Of course not! The final text of the book has been a moving target--I believe deliberately. Now they are saying the "non-copyright sensitive" portions of the final book will be posted in July. See http://www.renewingworship.org/

Meanwhile, they are trying to STAMPEDE congregations into buying the book with those bogus "sample brochures" and that 12.5% discount for early orders.

Any congregation considering buying the book should just order one copy, and examine it both for theology and for music. Hopefully, they will then see the light and order not one more copy.

But the very best thing to do is to JOIN THE BOYCOTT NOW!!!! According to the Orthodox, even making "Father Son and Holy Spirit" optional is a very grave heresy. The Orthodox are very right!!!!

Mine just authorized transferring a couple grand from the Memorials fund to purchase LBW material, so I celebrated the 476th Anniversary of the Augsburg Confession by placing an order for 95 pew hymnals (good number, eh?) plus assorted other necessities. That will see us through the next quarter century until the pendulum swings back toward orthodoxy a/o the ELCA completely fragments.
