Lovely book about worship!

“Too many times worship leaders appear to be praying their prayer aloud while the community listens in, rather than praying the community’s prayer aloud on its behalf; but ‘public prayer is not private prayer said publicly.’”

great book that explains history of worship

Well worth your time with you looking to study about Christian worship sound involved in different perspective on church history and modern and it allow you to question your thing but also find it very traditional and insightful as well

Wow. Such a helpful orientation to liturgics and the practical end of leading worship for the church. Cherry uses the metaphor of "rooms" to conceptualize worship movements, which runs through theological and practical considerations. As a general framework for introducing leaders to christian worship theoloigcally, this will be my new go-to. I will have to look somewhere else for more historical detail, but that's okay. You can't win them all.
