"Few writers today combine the breadth of scholarship and the kind of cultural relevancy that can put a finger on the pulse of what is going on in churches across America. In this book, Robb Redman draws upon his experience as a scholar, pastor, and consultant to thousands of pastors across America. He offers a biblically grounded analysis along with practical alternatives for those who are seeking a worship awakening in their church."
— David Miller, pastor, Faith Presbyterian Church, Seminole, Flordia; author, Contemporary Worship in the Reformed Tradition

"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
