Description: A how to book on corporate worship for the 21st century; how to be authentic and contemporary without being glitzy or faddish. "What is at stake is authenticity ... Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed.
