It's Not About the Music

a journey into worship

How should I worship God? This question has been debated vigorously since the beginning of Christ's church, and is the source of bitter disputes past and present. We live in a Christian age where music performance is the focal point and given the lion's share of time, energy and praise at most worship services and religious gatherings. But what if we are missing the point entirely? What if music is not the main thing about worship? In this book, Dan Lucarini, a former contemporary worship leader, examines the subject of worship from a biblical perspective. The subject of worship is at the same time both intensely personal and exceedingly public. These days, hardly anything is as sensitive as a discussion on how one thinks we should worship God. In this new book, a sequel to Dan Lucarini's first title 'Why I Left the Contemporary Christian Music Movement', the author takes a close look at what God Himself asked us to do for Him when we worship. If you are interested to learn more about worshipping God beyond the music; if you're a refugee from the worship wars; or if you're simply curious why someone would do such an about-face from the 'accepted norm of modern worship'; please join the author on a journey into worship. And discover why 'it's not about the music'! - Publisher.
