One of the reasons I wrote Worship Matters was not simply so that people would read it, which I hope they do, but so that it might serve as a training tool for future leaders. That’s why I dedicated the book this way:
Ps. 71:18 has been a favorite verse of mine for years. It says, “So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.” God has kindly answered my prayer.
(BTW, this picture comes courtesy of my oldest daughter, Megan, who posted it on her blog.)
Wow! You must be so proud of your legacy, and it’s awesome to see all the care you have for them
Hi Bob,
Amen to your dedication and to the prayer behind it.
I just finished the first section of your book…thanks so much for writing it. Your words shine the spotlight on our wonderful Savior and the need to live and play and sing (and do all) for His glory. I hope many worship leaders will read and benefit from it. Many blessings to you!
Love the book so far, Bob! I’m looking forward to the fruit it is going to bear in the body of Christ. Thanks so very much, brother.
Bob,
This is the verse my Dad took to heart and lived out in the last couple of years of his life after he was diagnosed with leukemia. It’s good to see it again here.

Marc,
That is very moving. Thanks for letting me know. It’s a privilege to live the rest of my life for the next generation.
The book arrived in my office yesterday, and I’ve read the intro and first chapter. So excited!

I’m really excited to get your book. I was talking with some of my friends about it, and we were saying how there just aren’t many good books on the subject of worship. There’s plenty out there condeming contemporary worship, but there aren’t many that will come from the other side. Thanks for your work. By the way, is there any chance that your book will be given to the attendees of T4G?
Andrew,
Thanks for asking if my book will be given away at Together for the Gospel. You’ll find out next week…
