Book excerpt: The Worship Cycle was designed by God to bring about transformation in us and in our world. Because love is at the center of who God is, the ultimate passion and vision quest of a true disciple of Christ...is to know the vast treasures of God's heart and kingdom through Jesus.Why is it so hard for us to spend more than a few minutes seeking God in prayer? Are we easily discouraged from perseverance in prayer and worship because we don't love Him, or are there other factors involved? Discover the reasons behind our discouragement and learn about Christ's transformation of his church. While we cannot grasp all that is going on in the infinite mind of Christ, one thing seems clear: Jesus is working and patiently transforming His church into a beautiful, mature bride. God clearly and boldly gives us the criteria necessary for acceptable and rewarding worship. With a large part of God's transformation efforts directed toward you, you can learn to worship simply and to pray with perseverance. By drawing from brilliant lessons of teachers like Jesus and Moses, you'll find out how God can heal your heart, transform your mind, and equip you with the primary elements of personal biblical worship. The Worship Cycle weaves teaching from both the Old and New Testaments to integrate and summarize the pattern of worship God has carefully revealed. In this thought-provoking and encouraging book, you'll learn to master The Worship Cycle, ultimately drawing closer to the secret place in God's heart.

Book excerpt: “What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The resources in this one-volume library provide a variety of paragraphs and sentences, prayers and calls, and hymn suggestions based on all three Scripture readings for every Sunday of the year. For each Sunday in the lectionary there are: three responsive calls to worship, three collects, three prayers of confession and three sets of hymn suggestions.While most congregations keep the order of worship consistent from week to week, it is important to continually refresh the components and make them relevant to the day's lessons. This book makes it possible to focus worship on the same lesson on which the sermon is based, or it allows emphasis to be placed on one of the lessons the preacher has not chosen to preach about, or portions can be combined from all three to provide a unity in the lessons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A necessary task of missionaries in recent decades has been to help local Christians "inculturate" or "contextualize" their faith, although the criteria for doing so often came from outside the context in which new believers developed their understanding of Christianity. Highlighting the voices of non-Western scholars, this work recognizes the importance of ritual and ceremony in the life of communities that seek to worship God in ways that reflect culturally appropriate responses to Scripture. The contributors -- some of missiology's leading lights -- discuss rituals, beliefs, and practices of diverse peoples, supporting the conclusion that orthodox Christianity is hybrid Christianity.

Book excerpt: Modern worship leaders are restless. They have inherited a model of leadership that equates leading worship with being a rock star. But leading worship is more than a performance, it's about shaping souls and making disciples. Every worship leader is really a pastor. The Worship Pastor is a practical and biblical introduction to this essential pastoral role. Filled with engaging, illustrative stories it is organized to address questions of theory and practice, striving to balance conversational accessibility with informed instruction. Part One presents a series of evocative "vignettes"--intriguing and descriptive titles and metaphors of who a Worship Pastor is and what he or she does. It shows the Worship Pastor as Church-Lover, Disciple Maker, Corporate Mystic, and Doxological Philosopher. Part Two covers specific roles related to ministry within the worship service itself--the Worship Pastor as Theological Dietician, Caregiver, Mortician, Emotional Shepherd, War General, Prophetic Guardian, Missional Historian, and Liturgical Architect. Part Three looks at ministry beyond the worship service--the Worship Pastor as Visionary Teacher, Evangelist, Artist Chaplain, and Team Leader. While some worship leaders are eager to embrace their pastoral role, many are lost and confused or lack the resources of time or money to figure out what this role looks like. Pastor Zac Hicks gives us a clear guide to leading worship, one that takes the pastoral call seriously.

Book excerpt: God has always had a way He wants to be worshiped. He has outlined that way for us in His written revelation—the Bible. In it, He has commanded us to worship Him with our entire being, holding nothing back. According to Jesus, this is the first and greatest commandment. The reasons God has given us for obeying His commands to worship Him are: because of who He is, and because of what He does. Worship is the biblically declared reason for mankind’s existence. However, how and when we worship is just as important as the fact that we do worship. Also, what God means when He uses the biblical synonyms of the word “worship” is important to understand when we are trying to obtain a more complete picture of how God wants us to worship Him. Biblical Worship is a book for every Christian, regardless of their preferred worship style or worship traditions. The fresh, new insights contained within its pages about what type of worship God desires from us all have the potential to shock you at times. At the very least, this book will cause you to never view worship the same way again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a series of rites of passage through the landmarks of growing up and growing old, Jewish and Christian life-cycle rituals give the members of each religious tradition theological and ritualized definitions of what a life should be. In this volume, the fourth in the acclaimed series Two Liturgical Traditions, eight scholars explore the models of human life implicit in Judaism and Christianity by unraveling and exploring the evolution and current condition of their life-cycle liturgies. By combining the historical-critical method of traditional scholarship with that of more recent theory drawn from the human sciences, Life Cycles in Jewish and Christian Worship provides a novel treatment of Jewish and Christian life cycles, past and present, and is a unique and invaluable guide to the history, practice, and theology of life-cycle liturgy. Contributors: Paul F. Bradshaw, Lawrence A. Hoffman, Ruth A. Meyers, Debra R. Blank, Karen B. Westerfield Tucker, Marjorie Procter-Smith, and Yoel Kahn.

Book excerpt: Bring worship to life! The swell of responsibilities for those who plan worship in communities is restrictive when it comes to dedicating time for creatively planning liturgies. It's one of the easier things to proclaim, yet is a fantastic way to engage as many people as possible. The latest Lectionary Worship Workbook for cycle A from CSS Publishing holds an entire year of worship plans built thematically around the Revised Common Lectionary. Each of these ideas have been tried and tested in a congregational setting and have even been refined with congregational feedback. The invitation to see and engage in worship differently will enliven those participating in praise and devotion in any setting. Lectionary Worship Workbook is a collection of creative, cohesive worship ideas tied to the Revised Common Lectionary. This book is dedicated to the idea of embracing a common set of scriptures and bringing them to life in new and meaningful ways. The text is rooted in and bound to the text of the Bible for its source language, story, and metaphor. This will aid anyone in the preparation and leadership of worship in the Christian tradition. This book fills the need of pastors who do not have the time or talents to dedicate to worship planning but want to use different words and images in worship to elicit a different connection with the members in the congregation. Each season of the church year has a unique theme which connects all of the worship services together. The themes connect both the scripture for the season and the season's purpose as historically created. Lectionary Worship Workbook includes the following: Hymns and contemporary songs Invocations Confession and forgiveness Prayers of the church Offertory Prayers Communion material Pastor DJ Dent is the associate pastor at Christ Lutheran Church in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He has a passion for creative liturgy and has designed art, dramas, and decoration alongside the spoken word in worship for synod assemblies, congregational worship, clergy conferences, and special events for the last 7 years as a pastor in the ELCA.

She has been published in music education magazines, and has provided original music resources for Augsburg Fortress Publishers.
