Samuel's aim is to help readers think more carefully about worship, understand its biblical and historical roots, and inspire a deeper pursuit of living as true worshipers. A 5 by 8 inch paperback, 110 pages.

What leaders are saying
“This is a much needed resource for pastors, worship leaders, and every believer who longs to move beyond routine into revelation.”
“Samuel carries a rare depth for his age, an old soul with a sincere love for theology, history, and the Word of God. This book is not theory, it is the overflow of a life rooted in depth and devotion.”
“Thoughtfully researched and beautifully written, this book takes us from the shallows of over familiarity and out into the deep blue ocean of heavenly wonder. We believe it should be essential reading for all Churches and Bible Schools.”
“I spent the last 15 years of my life traveling the world teaching about worship, nothing brings me more joy than to see a new generation being raised up that will carry this message that is so dear to the Lord to the finish line.”
“I have witnessed with my own eyes how worship has totally transformed Samuel's life, which makes this book even better, because he lives it!”
