The Air I Breathe: Worship as a Way of Life

In full time ministry with Campus Crusade for Christ a lifetime and been to a couple of seminaries. Of all the books I've read, this is one of the most important. Simple but not simplistic - a short book that shifted my paradigm on worship. For me, it brought together major strands of thoughts that the Lord has been working in our team's hearts via readings of John Piper, Jonathan Edwards, and John Eldredge. A hearty recommendation for all. Wish this book was translated and distributed widely around the world.

I really liked this little book with its deep insights. Louie lays it on the line just like Dylan did when he wrote You Gotta Serve Somebody. Well, we all worship and as the author states we were designed to worship BUT it who or what we worship, That is the question. I found his insights quite stirring, thought provoking and challenging. I also like his definition of worship and his observations of how and what people worship besides GOD. I found most refreshing his heart for GOD and his life of continuous worship. It opened my eyes to how I can worship GOD in all that I do except in sin. Come to think of it I really liked this book and I am going to change my rating from a 4 to a 5. GOD bless and be blessed get this book and begin to see with the eyes of GOD. JB

Loui Giglio, founder and leader of the Passion network, an organization that has heavily influenced the worship music sung in churches all over the globe writes about worship as a way of life.There is so much hype these days in church about the worship. Many times it is easy to assume that worship is purely the singing or hour you spend in a church building on Sunday. This book will challenge anyone who desires to honor God, to take another hard and honest look at what they worship.It is a short, but poignant read! It will not take you long to finish the book, but it may take you a lifetime to fully embrace and live out its message.

I've been attending 7:22, a Bible study (amazing!) for several years since moving to Atlanta and have heard Giglio teach and lead in the area of true worship for many years. I'm so glad he final put some of this teaching into written form. If you're looking for teaching on worship that starts with the heart and takes in every single part of life (I love when he talks about his college days as a "copy boy"), this is the book for you. I've bought copies for friends of mine all across the country and found it to be the perfect starting point for people who don't consider themselves a part of the worship conversation like most of Passion's 268 Generation. Giglio and Matt Redman beat with the same heartbeat. Get the book! You'll be passing it on to a friend soon.

It is great to see a book from Louie Giglio. God has used him to impact my life in a huge way. This book is especially good because he puts into print a teaching that the whole church needs to here. Worship is more than songs, styles, or services, it is living our life to and for God! If you are on a church staff read this book together. If you are trying to get your church to understand worship, then read this book and tell everyone!
