Rick Muchow works closely with the well-known pastor, Rick Warren.  In his book “The Worship Answer Book,” Mr. Muchow explains the purpose of worship, the basics, how, why, where, when and history of worship in both the Old and New Testament.  He shares his vast experience with the reader.

Mr. Muchow begins by stating a four-part scriptural foundation:

  • *Biblical worship must be done in love.  No love—no worship (1 Corinthians 13)
  • *Biblical worship is always accompanied by humility and reverent fear (Isaiah 66:2)
  • *Biblical worship is commanded by God (Luke 10:27)
  • *Biblical worship involves surrendering your entire life as an offering to God. (Romans 12:1)

The author stresses several facts concerning worship.  The Holy Spirit is the real worship leader.  True worship is surrendering completely to God.  Worship has more to do with your attitude and perspective than with any action.  Children can and should be encouraged to worship.   These are just a few facts he shares with his readers.

 From the moment I saw this book I was intrigued.  I laid aside the book I was reading and picked this one up.  The cover alone grabs your attention, with the cross and bright colors.  I found it interesting, easy to read and understand.  I came away with a different perspective of worship.  I would highly recommend this book to other Christians.
