Publisher's Summary:

The unending carousel of worship style, culture, and preference issues will never be solved by simply adjusting the forms themselves. While worship details are not insignificant issues, they are not the heart of the matter. Honoring Jesus rightly and loving each other will require more than just asking the questions of elements and environment. What if, in the end, our worship isn't too contemporary, too modern, too traditional, too fast, too slow, too loud, or too quiet? What if, at the end of the day, our worship is simply too small?

Come, take the journey toward a bigger worship. A worship more worthy of God almighty, a worship more fully satisfying for your soul, a worship that keeps us on mission together in the gospel.

A New Classic

Wayne does a fantastic job of distinguishing the difference between gathered (corporate) and scattered (personal/all-of-life) worship, but goes one step further and articulates how gathered and scattered worship interact and actually fuel each other. He doesnât stop there though. He actually goes on to explain and give examples of what all-of-life worship looks like, as well as addresses tough questions like who gets to decide how we do things in our gathered time?

This book also isnât written primarily for those in music leadership, but for all believers. His engaging, conversational writing style makes it easy to understand, yet focuses on the heart matters of worship.

I think Bigger could become a âclassicâ read for worship. Make sure to put it at the top of your worship reading list!

Time to Upgrade our Worship Conversations

Bigger by Wayne Stewart is a wonderful book calling us out on the smallness of our worship conversations. I'm thinking about handing it out to every worship consumer who attends our church. Of course, I could also be proactive and get this into their hands before "service" turns into "serve us." Surely God has something more, something bigger for us to consider as we seek to give Him the glory due His name. Kevin J.

Stewart has some bright perceptions and insightful moments, but the work suffers from the confusion of calling many different things the same thing... worship, worship, worship and worship... and trips into the difficulty of being muddy and hard-to-differentiate.

I did appreciate the work done here, it helps to steer other writers to the task at hand in 'going bigger'. A stepping-stone work in a large lake of modern mud.

An insightful and practical exploration of God's call to a life of worship

Worship is so central to the message of the Bible, yet if you ask 20 different people what worship is, you will probably get 20 different answers. Wayne does a great job in creating a Biblically-informed definition of worship that is simple and repeatable. He takes us to the 30,000 foot view of the grander, "Bigger" vision of the call to worship. But he doesn't just leave us there. The second part of the book brings us back down to the ground and teaches us how to apply this Bigger vision of worship in our everyday lives - as we gather together on a weekly basis, and as we scatter and live out the rest of our lives.
