The book explores the four major developments that comprise what he calls the worship awakening: the seeker service movement, the praise and worship movement, the Christian worship music industry, and the liturgical renewal movement. Redman explains that these trends offer important examples and lessons for established churches. The Great Worship Awakening also includes helpful guidance for congregations who are considering making changes to their current worship style. |
