An Ancient Worship Movement by Greg Gordon Book Review

About the Book:

Find an Ancient Faith that will Transform Your Life.

Beyond the noise of a busy western world lies the need to worship God for Himself alone. So many different denominational ideologies and techniques of Church growth exist but what did the early Apostles and believers do? There is a need for “An Ancient Worship Movement” where we rediscover and implement older Biblical Church practices that were pre-denominational.

This book will help you:
- Rediscover Ancient practices lost to many evangelicals
- Renew your intimate personal walk with God
- Renew A passion for lost souls
- Experience personal spiritual revival
- Be equipped to start an [Mission] House Church

My Review:

This movement calls believers back to their roots of the early church. Gordon does a good job of reviewing early heresies and suggests heresies abound today. Some of the particular features include encouraging readers to have a heart for the lost and to hold to the centrality of Jesus in worship. Some surprises for me were encouragement to observe the liturgical year, make the sign of the cross, understand the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and infant baptism. There are good lessons on prayer with several historical prayers included.

This is a good book for Christians who are interested in how the early church worshiped or are looking to evaluate their own worship.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
