![]() One rarely finds these qualities combined with such balance. I have been moved especially by their music CDs, which combine solid biblical doctrine, music skillfully played and sung, and a great passion for Christ. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky “For some years Sovereign Grace Ministries has blessed the church with music that greatly enhances worship. In a day of such confusion about worship, I welcome this important book.” -R. Bob Kauflin is driven by a passion for God’s glory, and his reflections on music and worship are grounded in biblical truth and keen theological insight. In Worship Matters he offers profound and powerful observations about the task of leading God’s people in worship-observations missing from much of the conversation about worship today. Bob Kauflin is a man whose passion for true worship is both infectious and instructive. This book helps musicians, pastors, elders, and other Christians understand better what we’re called to do when we’re together.” -Mark Dever, Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church head of 9Marks Ministries “God is seeking those who worship him in spirit and in truth. Clearly structured, well illustrated, engagingly written, biblically saturated, theologically careful, this book gives us a rich treatise on how we can follow Christ ourselves and call others to do the same. What a refreshing read! I’ve gained from Bob Kauflin, and if you read this, you will too. I am your debtor once again.” -Ligon Duncan, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi President, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals Adjunct Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary “Humility.

I love the wisdom-the Christ-exalting, gospel-derived wisdom- displayed in the challenge Bob asks us to consider, the important things he calls us to, the tasks he reminds us of, the tensions that he bids us hold, and the right relationships he exhorts us to embrace. The things that Bob addresses here transcend style and situation and point us to enduring and universal Christian priorities. Whether you are a choir director or minister of music in a congregation with a more traditional form of public worship or a worship team leader in a church with a more contemporary style or a pastor trying to think hard (and biblically) about congregational worship or a Christian wanting to make sure you understand the privilege of ‘giving to the Lord the glory due his name in the company of the saints’ in a way that helpfully prepares you to do just that, this book will be a blessing to you (as it already has been to me). The more I have listened to and read him on the subject of the corporate worship of our gracious God, the more I have been edified, instructed, humbled, and helped. The more I have gotten to know him, the more I have respected and appreciated him. “The moment I met Bob Kauflin I liked him (a lot!). Mfbejoh!Puifst!up! Fodpvoufs!uif!Hsfbuoftt!pg!Hpe
