While people may attempt to categorize worship as public or personal (corporate or private), all worship is personal. Musicians may lead a congregation in corporate praise but, that which goes on in the heart–communication between God and the worshiper–can only be experienced personally. And every person’s worship experience is different. This is because worship is experienced in the heart. 

I began my career in Christian publishing more than 30 years ago at Tyndale House Publishers in Carol Stream, Illinois. At the time, I was a graduate student at Wheaton College—newly married and searching for part-time work. I was pursuing an M.A. in Christian History, with plans to earn a doctorate and eventually teach at the college level. But it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the world of book publishing. After completing my studies, along with a second M.A. in Communication Theory, I made the decision to devote myself fully to publishing.
