""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."" --Ron Man, Missionary in Residence, First Evangelical Church, Memphis, Tennessee ""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."" --JinSoo Ga, Professor of Worship, World Mission University, Los Angeles, California ""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."" --Jeremy Perigo, Professor of Theology and Worship Arts, Dordt University, Sioux Center, Iowa
