This book is a VERY thorough exploration of many aspects of worship. It gives the history of practices, as well as a contemporary exploration of the meaning and purpose of those practices. It is a bit dry at times, but if you need intense research on worship, this is the book to use.
informative inspiring

Christian worship is traced back to early roots---high church is somewhat contrasted with low church---(liturgical/non-liturgical). It gives the reader appreciation for many of the symbolic rituals used in high church.
