"I really enjoyed learning from all of the different voices who contributed to this book. Every chapter is a helpful mix of both passion and understanding, which will not only sharpen your thinking on worship, but stir up your heart too. What I liked most was the micro and macro approach - where the writers give us the big picture, and then help us think through how that all works out in the details of our everyday lives, and in our gathered worship services. Great book!" -- Matt Redman, worship leader and songwriter
"Why Worship is an invaluable and timely resource compiled by two of the most thoughtful and experienced worship leaders in the world. This is a book for everyone; for church leaders, for worship leaders, and for anyone who ever wanted to discover the primary purpose of their lives!" -- Pete Greig, 24-7 Prayer International and Emmaus Rd churches.
"This is one of the most exciting, insightful and enlightening books I’ve read on worship in a while. The anecdotes and exposition shared paint a picture for me that’ll help anyone reading see things not just from Gods Perspective, but other people’s too. This has never been so important as the hidden fault lines in our relationships in the church have become clear for the world to see. this book challenged me to ask myself the question what the point was in having a great "glorious" time with God if it didn’t affect how I lived. Prepare for a reboot of your understanding." -- Muyiwa Olarewaju OBE, worship leader and broadcaster
"What a wonderful book! Full of insight and inspiration, Why Worship is also catalyst for transformation. This diverse collection of contributions from significant voices will undoubtedly stimulate our thinking but, most of all, they lead us humbly again into the presence of a holy but loving Heavenly Father." -- Cathy Madavan, Speaker, writer and broadcaster
"My favourite thing about this book is the different perspectives on one main thing... Worship! Reading it provided much clarity on a word that is often misunderstood." -- Guvna B, Rapper, Author & Broadcaster
"Engaging, biblical & inspiring. This wonderful book will help us all to understand and express our worship more fully." -- Gavin Calver, CEO Evangelical Alliance
"As I started reading this glorious book, I could feel my heart alive with hope, as we as Gods people fight for clarity in an increasingly messy world. THANKYOU to Tim and Nick and all who have shared their legacy stories of truthful worth ship... for as we continue to dive deep into this realm, as the spirit of God asks us to Come Up Here... together we will continue to witness the rise and rise of Gods glory. To the praise of His most Holy name." -- Darlene Zschech, worship leader and singer-songwriter
