This resource, originally published in 1988, has become a basic text in the study of church music, as well as serving as a handbook for church music leaders, pastors, music committee members, and others. Westermeyer has updated and expanded the volume to reflect the current challenges of contemporary culture, musical and worship styles, and integrity to the gospel. More than a "how-to" manual for musicians, this book is an interdisciplinary study of worship, music, and theology accessible to everyone.

This involves developing a personal aesthetic, an awareness of the context for one’s work, specific musical and technical abilities and an individual identity.
