freedom comes when worship flows through us as naturally as the air we breathe, when the words and actions in our lives resonate with our Creator so deeply that every inhalation is full of meaning. When we understand the holiness of the God who knows the stars by name—and His overwhelming love for each one of us—how can we offer anything less?
In The Air I Breathe, Louie Giglio explains in passionate prose what it means to truly live a life of worship, offering insight and guidance for finding our personal path towards connecting with the God of the Universe.
Praise
“At last, Louie Giglio has put into print the message God birthed in him years ago…a message that has shaped a generation of students, a message that has sent shock waves through the church, a message that has the potential to profoundly impact your worship.”
—Andy Stanley, Senior Pastor, North Point Ministries and Author of Next Generation Leader
“I’m not a worship guy…er, so I thought, but Louie’s book nailed me. After reading his book I finally ‘get’ worship. Louie helped me realize that worship is an all-the-time thing, a life thing. I was encouraged by this book. Mostly I was moved by Louie’s obvious passion for God and his gift for making worship make sense.”
—Michael Yaconelli, Owner, Youth Specialties
“Some of the most inspiring teaching on worship I’ve ever heard has come from the mouth of Louie Giglio. Having read The Air I Breathe I can now say the same of Louie’s gift to communicate through the written word. This book has inspired me as a worshiper, and as a worship leader.”
—Matt Redman, Author of The Unquenchable Worshipper and The Heart of Worship
“Don’t read The Air I Breathe unless you want to reexamine your life to see whom or what you are truly worshiping on a daily basis. Louie spells it out in plain language: Learning the real meaning of worship is the most essential element in the spiritual journey of the Christian. In the end, our worship is more about what we do than what we say.”
—Billy Ray Hearn, Founder, Sparrow Records
“Louie Giglio explores what God desires most in our worship with clarity and insight. Upon reading The Air I Breathe, you’ll be both challenged and liberated to discover that true worship inescapably involves who you are—all the time.”
—Dr. Charles F. Stanley, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia
“Louie Giglio communicates Christian truth in a wonderfully accessible and relevant way. The Air I Breathe is packed full of gems that inspire and encourage. He says everything I would want to say about worship—only he says it much, much better. This is a prophetic and timely book.”
—Mike Pilvachi, Pastor, Soul Survivor Church, Watford, United Kingdom
“This book is a challenging reminder that our worship is for God and not for ourselves.”
—Bill Hearn, President and CEO, EMI Christian Music Group

Passion Movement Founder Inspires Readers to Worship God as Naturally as They Breathe
“Some of the most inspiring teaching on worship I’ve ever heard has come from the mouth of Louie Giglio. Having read The Air I Breathe I can now say the same of Louie’s gift to communicate through the written word. This book has inspired me as a worshiper, and as a worship leader.” –Matt Redman, Author of The Unquenchable Worshipper and The Heart of Worship
Louie Giglio, best-selling author and founder of Passion Conferences, knows that worship has been woven into the very fabric of our beings. In his newly revised and refreshed edition of The Air I Breathe (Multnomah, Dec. 19, 2017), originally published in 2003, Giglio reminds readers that whether the object of our affection is the Creator or the created, we all worship something.
The Air I Breathe challenges readers to reexamine the things that captivate their hearts and to awaken to the reality that there is a battle for our worship every day.
“You only have one life,” writes Giglio. “And you only have one life of worship. You have one brief opportunity in time to declare your allegiance, to unleash your affection, to exalt something or someone above all else. Don’t waste your worship on some little god…”
The Air I Breathe is a passionate call to allow only God to be elevated to the highest place in our hearts—inhaling all of his wonder and exhaling genuine adoration with our words and actions.
The new edition now includes a selection from Giglio’s most recent release with Multnomah, I Am Not But I Know I Am.
