“Rarely have I identified with an author in his perception and experience of worship as I have in this present volume. The reader will never be quite the same again after perusing these pages. He may not agree with everything, but he will have to acknowledge that 'man's chief end is to glorify God' and to 'worship Him in the beauty of holiness. ”

—Dr. Stephen F. Olford (1918-2004), founder, The Stephen Olford Center at Union University

“For long enough this matter of Christian worship has been begging for restudy and restatement, and an answer to that is just what we have in this new book from the mind and heart of one who is eminently fitted to talk to us about it. It has blessed my own heart. May it have wide acceptance and deep impact. ”

—J. Sidlow Baxter (1903-1999), author, Explore the Book

“In worship we declare what is really valuable to us, says Dr. Wiersbe. Convinced he is right, my mind devoured this book. Often in the reading of these pages I forgot this was a book about worship and became lost in the very act of worship. Wiersbe wakes us to the wonder of God. A solid and scholarly challenge threads substance throughout the piece. ”

—Calvin Miller, Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministry, Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School

“Warren Wiersbe has written or edited over 200 books. I have them all. Why? He's so balanced and biblical. While I'm blessed to have him as a treasured friend and hero, he doesn't want to be on the phone with me everyday. But I can read his works any day that I want. His BE series should be in everyone's library. It will keep you from chasing tangents in the Scriptures. His books on preaching, ministry, and a host of other subjects will encourage you. ”

—Michael Catt, Pastor Sherwood Baptist Church, www.michaelcatt.com

With 50,000 copies sold, the first edition of Real Worship helped many pastors and worship leaders make biblical sense in the controversy surrounding worship and worship styles. This second edition contains new chapters on taking worship seriously, planning balanced worship, and tradition in worship. A question-and-answer section, a bibliography, and a Scripture index have also been added.

While many books deal with how to worship, they fail to give a definition of true worship. Warren Wiersbe defines what worship is and the four elements it involves: wonder, witness, warfare, and wisdom. As he discusses such controversial issues as art, liturgy, worship styles, and music, Wiersbe keeps the focus on God and demonstrates the balance of worship for which every church should strive.

Real Worship is both Biblically based and autobiographical, containing personal testimony, anecdotes, and illustrations from Wiersbe's pastoral experience.
