Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0830833161, Hardcover)

Worship is the dangerous act of waking up to God and God's purposes in the world. But something has gone wrong with our worship. Too often, worship has become a place of safety and complacency. It can be a narrowly private experience in which solitary individuals express their personal adoration. Even when we gather corporately, we often close our eyes to those around us, focusing on God but ignoring our neighbour.

But true biblical worship does not merely point us upward it should turn us outward as well.

In this prophetic wake-up call for the contemporary church, pastor Mark Labberton reconnects Christian worship with social justice. From beginning to end, worship must do justice and seek righteousness, translating into transformed lives that care for the poor and the oppressed.

Begin today to move beyond the comfort of safe worship to authentic worship that challenges injustice.
