Book Details

A revolution is underway as church leaders across North America adopt and adapt contemporary worship styles into church life. However, these individuals often lack the theological, cultural, and leadership training necessary to fully guide the body of Christ into meaningful worship encounters with God. One-stop learning is now available in this collection of resources from some of the leaders in Christian worship. The chapters offer an inter-disciplinary approach for worship leaders, pastors, musicians, and all those involved in worship planning. The experiences and diversity of worship reflected here cross denominational, cultural, and generational barriers, making this volume an essential tool for anyone interested in worship.
