I disclose that this book was given to me free of charge in exchange for a review. There is no content in this review that was required by Thomas Nelson for me to include.</p> <p>I just finished reading <i>Called To Worship</i>, an expositional study of worship written by Vernon Whaley of Liberty University. Exhaustively researched and carefully explained, Professor Whaley explores worship of the God of Christianity through the Bible. Stories and cultural meanings are taught, with application to 21st-century God-worship suggested as well.</p> <p>Be warned, this is not a feel-good, how-to-worship book. <i>Called To Worship</i> lays out the gentle but firm challenge that God Himself lays out throughout the Bible: Worship the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. No compromise. Nothing half-way. Whaley reminds readers in a media-filled, style-driven generation that worshiping God is completely about God. This is a fantastic study of worship to augment and challenge someone&#8217;s personal devotions, or to explore as a small group.</p> <p>Stars: 5+/5</p> Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:37:00 -0700 urn:uuid:6870f079-1891-4a12-a3ed-819bea247641 K-Lai http://www.k-lai.com/articles/2009/10/08/called-to-worship
