On Wednesday evening, September 12th, my wife and I attended a worship roundtable discussion at Judson University in Elgin, IL. Several worship leaders and students got down to the "neety greety" as Judson's Chapel Director and Worship Arts Professor, Warren Anderson, facilitated the conversation. It was great to hear of how God is working in churches around Chicago through worship ministries of many denominations. In meetings like this I always leave with a greater passion for worship ministry, greater motivation, greater knowledge, and more creative ideas to implement into my own worship practice.

Before we left, Warren asked each of us to name two of the most influential books in our lives of worship. Below is the list. Enjoy!

• Torrance, James. Worship Community and the Triune God of Grace.
• Webber, Robert. Planning Blended Worship.
• Redman, Matt. Face Down.
• Noland, Rory. The Heart of the Artist.
• Morgan, Tony, and Tim Stevens. Simply Strategic Volunteers.
• Sorge, Bob. Exploring Worship.
• Redman, Matt. The Unquenchable Worshipper.
• Tozer, A.W. The Knowledge of the Holy.
• Webber, Robert, ed. The Complete Library of Christian Worship.
• Henderson, Jim, and Matt Casper. Jim and Casper Go to Church.
• Ravenhill, Leonard. Why Revival Tarries.
