Engle's handbook on Christian congregational worship, like his handbook on wedding services, is a useful, eclectic tool. Various denominational, and non-denominational styles are covered.

However, the variety covered here, considering the briefness of the volume, decreases it's usefulness. Where a collection of styles is quite usefull in a wedding handbook, due to the increase in inter- and non-denominational marriages, in a worship handbook, it simply makes the material covered seem watered down.

I recommend that one either look for a book within one's tradition, or find a volume that surveys aspects of congregational worship in more depth. For those who lean toward, or are interested in the Reformed tradition, I highly recommend books by Hughes Oliphant Old, especially his book, Leading in Prayer. That book greatly changed the way I saw the entire worship service.

good info for wedding ministers.

Much Peace.
