Seeking the Face of God: Evangelical Worship Reconceived

Seeking the Face of God is a challenge to engage in worship that is actually about God. In an easily readable manner the author tells how the essential God-focus of worship has been blurred among evangelicals by confusing worship with evangelism, entertainment, and emotions. He then shows how the practices of the ancient Church and the theological wisdom of later centuries present worship as a joyful discipline of the people of God, forming them in the image of Christ, propelling and sustaining them in faithful mission—and how today’s evangelical worship can continue this through a Gospel-shaped worship pilgrimage. Worshipers and worship leaders from all styles of worship will learn much and receive immediately usable guidance in this pastorally oriented and historically and theologically based re-conception of worship.
