Biblical insights for today's church The word 'worship' can mean different things to different people. Some see it as just singing; others see it as prayer. As this book reveals, worship is less about a preferred music style and more an attitude of the heart towards God. It explores what we can learn about worship from the life of Jesus, and offers down-to-earth teaching and practical examples to help creative worship flourish in the local church. The authors remind us that Jesus-inspired worship can lead to Christ-like attitudes towards God, one another, and the wider world. 'Sam and Sara have spent serious time thinking and engaging with some of the key issues surrounding contemporary workship and their book is an insightful and thought-provoking read' - Al Gordon, Holy Trinity Brompton
