Summary: strong emphasis on "revelation"
Review: The author, Matt Redman, is a pioneer and respected leader in the praise and worship movement. His call is important: transcend human emotions and allow the power of God to flow through you. Redman places strong emphasis on "revelation" during the praise and worship service. I always recommend • THE PRAYER OF HANNAH • by Kenn Gividen

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent book on true worship
Review: The heart of world's best new worship leader is evident in "The Unquenchable Worshipper." This book allows you to see the man behind the music and my respect for Matt Redman has grown. Before I only knew of Redman as a great songwriter. Now I see him as a great worshipper who writes worship songs. The only problem is the short length of the book. Matt definitely leaves you wanting more!!

Summary: The Only One Worthy of Worship
Review: This book will help any Christian to put the act of worship into a healthy perspective. So many times we lose focus in our worship experiences. Sometimes we foucus on our selves or others. We may see worship as a performance or entertainment. But worship is so much more than any of that.
Matt Redman helps remind us to put the focus of our worship on the one worthy recipient... God himself!
I loved this book and found it very practical for use as a worship leader and a lover of Jesus Christ my savior!
If you want to worship God in a dynamic way and get closer to God this book can help!

Summary: Great look at the areas of Worship
Review: This is a phenominal book for worship leaders, or anyone who wants a closer worship relationship with God. There are so many areas that touched my heart and drew me closer to our Lord. I enjoy reading, but sometimes I will take a break from a book, and never pick it back up again. This was not one of those cases. I finished it in one setting. It is a short book, and would be appropriate for teens all the way up to the most seasoned Christian.
I hope you enjoy it.

Summary: A wonderful little book
Review: This is a wonderful little book (only 126 small pages) that packs a punch beyond its size. Redman does not seek to give practical advice on leading worship ("If you are looking for tips on song selection, chord sequences or selecting and training a band, you will be disappointed," p. 13). Rather, he attempts to set out a whole philosophy of worship ministry, geared toward worship leaders--or, as he would say, "lead worshippers."

Clearly, Redman has thought about worship a great deal. He is familiar with the most important Scriptures that deal with his topic, and has interesting insights into many of them. Some of these insights are based on the meanings of Greek and Hebrew words, which he gets correct every time. He also sprinkles in some pithy quotes from well known authors like C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton and Dietrich Bonhoeffer that address the subject at hand. The book is well-written and interesting to read.

Some of the best material deals with a worship leader's temptations of pride and losing one's spiritual edge. He is open about his own failures, and yet shows again and again how God brought him back to a place of humble dependence on Him. Good stuff.

The only theological concern that I had involved Redman's use of the word "revelation" (see in particular pages 25-27). He talks about how God reveals Himself in nature and in the history of His people and in the cross and in fellowship with others. He also includes God's Word in this, but I would have liked for him to emphasize it above the others. The way it is written now, it almost sounds like God's Word is one of any number of places where we can receive revelation about God, rather than the primary place with the others supplementing.

He definitely holds that prophecy is for today. He speaks of receiving "pictures" from God about different things. I was not particularly troubled by this, but someone without a solid biblical background could go to town on such revelations while ignoring God's Word. I would stress to the worship leaders who read this that we must submit all subjective revelations we think we receive to the objective Revelation of God's Word, not the other way around.

With that said, this is a wonderful little book that should be read by everyone who leads worship. It promises to produce much good fruit.

Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Read the Bible, then read "The Unquenchable Worshipper."
