Description

Some envision believers singing praise songs and lifting their hands. Other see people bowed in fervent prayer or sitting quietly meditating on Scripture. While these images may represent expressions of worship, they do not convey a complete picture of the biblical concept of worship. What is authentic worship? As youth ministers in today's culture, how close to the mark of true worship are we leading our teens? What does it mean to live out worship in everyday life?

In his latest book, Worship-Centered Youth Ministry, Jon Middendorf tackles these tough questions and more. Beyond the typical ideas of worship, Middendorf explores the biblical definition and challenges the reader to move to a deeper understanding. Through describing a typical youth ministry program and offering principles for a worship-centered lifestyle, Middendorf directs youth workers on a journey toward a worship-centered youth ministry--a journey that will lead both the workers and their teens into a deeper, richer walk with Christ.
