This book is about worship. It's about how absolutely important worship is and how, perhaps, it is the highest calling and occupation of the believer. But it's not about excellence of musicianship in played and sung worship. It's not about personalities or individuals, or specially gifted folks, or style, or technique. It's not a 'how to' book, or a workbook, or a 'here's a service schedule that's bound to work' type book. It's about how God calls...

True manhood, polished by the hand of God, is nothing short of an awe-inspiring gift to womanhood. Contrary to the vibe that a title like God's Gift to Women gives off, this book is not merely about how men can more effectively relate to women. Men can never hope to become a gift to women until they gain a complete vision of Christ-built manhood. We live in a generation of "burpin' and scratchin'" male mediocrity. Most of our modern-day examples of...
