CATCH THE NEW WAVE OF WORSHIP, RELEVANCE, AND REVIVAL

“The Great Worship Awakening is a periscopic view of worship. It is a ‘must-read’ for every church leader who desires to lead the way into the future.”
—Buddy Owens, Maranatha! Publishing, general editor, NIV Worship Bible

“The intelligent leader’s guide to the morphing worship landscape. Refreshingly balanced but passionate, The Great Worship Awakening is worship’s All Things Considered.”
—Sally Morgenthaler, author, Worship Evangelism

“Robb Redman is a scholar, a pastor, but most of all a person who worships God with heart, hands and voice. Redman’s gift to us is this fantastic book. Those who worship God do so in Spirit and truth. The Great Worship Awakening invites us to worship in any number of ways.”
—Randy Rowland, pastor, Church at the Center, Seattle, Washington; author, Get a Life! and The Sins We Love

“Robb Redman is my most reliable guide on what is going on in the worship awakening. He understands how new worship expressions are shaped by youth culture, the charismatic approach, the Church Growth movement, and much more. His use of solid historical and theological resources is surprising and delightful. I’ve been looking forward to this book for several years, and I’m glad he’s finally done it.”
—Hughes Oliphant Old, author, Worship That is Reformed According to Scripture; visiting instructor in worship, Princeton Theological Seminary

“Redman ably identifies the challenges today’s churches face in developing worship that has both theological integrity and cultural authenticity. His theological analysis and practical advice show wisdom and balance. This book will be especially appreciated in denominations with strong historical worship traditions by pastors and worship leaders who want help sorting out the positive contributions of the contemporary worship renewal movement from which they might draw.”
—Phil Butin, president, San Francisco Theological Seminary

"With all the various strains, tensions, and changes in Protestant worship today, it is easy to get lost. Robb Redman provides a useful map to negotiate current trends in worship. Confused? Overwhelmed? Redman's assessment of the influences on worship today-their background, importance, and Achilles' heels-and his understanding of the different contexts for Protestant worship provide guidance in a tumultuous, exciting time."
— Lester Ruth, assistant professor of worship and liturgy, Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky

"Robb Redman provides a most helpful perspective on postmodern worship.
Regardless of the perspective of the reader, all will benefit from the
author's balanced critique of each perspective and recommendations for
local congregations."
— C. Michael Hawn, professor of church music, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas

"Robb Redman has located the key concerns that underlie the worship
anxieties I encounter in my work as a pastor and worship consultant. As
Christians we are called to be "in the world, but not of the world!" So
away with all these concessions to pop culture! Redman does established
church culture a great favor by bringing it into dialogue with the
contemporary world and at the same time providing a very helpful
vocabulary for the discussion."
— Lyell Heise, pastor, Avondale College Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Cooranbong NSW, Australia
