New Book Release: Worship Like Jesus

New Book Release: Worship Like Jesus 150 150 The Worship Architect

Worship in local churches has changed dramatically over the past fifty years, not only in North America but in many places on every continent. Have these widespread and varying shifts left us with vague or even false impressions of what the weekly worship event is all about? Do followers of Jesus Christ grasp the importance of their role in worship? Do they know how to become fully engaged participants? Do they realize Jesus himself is our best guide and model
for worship?

Worship Like Jesus: A Guide for Every Follower guides Christ-followers through the essential features of Christian worship, transforming the reader’s understanding and experience of worship. This leads people—even entire congregations—to experience worship in exciting and profound ways as never before. This type of worship also leads people into deeper and more committed discipleship. Imagine a community of fully engaged, deeply committed disciples!

Revered author and scholar Constance Cherry offers this practical and foundational resource
for ministry leaders and their worship communities. Each chapter follows the same helpful structure:

  • Introduction
  • Description of the chapter topic and its importance
  • Discovery of Jesus’s own practice
  • Deliberation or reflection on how Jesus’s model makes a difference
  • Determination—readers consider how their worship will be shaped as a result of this chapter; includes questions for reflection
  • Prayer

At the end of each chapter, an exercise is suggested to help people take a practical step
toward greater participation and engagement. This book is for every layperson who truly
desires to become an active, devoted worshiper of the triune God.

Worship Like Jesus: A Guide for Every Follower is published by Abingdon Press. To learn more about this resource, visit the Books page or order your copy today!
