Worship Resources for Christian Congregations: A Symphony for the Senses

An important contribution to worship literature, this unique resource approaches Christian worship as a sense-oriented experience. Gaddy and Nixon offer recommendations about hymns, anthems, instrumental music, biblical texts, sermon themes, litanies, and prayers for each Sunday in the Christian year. In addition to their own material, the volume includes worship materials suggested by leading authorities in the various facets of corporate worship. The authors also offer a comprehensive list of recommendations regarding colors, fabrics, movements, scents, floral arrangements, and tastes that enrich congregational worship.

There are few resources for worship that bring together all the dimensions of the corporate service, a uniqueness that makes this book invaluable for anyone involved in worship planning or studying the theology and philosophy of worship.
