Book Description

The Bible contains sixty-six unique books, all telling one incredible story. In the beginning we were created to worship, but our history is one of worship broken and misplaced. The Worship Problem starts at the beginning and traces the story of worship lost and God's plan to restore it once again through the history of the Old Testament. If you have ever struggled to understand the story of the Bible, or how the Old Testament is relevant in the modern age, The Worship Problem is a book for you. In an age where worship has become synonymous with musical style and form, The Worship Problem seeks to take the reader back to the heart of what worship was always truly meant to be... a story of surrender and sacrifice. "Take time to consume this book from my brother in Christ Chuck Hooten. You will never see worship the same way again." Rick Burgess - Co Host of The Rick and Bubba Show, Speaker and Author "Chuck is deeply committed to the gospel narrative from beginning to end and in his new book, "The Worship Problem," he chronicles with humility and awe the circuitous Old Testament path of God's people that ranges from devotion to disdain and flows from The Garden of Eden to the Cross." Michael Adler - Worship Pastor, Author, Speaker "Chuck delves deeply into Scripture and unearths the gospel narrative that drives at the heart of worship in his book. He manages to pack a theological punch without meandering into the heady impractical effectively through meaningful personal experiences and memorable illustrations. If you want a biblical approach to worship that will also stir your affections, get this book." Bobby Smith - Worship Pastor, Artist, Creator "I am incredibly thankful for Chuck and his dedication to growing and practicing as a worshipper. His unwavering hope in the gospel has continually inspired me as a husband, father, and friend." Curtis Zachary - Author of "Soul Rest", Speaker, Pastor "We all worship-all the time. The question is, do we worship the right things the right way? For many years Chuck Hooten has led people to understand and focus their worship. Now, in The Worship Problem, he has given all of us a resource helping us understand the why, when, and who our affection and worship should belong to. J. Roger Davis - President YM360
