Worship is an integral element of the typical church worship service. Yet no church formulates worship quite the same way. It seems that each church has its own style, culture, and worship personality. With all the differences in worship today, what makes up a true worship service? How do we know that worship is being done in a Biblical way? Worship leaders come in all shapes and sizes. What are the true functions of a worship leader? What does the Bible say about leading worship? How does worship leadership look that is pleasing to God? Worship is the place where the tangible presence of God comes down and reaches human beings. When true worship comes down to earth, it brings the presence of God. It is Jehovah God coming to earth to meet with His creation. Humans reaching up and into the presence of God can bring down whatever it is that is needed for life, health, goodness, healing, and wholeness. Whatever we need is in the presence and the glory of God. The Wonder of Worship is designed to teach tools to develop the talent and the gifting that comes with a worship leader. However, just because you are not called to be a worship leader doesn’t mean you cannot learn how to be a better worshipper within these pages. This book will take you into the presence of God. It is a must-read for anyone who desires to glean, learn, grow, and become the best worshipper you can be on this earth in preparation for the eternal worship service that we someday will be joining.

Two respected scholars explore the heart of the Psalms Following in the style of their companion volumes, The Psalms as Christian Worship and The Psalms as Christian Lament, Bruce Waltke and James Houston now explore the depths of Christian praise. Each volume uniquely blends verse-by-verse commentary with a history of Psalms interpretation in the church from the time of the apostles to the present. Since praise is the essence of the book of Psalms, Waltke and Houston have narrowed the focus to Book IV of the Psalter (Psalms 90-106), which magnify God and proclaim him king. To give voice to the psalmist, the authors (carefully) translate and explain each psalm and summarize its theological message. This is followed by listening to the voice of godly churchmen whose comments have stood the test of time. The Psalms as Christian Praise is ideal for anyone seeking to better understand the praise of Israel as found in the Psalms and how Christians also use these Psalms in worship.

Prayer Warrior describes Gail Appels quest to learn how to obey Gods admonition to pray without ceasing. As Gail began seeking Gods heart in prayer, He showed her how to pray effectively, using a clear method of searching Scripture for specific themes and verses and defining each term to determine Gods will in prayer. The result is a comprehensive, topical study of four hundred different prayer needs. As Gail submitted herself to Gods instruction, her horizons began to expand, and her relationship with God deepened. She learned to pray with power, trust, and joy. Prayer is every believers privilege as well as duty. Prayer makes joy possible under all circumstances as we make our requests known to God and listen to His still, quiet voice.

When do you praise God? When He has done something grand? How about when He's done something you don't understand or agree with? Are you praising God for being a Giver and a Taker? It is important to recognize God's attributes that please us, as well as the ones that don't, then offer up praise to Him for all things and in all circumstances. Often, praise is completely left out of our prayers to God. If we follow the example Jesus gave in Matthew 6:9-13, then praise should come first, yet finding the words to do this can be challenging. This book contains over five hundred praise words to help facilitate a more intimate knowledge of God, broadening our ability to praise Him specifically for His attributes. This book is a powerful transforming tool to be used in a daily walk with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Choose a word, then offer up a first fruit sacrifice of praise to God. If it is heartfelt and sincere, God will be pleased. You will be blessed because of the intimacy this creates. When we are praising, we are not controlling, we are releasing. Praise prayer is different because it removes the tendency to give orders to God that sounds something like, "please fix this," "change that," "don't do this," "give me that." Sometimes a defeated tone is present in our prayers, sounding like, "God, this is what I want, but your will be done, which is probably not my will, so I'm not sure how to pray." Praising God first can take away the need to control and the feeling of defeat by releasing it to God, focusing entirely on Him and His sovereignty in all circumstances. Praise God first. That's what we can do. God has got the rest. Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. (Heb. 13:15)
