High-Tech Worship? takes a thoughtful look at these issues and more, giving practical guidance on how to best use the gift of technology in your church. Learn when to adopt, reject, or adapt technologies to help worshipers encounter God in fresh and meaningful ways.

"Quentin Schultze treats worship with reverence and technology with respect. His careful and attentive writing on these juxtaposed concerns is required reading for all of us who lead congregations in worshiping God these days. Essential and much needed wisdom."-Eugene H. Peterson, author of The Message

"Schultze manages to cut a path between rejection of technology on the one hand and excessive use on the other. His advice is both a corrective and a guideline for technology users."-Robert E. Webber, Myers Professor of Ministry, Northern Seminary

"Church leaders need to hear Schultze's call for balance and wisdom in the use of presentation technologies in worship. I applaud Schultze's clear encouragement for liturgical wisdom."-Eileen D. Crowley, author of Liturgical Art for a Media Culture
