Authentic Worship: The Path to Greater Unity with God

By A W Tozer and A.W. Tozer

Book Overview

Worship is central to our relationship with God. Yet worship in today's churches is influenced more by the stage performances and trappings of secular concerts, and less on what God himself show us in the Bible.

Knowing the importance and power of true worship, A.W. Tozer preached on the topic regularly throughout his life. Here, for the first time in print, are his thoughts on what it really means to praise and honor the Lord. He exposes how many believers have unknowingly adopted a shallow, manipulative, cultural view of worship because we don't know who God is. Digging into Scripture, he reveals the character of God and shows how that directly impacts and deepens both our worship of him and our relationship with him.

The worship we begin here on earth should have its roots in heaven--and how we worship today will prepare us to worship throughout eternity before God Almighty.

Very Meaningful Messages in This Book

Book Review: Authentic Worship by A. W. Tozer A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) wrote numerous books during his lifetime. He was a self-taught theologian and pastor.(1) This particular work has been edited by James L Snyder. While Mr. Tozer wrote during the 20th Century, his thoughts speak of concerns of present-day evangelical Christians. The book has rather short chapters, each beginning with a verse or a passage of scripture. At the end of each chapter, the words to a Christian hymn follows. The author and the editor have broken down the act of worship into various morsels that we need to consider as we evaluate our worship experience. I enjoy reading Tozer’s writings. I especially liked this book because, in it Mr. Tozer gave me a few things to think on as I prepare to worship. One point Mr. Tozer made that stood out to me is that we have to experience God before we can know Him. I enjoyed the hymns chosen for the end of each chapter. Most of them were familiar to me and I knew their tunes. I recommend this book to anyone who feels the lack of “something” in their worship of God. This book would make a good group study book. I received this book free from Bethany House, division of Baker Publishing Group. All they asked of me was that I give a truthful, honest review.
