by Timothy Brooks (Author)
Why do we do what we do in worship? Why do we sing, read Scripture, and preach sermons? The Formational Power of Worship contends that these questions and others like them are the very ones pastors, musicians, and other ministry leaders should be asking. For these leaders, meaningful worship can also be intentional worship, engaging both the heart and the mind so that people can be shaped into disciples of Christ. This book invites you to begin this "journey of why" by examining different elements of worship and exploring how they can better become formational moments in the life of the church.
