Claudette Malcolm
She Didn't Set Out to Write a Book. She Set Out to Worship.
Claudette Malcolm is a New York–based Christian poet and the author of A Worshippers Collection: Poems of Praise. By day, she’s spent over two decades as an executive assistant at JPMorgan Chase, a career that speaks to her discipline, her faithfulness, and her steadiness. But those who know Claudette best know her by something deeper: her worship life.
Her debut collection, published in December 2022 through Living Waters Global Publishing, was written to solve a problem every believer has faced, running out of words to praise God. Claudette’s poems fill that silence. They are Spirit-inspired, Scripture-rooted, and written for anyone who has ever stood before God and felt like they simply didn’t know what to say.
"Praise begins where words fall short and the heart turns fully toward God".
THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION
When the Poems Started Coming, She Knew They Weren't Just for Her
Every poem in A Worshippers Collection came from a real place, a real moment, a real encounter with God, a real season of praise or seeking or surrender. Claudette didn’t sit down one day and decide to write a poetry book. The book grew out of a worship life she had been quietly cultivating for years.
What she noticed, over time, was that other believers around her were struggling. Not with faith, but with the words. People who loved God deeply but felt like their praise had become a loop of the same phrases. New believers who wanted to worship but didn’t know where to begin. Seasoned saints who had somehow lost the freshness of their first praise.
Claudette began to see her poems differently. They weren’t just her private conversation with God. They were a bridge, a way to give other worshippers a language they hadn’t found on their own yet.
That’s when A Worshippers Collection became more than poetry. It became ministry.
She shared the book at signing events, reading poems aloud and telling the stories behind them. She recorded the audiobook herself, in her own voice, because she wanted listeners to feel the intimacy of the words the way she had felt them when they were given to her. The response confirmed what she had believed all along: God inhabits the praises of His people, and every believer, at every stage of their journey, has praise worth giving.
