Worship isn't a showcase for talented performers, a lecture on textual criticism, or a social occasion. It's the most intimate relationship you can have with your Savior. This modern classic shows you how worship can transform your life by helping you leave the dull confines of the pew and enter the courts of the Living God. 240 pages, softcover from Hendrickson.

I found the book good in stimulating discussion, but the discussion centered on how I dissagreed with the author. If you are wanting to go back to Liturgical approach to worship this book is for you. If you are not interested in being bound to the "church calendar year" then let this book pass.

Highly recommended! If you find yourself thinking a non-denominational/charasmatic "contemporary" day "worship" service is lacking in structure, substance, culture, theology and reverence and awe... If you find yourself thinking we have become "to familiar or to "buddy buddy" w/ God... and if you think "free worship" isn't free at all than this is the book for you! If you are looking for a way to combine historic christianity w/ evangelical truth and freedom read this book. Webber does an excellent job of showing how we have let pastors and the sermon become the center of the service. It was never meant to be this way(as evangelicals we supposively hold to the priesthod of all believers). God has made man to be fed by all of the worship service not just a sermon to the intellect. We must return to biblical, creedal, historic christianity. Webber shows that this can be done by a balance of the word of the Lord(sermon) and the table of the Lord(Holy Eucharist) among other things... Webber, must have been reading my mind! he asks and answers some the questions I thought no one was asking. Praise God!
