“What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.

This book was derived through inspiration, research, and mostly the working of the Holy Spirit. Worship as a way of life was instituted from the foundations of this world and the worlds beyond. It was worship that inspired God to duplicate himself in definitive yet diminutive forms and create other beings beside himself. It was love that was the driving force behind the inspiration to create worshippers that propelled his desire for adoration. It is the heart of every living thing that creeps, crawls, or walks on this earth and other livable lands. Worship has been the source of healing and hurt, if abused mistreated or misused. Blasphemy is the contradicting attitude toward God in conflict and opposition to the idea of worship, reproaching deity. As is norm, the breaking sequence brings a consequence, so is the blasphemy of deity as I know it—Elohim. This book sheds light into deeper insights, truths, and candor into the existence and continuance of worship as the source and basis of happiness. Matthew 26:65 refers to Jesus, the author of worship, a blasphemer according to the Sanhedrin, sending him to his Crucifixion, death, burial, and Resurrection. The lack of insight of the Sanhedrin into his attributes and nature paradoxically brought about the consequence for defiance, reflecting the spiritual effects of rebellion and insolence. Some penalty came as sudden retribution; others, over time, became the cost of impudence and its audacity. Penitence (due process) is taught in this book as a system of redemption from the effects of insubordination as opposed to the means to the end, i.e., blasphemy! Enjoy the journey as the times of refreshing emanating from the throne of the Creator engulf you.

Contemporary or traditional? Blended or seeker? Pop or "classical"? Chorus or hymn? Combo or organ? Questions concerning music in worship abound these days. Is there a practical way to deal with these issues?In "Music and Ministry: A Biblical Counterpoint," Calvin Johansson looks to God's Word for principles foundational to music ministry. Weaving together great scriptural truths, he establishes the need for a "directional balance" between pastoral contextualization and prophetic purity. In a time of facile musical accommodation of the gospel to culture, Dr. Johansson suggests that a heightened concern for musical style and quality is in order" not for the sake of music, but for the sake of the gospel.

Nothing is more essential than knowing how to worship the God who created us. This book focuses readers on the essentials of God-honoring worship, combining biblical foundations with practical application in a way that works in the real world. The author, a pastor and noted songwriter, skillfully instructs pastors, musicians, and church leaders so that they can root their congregational worship in unchanging scriptural principles, not divisive cultural trends. Bob Kauflin covers a variety of topics such as the devastating effects of worshiping the wrong things, how to base our worship on God's self-revelation rather than our assumptions, the fuel of worship, the community of worship, and the ways that eternity's worship should affect our earthly worship. Appropriate for Christians from varied backgrounds and for various denominations, this book will bring a vital perspective to what readers think they understand about praising God.
