Called to Worship

In ‘Called to Worship,’ Vernon Whaley takes the reader through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation examining key concepts of true worship. This book shows how central worship is to every aspect of our lives and that principles of authentic worship are found throughout the Scriptures. This is a timely book, as today the term worship conjures images of musical styles, emotionalism and methodology, whereas worship ought to call to mind the greatness of God.

This book challenged me to examine the length and breadth of the Bible for principles of worship. While this sounds like a long and daunting task, Whaley’s conversational and authentic writing style made it feel like an adventure rather than a chore. Throughout the book, I was inspired to hear the Bible as a call for all creation to enter into a worshipful relationship with our loving, holy Creator.

This book has the depth to satisfy the desire of students and teachers for a reliable and thorough text on worship, yet expresses these deep truths in such a practical way that anyone interested in seeing growth in their worship life will find encouragement in its pages.
