Synopsis

In Wallpaper Worship: Why Church Music Sounds Better, Fewer Are Singing, and What to Do About It, Danny Byram makes the comparison between today's church worship and wallpaper--meant to emphasize the design of its surroundings, but not meant to be engaged with. Through an examination of personal worship experiences, the history of worship, and examples of biblical worship, Byram unpacks this analogy. He shares how to awaken our identities as corporate and individual worshippers, and passionately participate in the God-ordained activity of worship.

Review:

In my lifetime, worship has changed from something we do before an audience of God to something a few semi-professionals do for an audience of us. In this thoughtful book, Danny Byram draws from his vast experience in many countries to explore the impact of this change. What have we lost and what do we need to regain? Danny was my worship leader for years, and he has earned the right to be heard. --Philip Yancey

We have all heard about 'worship wars,' in which people squabble over musical forms. This book digs much deeper. It focuses not on form, but on the what and why of worship. Most Christians have opinions about worship styles. What is more important is making sure that we are truly worshipping. This is a book worth reading --Gary Chapman
