279 p. ; 23 cm. Move your church from small-picture to big-picture worship A pastor's role in shaping worship is vital. But what if preaching isn't just one part of worship? What if preaching is worship? In Preaching as Worship, veteran preacher Michael Quicke encourages those who preach to open their eyes afresh to glorious big-picture worship-grounded in Trinitarian theology and focused on the pivotal role of Scripture as it directs gathered worship for community formation-urging them to restore worship as an encounter with God. This unique and insightful book offers a clear call for preachers to rethink their worship responsibilities and the importance of preaching-for the sake of their church members and their God."
