Immerse yourself in the transcendent nature of Christian worship with this collection of short devotions. Written by Pastor Mark Paustian, the author of the well-known Prepared to Answer books, each devotion explores a different aspect of worship, revealing centuries of gospel-centered traditions that have stood the test of time. Poetic and profound, these devotions demonstrate what Jesus meant when he said, “Wherever two or three gather in my name, there am I.” As you read, you will gain a fresh understanding of the church year, the sacraments, the worship space, and much more.
If you have ever wondered why Lutherans worship the way they do or where God is hiding in the seemingly ordinary parts of worship, Our Worth to Him is the perfect book for you!
One of the best devotional books I've read recently. Paustian wrote this book to coincide with the publishing of the new WELS hymnal, Christian Worship. Each devotion is about 3 pages long, packed with insight and well-written. Devotions cover the church year, why we worship, how we worship, who leads and participates in worship, and how it all applies to Christians. I'd love to have all believers read this book. Highest recommendation.
An imoressive devotional that makes the reader ponder the depths of the grace of God and the riches, both ancient and new, of Lutheran worship. I will be reading this book again.
