NOW TO HIM PB

In 'Now to Him' we see the case for a more biblical approach to worship which honours the divine and allows space for wonder.

The authors, a theologian and a worship leader, are concerned that modern worship is growing self-indulgent: more about performance, less about an encounter with the divine.

They consider what the Bible teaches about worship, addressing four key concerns:

Worship as entertainment;
Worship which lacks wonder and awe;
Worship as irrelevant to mission;
Worship which gratifies the worshipper rather than honouring the Almighty

The authors each contribute six chapters, looking at biblical aspects of worship. They tackle worship and holiness; worship with passion; worship and the danger of idolatry. How, they ask, can we rediscover the mystery of an encounter with God, in corporate worship? How can leaders open themselves and their congregations to the heart of God, releasing his presence and power? How should we craft the unique dynamic of a people gathered to sing to God?
