It is totally non-hyped and full of rich truths on worship that will change you forever.”
Don Moen, Executive Vice President /Creative Director, Integrity Music
“Thoughtful and wise, Gerrit is a worship practitioner, not just a theorist, and combines a
mind that searches the Scriptures with a gracious and humble attitude and a servant heart.”
Graham Kendrick, international songwriter (Shine, Jesus, Shine) and worship pioneer.
“Gerrit’s the ‘Yoda’ of praise and worship.”
Paul Baloche, songwriter (Open the Eyes of My Heart, Above All) and worship leader.
“Beyond style, beyond cosmetics, Gerrit gets to the epicenter of what worship is and
what our worship relationship with God was meant to be. His is a voice of clarity.”
