The Wonder of Worship: Why We Worship the Way We Do 5 5 1 1

Drury has done an excellent job of tracing the many aspects of worship throughout Church History and has given each of us cause to pause and think about the various elements of our church services. Many questions are answered regarding such things as music, communion, baptism, Sunday services, Christmas and Easter. With each chapter, he concludes with some excellent thought provoking questions. Having pastored for several years, served as a missionary and educator, I recommend this book for pastors and worship leaders who are faced with the multitude of questions regarding why we worship the way we do.
