ABSTRACT

Two of the evangelistic worship volumes represented here is written by the pastors of the two foremost seeker-oriented megachurches. While their books are concerned not only with worship, but rather with the full range of seeker ministry, they do clearly describe the approach to worship so central to their ministry models. The third volume, Worship Evangelism, focuses more specifically and thoroughly on the subject of worship. While author Sally Morgenthaler, a ministry practitioner and consultant, affirms seeker-sensitive ministry, she suggests a major adjustment to the seeker church model. The evangelistic worship authors share an overriding commitment to evangelism, and draw their vision of a burgeoning church largely from Acts. These writers have a notably high regard for worship, regarding it as the ultimate human occupation; they see all other ministries of the church including evangelism as subsidiary to it. Understanding this is particularly important in the case of this evangelistic worship literature.
