This is a good book on worship leadership... it's a good combination of practical and theological, head stuff and heart stuff. Whether you're a worship pastor at a church or one of a few volunteer worship leaders, there is a lot to learn in this book.

A lot based on experience, which isn’t bad. It just isn’t all practical. There is the practical section- which is why I bought it. It was ok. Read more like a book on mentoring. My theology is already formed in regards to this. If yours isn’t, this might be a good fit.

Deeply moving for anyone involved in leading worship. It covers a wide enough spectrum to be applicable to just about any tradition of singing worship.

Andy gives many practical insights into writing songs, leading worship, playing with a band, etc.

He also gets into some of the more spiritual and internal issues such as your motives, pride, character, being a pastor to others in your team, etc

I think this should be requisite to anyone leading worship

Very helpful for all worship leaders and aspiring worship leaders and song writers. Music is the best way to show your passion and your love for God. A very good read, very detailed and informative. There are a lot of learnings in the technical, spiritual and relational aspect of worship leading. :)

A comprehensive overview of different challenges facing worship leaders. Some helpful practical insights, but you really have to mine the book for these gold nuggets. Nonetheless, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a well-rounded perspective on worship ministry.
