About the Book

What others have said about this book: Many of us participate in worship without really asking ourselves why or how we do it. Where does it come from? Is it biblical? Are we simply following a trend? In this outstanding and unique book, David Porter, a musician and theologian, offers valuable insights that encourage us to approach our worship practices with intentionality. I highly recommend this in-depth work to all pastors, church leaders, worship leaders, musicians, and singers. -Rolf Schneider, Singer-Songwriter, YWAM Switzerland David Porter reconnects Christian worship with the Lord as revealed in the Bible. He thoughtfully reexamines the balance between the elements of Christian worship and the roles of its various participants. To accomplish this, the author shares the wisdom gleaned from his observations and research across various continents. There is no doubt this book will enrich, inspire, and rejuvenate the practical expression of worship in 21st-century churches. -Claude Baecher, Pastor, Author, and Theology Professor, Alsace, France Discussions about worship, songs and music, sometimes producing more heat than light, have become a feature of recent decades in many parts of the world. Like a room full of people caught in a blackout trying to find the light switch, collisions can take place. David's book helps us switch the light on, to discover what is in the room. Drawing upon decades of experience and study, this book is a tour of the worship room - in fact several of the worship rooms - that are inhabited today. -Graham Kendrick, Singer-Songwriter, Kent, England What if everything you thought about worship was only a fraction of the bigger picture? Is worship just about music? Is it for us or for God? Why do we do what we do in our church services-and does it truly align with God's vision for worship? This book invites you on a transformative journey to rediscover worship as a divine encounter initiated by God Himself. It challenges the consumer-driven mindset that often dominates modern worship, where personal preferences, musical styles, and performance take centre stage. Instead, it explores worship as a dialogue with God, rooted in Scripture, shaped by His presence, and designed to form us into His people. Drawing from biblical patterns, this book unpacks the revelation-response model of worship, emphasizing that God speaks first-and our role is to respond. It asks critical questions: Does our worship reflect the fullness of God's story, or are key theological truths missing from our songs and services? Have we lost sight of the communal and intergenerational nature of worship? How do we evaluate our worship? Through engaging discussions on congregational participation, unity in diversity, intergenerational engagement, and creative expression, this book equips both worship leaders and church members to rethink how we approach worship. It will inspire, challenge, and equip you to embrace worship that is Christ-centered, Spirit-led, and deeply transformative.
