I’m raising my hands, bowing down,
and roaring!
In Holy Roar: 7 Words That Will Change The Way You Worship, Chris
Tomlin and Darren Whitehead invite us to worship.
To praise.
Just like love has been simplified from its original four Hebrew forms, so
has praise. Tomlin and Whitehead explore
seven words for praise.
In ancient times, in the psalms, and
elsewhere in the Bible, the word praise is
used to mean praising with upraised hands, with bowed knees, with foolishness,
and with a roar. And of course with music.
This book is a quick read—eight
short chapters that include a story from Whitehead and a “Behind the Music”
section from Tomlin showing the inspiration for or an experience with his songs.
A must read for worship leaders, but maybe more for congregations so that they
catch the enthusiasm and begin it in the pews.
An invitation to roar. To worship.
To be free. To let loose. To turn our faces and bodies and praise to heaven.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®.
I was not required to write a positive review.
