Radical Worship: What Sunday Morning Can Never Give You

by Larry D. Ellis, Gary McCoy (Other), Barbara Russo (Editor)

Overview

In Radical Worship: What Sunday Morning Can Never Give You, the reader will learn that
the foundation of all our lives is the worship of God. The author reclaims the biblical
meaning of worship, stepping away from the popular meanings used today. He discusses
the direct relationship between submitting to God and the re-creation of who we are in
Christ. He focuses on the words that are translated worship in both the Old Testament
and the New Testament. Additionally, the significance of worship is examined through
Jesus' responses to the question, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" The author
critiques some of the narrowness of formulaic Christianity and unfolds some of the many
expressions of worship that Jesus explicitly affirms.

Editorial Reviews

Having read Radical Worship earlier, I decided to use the book for my small group from church. While all of us thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, some of us have been transformed into radial worshipers. Who knew? As Christians, we think we have it right based on the Scripture we like, but Dr. Ellis gives us a slap in reminding us that the Bible is the truth, even when it seems to contradict itself. We were fortunate to have Dr. Ellis lead several discussions. I highly recommend it.

The best and most though provoking book I have ever read on this subject. Veryly scholarly presented.

Amazon - Malin F. Jones

This overarching, big picture of worship that this book presents is gratifying. It included a deeper look into how worship changes us at the root level. So many worship books stop short after providing a definition and the history that is related to worship. Ellis' book speaks to the spiritually significant matters related to becoming formed in Christ as result of "radical" worship. I am glad to see something fresh and with a different and deeper perspective.
