"Theologically astute, musically learned,
constructively provocative.” —J. Ligon Duncan III
|
| “This book will help Christians
to rethink worship—and to recover its authentic splendor.”
—R. Albert Mohler Jr. |
| “The church in every generation
needs to be reminded that true praise begins with God
and his glory, and not man and his need. Paul Jones sounds
this note loud and clear in what is a very helpful book.”
—Alistair Begg |
