Real Worship: Playground, Battleground, or Holy Ground

Summary: Another great book from a well-respected author
Review: As one reads this book, one gets the sense that the writer has a broad and balanced perspective on worship, a perspective that sees beyond the immediate, with its struggles, and views worship over the long term. He describes the book as his "worship pilgrimage." Originally written in 1986, this revision adds 3 new chapters at the end. In the early chapters, he quotes many passages of scripture that are often used in discussing worship; yet even in the familiar material, the reader perceives that Wiersbe is trustworthy, has earned the right to be heard and has something fresh to bring to the topic. His language is inclusive and inviting. Having read a few "new/cutting edge" books on worship, it was refreshing to read Real Worship and be reminded that while we are in the midst of much cultural change, and while many seem to rush to catch the elusive "new" in worship, there is a steadying sense of timelessness in worship, because worship is about God, who is unchanging.

Summary: very helpful
Review: This book was very helpful to explain why I think what I do about Worship. The book backed up most of its views with scripture and was extremely applicable. During some sections it seems like it is on a tangent though.
