Review

"The matter of worship has become all too much a careless practice on the path of least resistance, issuing in self-indulgence, entertainment, and entrepreneurial energy. This book invites a serious, practical, grounded rethink." -- Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary "The Pilgrim Press"
