This 3rd volume in this excellent series on Worship has an awful lot of material packed into it. I found it a fascinating look at the ways many different denomination worshipped - and whilst this is naturally very American in its approach, I still found it quite informative. Once again this does have an encyclopedia style to it and as such there is a bit of repetition in this volume - but it would only really be noticed if you do, as I did, and read it cover-to-cover. This volume has a wealth of articles looking at how and why worship is done, aiming to supply resources for Worship renewal. I believe it is a very worthwhile practice to see how and why other do these things - this does not mean that we have to change things - often we get, not only a better understanding about the worship in fellow denominations, but a better understanding why we do things we do. Well worth a read for all Christians - though especially for those involved in Worship leading / organising.
