<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The bestselling author of <i>Christ-Centered Preaching</i> provides a useful and accessible resource that traces the history of Christian worship and calls contemporary congregations to gospel faithfulness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The church's worship has always been shaped by its understanding of the gospel. Here the bestselling author of <i>Christ-Centered Preaching</i> brings biblical and historical perspective to discussions about worship, demonstrating that the gospel has shaped key worship traditions and should shape today's worship as well.<br/><br/>This accessible and engaging book provides the church with a Christ-centered understanding of worship to help it transcend the traditional/contemporary worship debate and unite in ministry and mission priorities. Contemporary believers will learn how to shape their worship based on Christ's ministry to and through them. The book's insights and practical resources for worship planning will be useful to pastors, worship leaders, worship planning committees, missionaries, and worship and ministry students.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"<i>Christ-Centered Worship</i> calls people to go beyond 'contemporary worship' without being polemical in spirit. It takes historic worship traditions very seriously but uses the gospel itself as the way to critique and design orders of worship. It is full, balanced, and extremely practical. This will now be the first book I give people--or turn to myself--on the practice of understanding, planning, and leading in corporate worship."<br/>--<b>Tim Keller</b>, senior pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church; author of <i>The Reason for God<br/></i><br/>"[This] book rich in theory and application provides a top resource for worship leaders, directors, pastors, or anyone involved in planning corporate worship. It connects us to worship history and helps us think more clearly about what exactly we communicate in the context of worship. Chapell gives us a template and vocabulary for thinking about, planning, and evaluating our worship."<br/>--<b>Andrea Hunter</b>, <i>Worship Leader<br/></i><br/>"So many books about worship unfortunately assume that the structure or pattern of worship is not important, failing to realize that some pattern is inevitable and that no pattern is neutral. This book is a wonderful exception. It radiates with gratitude for the gospel of Jesus. It promotes both confessional orthodoxy and vital piety. But it also probes how well-grounded patterns and structures can become wellsprings for faithful, sustainable, and vibrant worship renewal."<br/>--<b>John D. Witvliet</b>, director, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary<br/><br/>"Chapell's superb book <i>Christ-Centered Preaching</i> has become one of the standard texts on preaching in evangelical seminaries. Church leaders now can welcome a parallel volume. . . . Chapell has pressed the church to re-think its approach to worship and reminded us that worship is not about us and our preferences--it is about Christ and His glory."<br/>--<b>Michael Duduit</b>, <i>Preaching<br/><br/></i>"Truly exceptional. . . . Alongside his brief survey of the history of liturgy, accompanied by some magnificent charts, Chapell provides worship resources for those who want to dip Sunday services more into the liturgical practices of the Church."<br/>--<b>Scot McKnight</b>, <i>Jesus Creed</i> blog<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Bryan Chapell</b> (PhD, Southern Illinois University) is senior pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church in Peoria, Illinois, as well as president emeritus at Covenant Theological Seminary and distinguished professor of preaching at Knox Theological Seminary. He is a widely traveled speaker and the author of numerous books, including <i>Christ-Centered Preaching</i> and <i>Christ-Centered Sermons</i>.
