Enter the Worship Circle

by Ben Pasley

ENTER THE WORSHIP CIRCLEExperience the powerful art of worship through a mystical written journey. Enter the Worship Circle is an experiential, modern pursuit of the true essence of worship and intimacy with God.The modern mind is at war with itself. Addicted to technology, but craving the spiritual. Demanding knowledge, but longing for mystery. Human achievement has yet to answer the passion for transcendent experience.Enter the Worship Circle is a journey into the center of this conflict. Author Ben Pasley gets outside of religious tradition and delves deep into the mystery of worship, interaction with God, and the unfolding adventure of eternity. He weaves together storytelling, prophecy and personal reflections into a journey that fuses both worlds without apology. This spiritual journey is written in the language of a generation that, having divorced religion, is still desperate to build a relationship with God.This book does more than point to spirituality — it is an innovative, practical approach to spiritual life. Across America and around the world there has been a rediscovery of the practice of worship. For many, this has inspired a new pursuit of things spiritual. For others, it has awakened a new interest in finding God. And for some, it has sparked a rediscovery of the Christian faith. Enter the Worship Circle is a journey into the powerful art of worship, and a handbook of challenges for the spiritually hungry.Seekers and mature Christians alike will love the unconventional, visionary approach this book takes to discovery intimacy with God through the mystical activity of worship. Enter the Worship Circle will change how you view worship.

One the best books I've ever read about Authentic Worship of Jesus Christ. I will recommended this to any and every "follower of the Way."

[Bryan Atkinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredibly creative, different vantage points are woven together into one cohesive theme about discovering God's true nature and him being worthy of our worship.

I was given this book as a gift by someone who thought I might find it interesting. I did. However, while there were definitely parts that I could readily identify with (such as most of the sections written by Java Boy, a coffee lover), other parts I found much more difficult to relate to, particularly those of a more artistic and expressive nature because these characteristics are not abundant in me. Nevertheless, the book provided valuable exposure to the diversity of what it means to worship.

Read this while I was questioning things concerning church and "worship". While it is written uniquely, the main point of democratizing the act of musical praise is needed. It's a great tool to open up discussion of the "democratization" of every aspect of the Body.

As for practical song-writing help, it is encouraging in its simplicity. Focuses on expressing to your Creator rather than crafting a catchy hit.

If you enjoy enter the worship circle as a worship band you might be interested in this book.

This book has the feel of Blue like jazz without the drive to read it. It was okay, I was expecting more but it was still a decent read.
