Description: Combining biblical foundations with practical application in a way that works in the real world, pastor and professional songwriter Bob Kauflin skillfully instructs pastors, musicians, and church leaders in the essentials of God-honoring worship so that they can root their congregational worship in unchanging scriptural principles, not divisive cultural trends. He covers a variety of topics such as the devastating effects of worshiping the wrong things, how to base our worship on God's self-revelation rather than our assumptions, the fuel of worship, the community of worship, and the ways that eternity's worship should affect our earthly worship.
