The Worship Leader books are a series of practical problem/solution training guides that look at the leadership and planning issues faced by worship leaders and choir directors, along with a volume on the history of worship from pre-history through the present day. The series is written by Dr. William L. Hooper, former Dean of the School of Church Music at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and was developed out of his many years of experience as a pastor, pastoral counselor, church musician, music teacher, and seminary professor.
