Book Description
Arthur Hildersham (1563-1631) was a shining light in the puritan party, and celebrated for his exemplary learning and piety as a minister of Jesus Christ. This work is an abridged version of Arthur Hildersham’s 1000-page commentary on the fourth chapter of John. It has been prayerfully edited to its current size so that not only will readers have a chance to handle a manageable book on worship by this exemplary puritan, but also that they might focus on the most proper teachings by Hildersham concerning Christ’s Directives on the Nature of True Worship. From John 4:23-24, Hildersham explains what worship is, how worship is to be done in spirit and truth, how the Father seeks worshippers (and for what reason), and how God’s prescription is eternally relevant in true worship for Christ’s New Covenant church. Hildersham carefully explains Christ’s teaching to the inquiring Samaritan woman on true worship against false worship, and he shows how worship should be practically applied under the Messiah’s rule. Essentially, Hildersham is teaching the Regulative Principle of Worship, that God alone determines the way sinners are to approach him. Yet, these are, in fact, Christ’s directives on the theological and practical nature of God’s worship. This little book is most relevant for the church in our day today. In considering what true worship should be as it is prescribed by God, Hildersham will call all other forms of false worship as “worshipping devils”, for at the end of the day one must not simply pick what they want to practice in worship and have peace with that, but uphold the directives and prescriptions of what God has laid down in his word constituting the worship that is both in spirit and in truth. Hildersham will vividly demonstrate from John 4, from Christ’s directives, that false worship is to be rejected, and that no one can have peace with God in idolatry, even if they are earnest in it. For idolatry is a rejection of worship in spirit and truth. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Book Description
Nothing is more important than worship. It is the theme of Scripture, the theme of eternity, and the theme of redemptive history— to worship the true and living and glorious God is the purpose of all creation. So why do we treat it as only what is sung or played in church on Sunday morning? Pastor John MacArthur leads you through Scripture texts about true worship. You will learn that worship is any essential expression of service rendered unto God by a soul that loves and extols Him for who He is. Worship is the nonstop role of believers, not merely part of a church service. So get ready to alter your priorities, aiming higher than entertaining worshipers on Sunday mornings. Worship shows that your ultimate priority must always be to worship the true and living God, with a radically different type of living.

Book Description
This insightful book by N. T. Wright explores both the meaning and the results of Christian worship. Part 1, "The God Who Is Worthy of Praise," focuses on what worshiping God actually means. Wright celebrates the greatness and beauty of God as the ground and reason for worship and shows how reflection on who God is leads us to true, heartfelt worship (from "worth-ship"), as we seek to give God all he's worth. Part 2, "Reflecting God's Image in the World," addresses a range of issues that flow from the activity of worship. Since worship can never remain isolated from the task of the church, Wright here explores how true worship leads to the mission of the church in various specific ways. Based firmly on sensitive and creative readings of the biblical text, this book is an inspiring call for renewal in the worship and witness of today's church.

Book Description
From John 4:24, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth,” Charnock explains the nature of God as it relates to true, spiritual worship. He shows how God is a Spirit, and what it means that we are to worship God in spirit and truth. His main doctrine from the text is that worship due to God ought to be spiritual, and spiritually performed by his people in truth and righteousness. Worship is nothing else but a rendering to God the honor that is due to him. Charnock shows that the nature of God and the prescription of his will alone (only found in the Scriptures) informs us what kind of worship is to be presented to him. The pillars on which the worship of God stands cannot be discerned without divine revelation. Worship depends on the scriptural directions God prescribes as the sovereign Lawgiver. True worship, then, must be conformed to the rule and pattern of God's will and pleasure, revealed in his holy word. It must have truth for its substance, and spirit for its manner, otherwise, it is not worship with which the Father will be pleased. Charnock warns that lukewarm and indifferent services to God in worship stink in the nostrils of God. To give God only an external form of worship without its life, is taking his name in vain. We mock him when we do not mind what we are speaking to him, or what he is speaking to us in worship. Annexed to this work is, "A Short and Full Vindication of that Sweet and Comfortable Ordinance of Singing of Psalms," by Jonathan Clapham (1611-1676). This is a powerful biblical treatment of psalmody in a short tract. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Book Description
Worship That Pleases God: The Passion and Reason of True Worship is a comprehensive book ranging far beyond the sanctuary to the private altar, to the heart of the worshiper and even to the workplace. Whole-life worship is the kind that pleases God. "...let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praiseÉAnd do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased (Hebrews 13:15, 16 NIV). A worship leader for more than thirty years, Dr. Phifer, brings a passionate writing style and sound biblical interpretation to this search for the meaning of "spirit and truth" worship (John 4:24). Dr. Phifer believes that True Worship establishes the Kingdom of God in our hearts, our homes, our places of worship as well as in the workplace and the marketplace. This book is about much more than what happens on Sunday morning. "Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit," the three characteristics of the Kingdom of God found in Romans 14:17, form the themes of each section of the book. Section One, Righteousness, deals with a biblical theology of worship. Dr. Phifer offers biblical definitions for the essential elements of worship and he presents seven biblical models for worship. Section Two, Peace, presents the priority of worship as the factor of church life that is intended to bind generations and cultures together in a bond of peace. Section Three, Joy, treats the daily life of the believer dealing with issues of craftsmanship, creativity and the spiritual warfare of private worship. Paul urged the Roman church to "...present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (of worship)" (Rom 12:1 NKJV [NIV]). Worship That Pleases God is a passionate book presenting that reasonable service of worship to God. HR ALIGN=LEFT

Book Description
What is the nature of true worship? What are we actaully doing when we meet together for 'church' on Sundays? And how does that connect with what we do the rest of the week? Vaughan Roberts answers these questions and more, as he brings readers back to the Bible in order to define what worship is and isn't, and what it should and shouldn't be. While we may struggle to define worship by arguing about singing hymns with the organ, versus modern songs with guitars and drums, or about the place of certain spiritual gifts, Roberts suggests we are asking the wrong questions. For true worship is more than this - it is to encompass the whole of life. This book challenges us to worship God every day of the week, with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.

Book Description
Throughout the ages, it is unfortunate that the topic of sex has more popularity than the name of Jesus. It was never the intention of God that the act of intimacy would replace the true intimate relationship between Father God and His children. This book is designed to restore purposeful worship to the Father and provide intent, understanding and application in order to guide you ?Behind the Veil? where the Forerunner has gone on our behalf. Worship'to give reverence to'is more than an external act, posture or position. It is an integral part of communing with Father God. It is a substantial requirement for all believers in order to impact and make great exploits in the world as examples of Christ. What is Father God's intent for true worship? What constitutes a "true worshipper? and why is God seeking those to worship Him? This book rightly divides the Word and reveals our Father's desire and intent for true worship. It will move you from the immediate thought of worship as music and provide the biblical knowledge, understanding and application of worship in order to distinguish it separately from praise. It shall reveal the truth that praise is a by-product of your soul and worship is a by-product of your spirit. It is only in the presence of God that He is revealed wholly to Believers'as we enter into His presence empty and depart full. It is impossible to successfully represent the God we serve without spending time in His presence, having no familiarity with His voice in order to hear the instructions, and without choosing to surrender that He may be made manifest. Behind the Veil provides the key that unlocks the answers to why some talk about worship, and others enjoy a life of peace engaged in true worship.
