Publisher's Description
The second edition of Worship Quest: An Exploration of Worship Leadership guides readers on a journey through the importance of understanding worship and its leadership. With fresh insights and expanded content, Steven D. Brooks equips worship leadership and congregations with the theological depth and practical wisdom needed to engage in thoughtful, God-centered worship. This updated edition deepens the exploration of worship as a holistic, formative experience--one that engages the entire church in a journey of spiritual growth. It also clarifies the crucial distinction between congregational worship and concert-style performances, emphasizing that worship is not about entertainment but about leading God's people toward a sincere, heartfelt response. Readers will gain a renewed understanding of the roles of worship leadership--not just as musicians, but as theologians, pastors, and guides who cultivate a space for meaningful, participatory worship. Readers who embark on Worship Quest will discover the profound impact of faithful worship leadership.

“As a seasoned worship pastor and worship teacher, Steven Brooks is well equipped to be a guide through many aspects of our ‘quest’ for God-honoring, Christ-exalting, and believer-edifying worship: biblical, theological, and practical. This second edition is brought up to date all the way to the unique challenges of worship during a global pandemic (Appendix 11, Livestreamed Worship), and is enriched by Brooks’s own growth through an ever-expanding international ministry of worship training.”
“This book is the ultimate introduction to worship, balancing the biblical foundations and essence of worship with practical insights into the worship experience. It is essential reading for seminary students, pastors, worship leaders, and all worshipers. In a time when many churches seem to have lost focus in their worship, this book will guide us to focus more clearly on God. I strongly recommend this book to you, as it will help you to know God better and worship him more deeply.”
“In this new edition, Brooks has gifted us a biblically robust and practical resource addressing not only the how and why of worship but also the who of worship. Worship Quest is one of the most expansive worship books covering theological, vocational, and worship service leadership issues essential to worship leaders and pastors. This is a foundational text that you will keep coming back to.”
