The True Worship by John Blackburn

ISBN-10: 09475880051
ASIN: B0007K56HU

Overview

"The True Worship" by John Blackburn is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to truly worship God. Taking John 4:23 as the foundation, Blackburn examines the Scriptural basis of worship, contrasting it with Old Testament practices, ritualistic worship within Christendom, and modern interpretations. With clarity and depth, the author defines worship in its proper Biblical context, distinguishing it from related acts such as thanksgiving, praise, and prayer.

This book is not a "how-to" manual, nor does it propose an ideal worship format. Instead, it is a Scriptural journey into understanding the heart of worship as an attitude of spirit rooted in recognizing God through Christ.
