Whatever Happened to Worship?
by A. W. Tozer
Decrying much of contemporary worship as entertainment, Tozer says, "When we are worshipping...if the love of God is in us and the Spirit of God is breathing praise within us, all the musical instruments in heaven are suddenly playing in full support." Originally preached as sermons at Avenue Road Alliance Church in Toronto, the chapters of Whatever Happened to Worship convey Tozer's attitude and thoughts on Christian worship.
unChristian - What a new generation thinks about Christianity and why it's important
by David Kinnaman
In his Epistle, the Apostle Peter instructed us to give others good reason for the hope we have in Christ, but to do so with "gentleness and respect." Unfortunately, in the eyes of many non-Christians today, the church has done just the opposite.
In Unchristian, David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group, has compiled startling research among the non-Christians and learned that Christians are too often known for the issues they stand against, rather than the hope which they stand for. According to the research, believers are seen as too judgmental, too political, and often hypocritical. If you are a Pastor, lay person or youth leader you will not want to go without the details of this critical study. Uncover for yourself the latest research the non-Christian perspective in Kinnaman's must-read book.
If you'd like to suggest a book as "Recommended Reading", please speak with Joy Vander Vliet during our Coffee Cafe or shortly after church services.
