It’s a book of compiled worship quotes, I was encouraged by it. I would buy it again just to have as a reference.

[Adam Watkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of quality quotes about worship. Worshipful, practical, and actually quite edifying.

[Ethan Powers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was positively unique as it exposed me to a large variety of quotations on worship and allowed me to read the thoughts of others faithful believers throughout history. John Witvliet masterfully compiled these quotes that were so precious to “Chip” Stam and gifted the church with his final product.

Read most of the book as assigned reading for The Worshiping Church class at SBTS. Some quotes are great and helpful, others not as much. Decent book, particularly if you’re helping with worship music at your church.

[Pig Rieke · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a great book if you are looking for a book of quotes about Christian worship. Without exaggeration or reduction, that is exactly what this book is: a list of quotes about Christian worship arranged by topics of worship.

If you are looking for a conventional book, you will be disappointed by this work. It isn’t for reading straight through, making arguments, or building systematic understandings, it is simply a book of quotes.
