Reviews

"Chip Stam was a gift to the church. This anthology is a deep treasure chest full of Chip’s carefully assembled reflections. It is an invaluable volume for anyone who treasures Christian worship."
— Constance M. Cherry, Indiana Wesleyan University

"This collection of worship quotes displays Chip’s unceasing desire to worship the Savior, proclaim the gospel that changed him and encourage that passion in others."
— Bob Kauflin, Sovereign Grace Music

"From Aristotle to Wesley, and everybody in between and before and after, Chip Stam has done us the irreplaceable service of gathering worship quotes so that we can drink from the wisdom of the ages and ponder the saints’ insights. These extracts are gems that I will treasure and continue to apply to the Church and her worship. I love this book!"
— Marva J. Dawn, Christians Equipped for Ministry

"Chip Stam was not only a source of much personal wisdom about worship that glorifies God, but he also had the gift of pointing us to other sources of wisdom. We miss him, but the gift lives on in his wonderful collection of gems about bringing more joy into our worshiping lives!"
— Richard Mouw, Fuller Theological Seminary
