This is the handbook that should accompany every Christian community on its worshiping witnessing journey."<BR /><BR /><B>Stephen B. Bevans SVD</B><BR /> — Catholic Theological Union<BR /> "A wonderful faith-filled meditation on the missional heart of worship. . . . A new classic in liturgical studies and in missiology as well."<BR /><BR /><B>Todd E. Johnson</B><BR /> — Brehm Center Fuller Theological Seminary<BR /> "Ruth Meyers's approach to the issues surrounding worship and mission is spot-on. Instead of approaching worship from a missional slant or mission from a liturgical perspective she takes both topics back to their biblical and historical roots — the nature of the church. . . . In practical and insightful ways Meyers demonstrates how a church's ministry in the world and its regular offering of worship reinforce one another. Her careful direct evenhanded approach is a breath of fresh air to much of the current theological discourse."<BR /><BR /><B>Taylor W. Burton-Edwards</B><BR /> — Worship Resources Discipleship Ministries of The United Methodist Church<BR /> "Seminarians pastors deacons and worship leaders seeking to understand articulate or imagine how the basic and most enduring structures of Christian worship `engage worshipers in the mission of God' will discover in these pages both Meyers's wise and challenging counsel and many wonderful companions for the journey."<BR /><BR /><B><I>International Bulletin of Missionary Research</I></B><BR /> "A helpful and timely new resource. . . . In Missional Worship Meyers does excellent work developing the notion that mission and worship are inseparably and integrally related."<BR /><BR /><B><I>Anglican and Episcopal History</I></B><BR /> "A very useful and insightful text particularly for those just beginning to explore the field of liturgical studies. The book is a remarkable synthesis of most of the best insights liturgical scholars and missiologists have gained regarding the relationship between mission and liturgy over the last decades."<BR /><BR /><B><I>Church Times</I></B><BR /> "[Myers] deserves to be read because we need to hear this message in all parts of the Church of England today."</DIV>
