Overview / About the Book

We are created to worship God. As we become true worshipers, we become fully human. And we find fulfillment in offering God our praise. These studies will help us discover what the Bible has to say about the God we adore and how our whole life can be dedicated to worship.

The studies and spiritual exercises in this guide introduce six key disciplines--Scripture study, confession, community, silence, obedience and prayer. Putting them into practice allows us to reorder our world, placing our deepest desire, intimacy with God, in the center of all things. We will discover the peace and joy which come when we are able to practice the presence of God.
