Would you consider yourself a worshiper of Jesus? Would you say that you are a person that seeks to grow in your intimacy with Jesus? Do you seek to have a constant attitude of adoration of Jesus? Then I would definitely recommend this book. Facedown is a short and yet powerful book on the topic of worship.
I have to be honest with you. I have often been asked throughout my life, "What is your favorite music?" And in responding to this question, I always answer, "Worship!" I love to worship! I love listening to worship music! I love to spend time in worship as much as I can!
And yet as I think about it, I believe that our lives as Christians should be displaying a constant attitude and lifestyle of worship!
Jesus said in John 4:23-24 "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
I find that the more that I spend time in the Word, the more I learn about who my God is and the more that I learn about who He is, the more my heart and mind stand in awe of who He is. In my life, this will naturally lead to an attitude of worship. To be honest, I do pray for you and I that we would have more of a desire to worship than we have ever had in the past. I pray that our response in worship would not be repetitious, apathetic, or a mere just going through the motions, but that the more that we understand who our amazing God is, the more that we would respond to Him in our worship, thanksgiving, and adoration.
I just want to share with you one little quote from the book, maybe it will spark an interest in you getting the book...
