continuous ourpourers of worship

[The following is a review of a work I recently completed by Harold Best. I highly recommend it if you ever have the opportunity to work through it]


It is rare these days that one is challenged on an intellectual and spiritual level that Harold Best exudes in this work. At 78 years old, I'm not sure of any author that has the life experience to contribute to such an undertaking. Unceasing Worship is by far the most challenging, yet rewarding book I have read on worship to date. Best even goes a step further by dealing with Biblical perspectives on the arts and relates worship to current culture in which there exists much of the experiential spectrum resulting in idolatry in which we are guilty of worshiping our methods and styles as opposed to living and relating to culture as a result of our continuous outpouring of ourself/selves as living sacrifices and going forth as a sweet aroma to spread the gospel of our Lord and Christ Jesus. If you want to gain new insight and renew what it means to live a life of continuous outpouring of worship, read this book. Be prepared to be challenged and have a dictionary at hand to clarify many of the big yet powerful and descriptive words employed by Best to paint a beautiful picture of what it means to live a life of "Unceasing Worship".
