Book Reviews of Pure Praise
Book Review: Excellent resource!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard about Pure Praise, A Heart-Focused Bible Study on Worship from Rick Warren's weekly e-mail to pastors. I'm a minister at a university campus-focussed church and a member of the worship team. After reading Pure Praise, my depth of worship has dramatically increased. Moore has written a book that is extremely approachable and easy to relate to for young people, but also has a lot of meat for the more mature. He's written a good blend of material that focuses on the Lord, worshipers in the Bible, and practical advice for modern worshipers. He is respectful of denominational differences and recognizes that some forms of worship aren't as "popular" today. He encourages the reader to step out of their comfort zone and into a place of Pure Praise.
The way I read the book each morning was with my Bible program and a notebook (Word document) open. I recorded 17 pages of scriptures, Strong's Concordance references, quotes, and notes that I find myself referring to frequently. [I'm starting to write worship songs and have found a lot of song ideas in the themes of the book. The same would hold true for Word study topics, sermon topics, etc.]
The book is not meant to be read cover-to-cover in one sitting, but rather it drives you daily to the Word and to prayer.
Here is a brief rundown of the weekly topics:
Week One: Understanding Worship
Week Two: Understanding Praise
Week Three: The God We Worship
Week Four: Hearing God's Voice
Week Five: Five essentials of effective worship services
Week Six: Qualities of Leadership
Week Seven: Using Our Tools Wisely
Week Eight: 5 goals for lead worshipers
Week Nine: Five Keys to Finishing Well
I have now given my copy to our worship leader in hopes that our whole worship team might go through the study. If you've gotten this far in the review, I'd advise you to spend the few bucks to buy it. You'll find it is money well invested!
Summary of Pure Praise
If your church's worship is on autopilot, this 9-week study will inspire new passion and understanding. The focus bypasses technique and timing; instead it zeroes in on the hearts of worship leaders and worshippers. An ideal study for any worship team or adult group grappling with the questions, What is worship--and how can I worship more authentically?Education Books
