A History of Contemporary Praise & Worship

History & Biography

“I have had the wonderful privilege of personally experiencing and participating in the birth of Contemporary Praise & Worship. My heart wept as I read Ruth and Lim’s masterful and comprehensive capture of our worship ‘heritage.’ But, as precious as our heritage is, this book is much more than a historical narration of praise and worship. The authors identify significant principles and pitfalls of contemporary worship expression. This book overflows with the richness of our intimate relationship with God through times, seasons, and different emphases of an encounter with God. This book needs to be in every church leader’s library and is a must-read for everyone who desires to be grounded in our heritage of praise and worship!”
