Three More Books on the Shelf

Since I last posted about what I am reading (finished reading), I have added three more titles to my empty shelf.

Worship Words by Debra and Ron Rienstra was a long read.  I started this book last fall and have put it down/picked up several times since.  It discusses the language we use in our worship services and what our language says about God.  It was a good read with some very thought provoking concepts.  We must be careful to use words that represent God truthfully.

Weird by Craig Groeschel was very good. Craig challenges Christians to get beyond normal.  None of us really wants to be weird, but according to this book, being normal might just be what is keeping your walk with God from growing.  Basically, this book is a call to live lives that are sold out to Jesus; lives that are biblically based and God honoring regardless of how weird it makes us look to the watching world.

Worship: The Ultimate Priority by John  MacArthur might be the best book on worship I've read since Bob Kauflin's Worship Matters.  Full of scriptural references to make his points, MacArthur posits that worship is our right response of all we are, to all that God is.  MacArthur gives examples of what Biblical worship looks like and how it affects Christians who practice it. Great read.

Now onto the next book on the stack. God Bless and keep reading.
