Nolt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    The book gets 4 stars for me because of the value of the insight in the first few chapters of the book. Rognlien goes through Jesus' command to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strenght - linking each one to their value in worship. The first three chapters are the most signficant. It is here he lays the groundwork theologically for the rest of his book. However, as the chapters go by the book gets weaker as it becomes a manual of ideas that worked for his church. I tend to shy away from this type of approach in books, so the latter half didn't contain as much value as the first half of the book. Overall a worthwhile read, even if only for the first few chapters as it gets you to think in a way you haven't before. 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource on Worship, September 17, 2005 By  David R.
