Worship, Rediscovering the Missing Jewel

As a pastor, I am always receptive to learn more about leading God's people in worship. This book is an excellent resource that would be an asset to every pastor's bookshelf. Allen and Borror do an outstanding job of presenting key components of Christian worship.The authors define worship, then proceed to speak of the necessity of balance in worship services. Worship services should be characterized by upreach, inreach and outreach. In other words, worship services should consist of loving God, loving one another, and loving the world in a desire for their salvation. In the latter portion of this work, the authors focus on various components of worship services, such as the use of "amen," physical participation, public Scripture reading, music ministry, and an appropriate environment.I recommend this book highly to all pastors, worship leaders, and other persons who will be leading the body of Christ in adoration and praise.
