"I wish every church had this book years ago! Most churches desire better worship but lack the knowledge and expertise to create a culture that produces a spiritual, excellent, corporate, and creative worship experience. Through personal stories and life experience, Jeff unpacks how to create this culture in a very practical way."
—Jonathan Stockstill Lead Pastor, Bethany Church
