Webber, Robert, the Ancient-Future Series (Ancient Future Faith, Ancient Future Time, etc). All of Robert Webber’s books are helpful.

Schmemann, Alexander, For The Life of the World. This book is a great piece on the Sacrament of the Eucharist, as well as an introduction to thinking about he world from a sacramental perspective.

Marva J. Dawn, Reaching out Without Dumbing Down, Eerdmans, 1995 and A Royal Waste of Time, Eerdmans, 1999. If you're moving from a more free-Church worship setting to a liturgical worship setting, Dawn's work will provide a great foundation.

Galli, Mark, Beyond Bells and Smells: The Wonder and Power of Christian Liturgy. This is a very accessible introduction to liturgy.

Smith, James K.A., Desiring the Kingdom and Imagining the Kingdom.

Chan, Simon, Liturgical Theology.

Frame, John, Contemporary Worship, P&R Publishing. Frame's perspective on Christian worship is helpful and wise. He approaches the subject from a Reformed/Presbyterian ethos.
