But change always brings uncertainty -- at times even division -- about what constitutes -authentic worship.- This important book reviews a wide variety of current perspectives and offers a fresh outlook on the contemporary practice of Christian worship.\u003cbr\u003e In order to provide the widest, most insightful discussion on present-day worship practices yet assembled, the authors gathered a team of church musicians, ministers, worship leaders, and educators from eight church traditions. \u003cem\u003eDiscerning the Spirits\u003c\/em\u003e is the fruit of their work. Shaped by the wisdom of men and women like Marva Dawn, Justo Gonzalez, C. Michael Hawn, and John Witvliet, this book broadens today's -worship wars- into a bigger, richer discussion that moves from arguments over musical tastes to good thinking about the overall purpose of worship in relation to church life and God himself. Sidebar articles and quotes are meant to draw readers and study groups into dialogue on these issues.\u003cbr\u003e Whether one plays a leadership role in church worship or is simply grappling with questions about it, \u003cem\u003eDiscerning the Spirits\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornelius Plantinga, Sue A.
