Synopsis

Worship isn’t just something we do—it’s the purpose of our existence. Every week, Christians come together to share a taste of heaven itself, where all of God’s redeemed people will exalt His holy name forever. But what’s really going on when we worship? And what’s worship supposed to look like in the life of the church?In Let Us Worship God, Dr. Derek Thomas addresses the “how” and “why” of Christian worship. May we worship God however we want? Do we need the church, or can we worship alone? What are the necessary elements of a worship service? These and other questions find their answers in these pages, leading us to a greater understanding of worship as life’s highest privilege and richest joy.

Goodreads review by Cassie on April 15, 2022

In a time where individualism is considered greater than any kind of group activity or identity, people don’t see the point in corporate identity. The Church is just as affected by this cultural shift as the rest of Western society. But is individual worship, without being attached to a Church body,......more

Goodreads review by Jarrod Reid on May 17, 2022

This is an intersection book. I think there’s some really great aspects that I can pull from this, such as how we view the Sabbath and the Lord’s Day. But I think the overall tone of the book and how he justifies some of his arguments really bother me. He speaks of this “silence” in scripture to jus......more

Goodreads review by Matt on December 27, 2023

I always enjoy anything by Derek Thomas. It’s never very theologically deep, but then again, I don’t think it’s supposed to be. And mentally, his writing is supposed to remind us of the fundamentals. And that’s what’s going on here. He draws attention to the so-called “worship wars” where people are......more
