Customer Reviews:

Fantastic resource for understanding biblical aspects of worship

By A. Johnsen - March 20, 2006

This book is a very well-written and thoughtful examination of the various aspects of worship, written from a Reformed perspective. Before you begin, it's important to know that this book does not define "worship" narrowly to mean "the singing time of the service," but the entire Lord's day service. Each chapter touches on a different topic, beginning with the very foundational question: Does God care how we worship? There are a couple of chapters that answer this question (which the authors answer "yes" as they outline the regulative principle of worship). Then subsequent chapters discuss expository preaching, hymnody, the Lord's supper, baptism, public prayer, etc. It is very thorough and scholarly, yet readable. If you are wanting to learn about how to design a worship service that will entertain people or draw crowds, don't bother with this one. (Actually, maybe you need to read this more than anyone else!) If you want to learn biblical principles for how to design a... read more

A Call To Biblical & Faithful Doxology

By Jacques Schoeman - November 2, 2007

The essays deal with contemporary issues surrounding modern worship and examine cultural influences that have stormed into church services. This book is a well-constructed and sanctified plea from various steady voices that we stay true to the vision delivered to men by a holy God. The deficiency of modern worship is that it is visibly man-centred and continues to seek solutions to its problems through culture-related methods, and not through means that are conceivably permitted by scriptural sanction. The purpose-driven turning to various forms of media to attract and entertain the crowds, remind us of the golden calf, as Michael S Horton so well reminds us, which sole attempt is to overthrow established mediums in the church worship service.

Ch 1: Does God Care How We Worship? J Ligon Duncan III:
'The Bible (God's own self-disclosure and revelation) - not our innovations, imaginations, experiences, opinions, and representations - is to be the source of our idea of... read more

A Timely book about worship

By Paul Thomas - May 3, 2012

If there is one thing that has fallen into disrepute in many American Christian churches, it is the concept of Biblically regulated worship. A lack of understanding of Biblical worship has permeated large portions of evangelical Christianity. This problem is not limited to one style of church or denomination, but is a large-scale issue on many different fronts. Even within reformed circles, there has been a reaction from the idea that Scriptures should regulate the essential elements of corporate worship. Reformed doctrine has been growing like a week in popularity but a reformed understanding of worship has not always been quick to follow. On many different fronts there is great confusion about what constitutes Biblical worship. In an attempt to honor the faithfulness of God in the ministry and life of James Montgomery Boice and his heart for Biblical worship, Give Praise To God is a collection of articles written by a plethora of well known reformed authors and pastors come together... read more
