Overview

Now in paper!

"There is a distinct weariness with market-driven, showbiz worship. The pendulum has swung to the longing for transcendence, substance, challenge, and biblically driven worship. Michael Horton shows us the way." --Robert Webber, president, Institute for Worship Studies; author of Ancient-Future Faith

"Horton's enlivening wisdom is surely a godsend to all evangelicals." --J. I. Packer, Regent College
