Product Description
The ongoing church worship revolution-leading to both renewal and conflict-has called for a new edition of Barry Liesch's The New Worship, first published by Baker in 1996. The author has made major revisions to several chapters and has also added a new appendix. The New Worship, expanded edition, is a practical book that gives workable suggestions for worship; presents contemporary trends; gives advice for handling conflict over music; answers hard questions; and offers stimulating ideas for services. It helps pastors, worship leaders, and musicians navigate changes, resolve conflicts, and use a blend of both traditional and nontraditional music in praise formats.

great book for worship leaders December 3, 2007
I definitely recommend this book to worship leaders and pastors. It's a smooth read, interesting, and very useful. It's not very expensive and the author himself is very qualified and has a great humble heart. I think this book could help a lot of churches with some problems they face weekly between worship leaders, pastors, and their congregations. Read it.
A real treasure of information July 29, 2006
This book is a real treasure trove of information. Great insight on many different styles of worship without any favoritism towards any one style. I recommend this book to anyone whose plans, or assists in planning worship.
The Expanded Version is 40% better August 15, 2001
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is the author, Barry Liesch, writing. Just a note on the changes in the expanded edition. Chapters 1, 2, 6, 10, and 11 are new or virtually new. All the other chapters (16 in all) are enhanced too. This version is much stronger, both theologically and practically. It has a greater appeal to college-age worship leaders. It's more incisive. It also links up with the web site I've partnered, offering many supplemental materials with ongoing updates--see worshipinfo.com. Baker Books has done an exemplary job with the layout--lots of diagrams, tables, illustrative drawings for the eye. In short, I'm pleased with the result and hope you will be too.
 Great Balance May 14, 2000
8 out of 11 found this review helpful
Barry has now written 2 good books on worship. The heart he has for worship, and his attempt not to alienate anyone truly seeking God are outstanding. It is a shame he has to bend over backwards to keep some from getting upset, but he is willing to do it for God's sake and he is good at it.There are many practical helps here as well as a good basis for trying new forms and methods. I find his style honest and inviting. I can also personally testify to many of the recommendations given on contemporary, flowing worship styles. Get this book and have fun exploring God's greatness is worship!
Easy to Read and Practical May 11, 2000
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is timely. Carifying of my own opinions and experience while offering new insights and practical application. Obviously established on experience and observation as well as Biblical principles (I also read the author's other book, People in the Presence of God, for more theological background). An insightful resource, easy to read and understand.
