The Promise of Heaven: Discovering Our Eternal Home by Douglas Connelly. InterVarsity Press, 2000, Hardcover with jacket. A small, attractive book suitable to give as a gift. This thought-provoking book helps us  focus on what the Bible has revealed about Heaven and being face to face with the Lord. One of the aspects the author focuses on is the importance of worship in Heaven and how we can be preparing for that in our worship now. What Mr. Connelly shares will encourage and challenge us as  we seek to live faithful lives in preparation for the day we meet Jesus and give our account of our lives to Him. As Mr. Connelly presents each characteristic of Heaven that he finds presented in the Bible he follows it with a section called "Living Now in the Light of Not Yet." that helps us apply the new insights to our lives now so that we will be more prepared for Heaven when we get there. I highly recommend this books to those who long to hear Jesus say: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

The Worship Maze: Finding a Style to Fit Your Church by Paul Basden. Trade paper, InterVarsity press, 1999. One problem facing many churches is how to meet the worship service expectations of members from different generations who may have different tastes in worship music and styles. Some like it dignified and traditional with organ and/or piano music to accompany the hymns from the hymnal. Others like it contemporary, with lots of praise songs and maybe even electric guitars and drums. How can a church meet the needs of all its members?

This book seek to explore the answers to questions that are being raised in the worship committees of churches everywhere. Mr. Basden, a pastor and professor, believes worship should be a celebration -- not a source of conflict. In this book he leads church folk through what he terms the worship maze and reviews five prominent approaches to worship: liturgical, traditional, revivalist, praise, and seeker-sensitive. He lays out the essentials of any genuine worship, points out the strengths and weaknesses of each of the five styles, and shows how your church can arrive at the most fitting style for its own services. 149 pages followed by notes and suggested readings.
