Living Worship: A Multimedia Resource for Students and Leaders

This unique multimedia resource covers all aspects of planning, leading, and evaluating a congregational worship experience. The package contains two discs--a DVD of interviews with more than a dozen worship experts and a DVD-ROM covering the worship services of an actual church. The DVD offers an overview of worship and answers basic questions about theory and practice. The contributors--including Robert Webber, Don Saliers, Don Hustad, and Jill Crainshaw--are outstanding teachers in preaching, worship, music, the arts, and pastoral rites. The DVD-ROM contains these interviews interspersed with nearly twenty hours of footage and commentary, featuring the worship life of a real congregation on the north side of Chicago. Filmed over the course of eighteen months, this footage captures a wide array of events in the church's life, including a wedding, a funeral, an Advent service, and an Easter service. These resources provide a veritable worship laboratory-in-a-box, helping viewers plan worship in their own churches.
