Synopsis

Have we replaced the glory of God with our church programmes. If so, is there anything we can do to get the glory of God back into our gatherings and individual lives? While we have good music, well-written songs and history to learn from, we can still miss having the presence of God in our meetings the way it was in Bible times. In this challenging and often provocative book, Jarrod Cooper deals with these important questions. Providing plenty of biblical illustrations to support his concerns, Jarrod shakes up much of our conventional thinking on the subject or worship. Can we, for example only worship in the presence of the microphone, worship leader and powerpoint. What if all these were stripped away and it was just God and us? What would our worship be like then?

In this honest and challenging book, Jarrod both takes us back to the basics of worship and points us towards new frontiers in the pursuit of God s glory. It is deeply spiritual, highly practical, and I hope it will be made widely available.
Stuart Bell, Leader, New Life Christian Fellowship, Lincoln

Glory in the Church is a valuable contribution towards the new move of worship which is beginning to sweep God s Church, focusing people on what it really means to glorify the King enthroned on high. It is time to take our eyes off of ourselves and worship him!
Colin Urquhart, Pastor and founder, Kingdom Faith

God has promised, as surely as he lives, to fill the earth with his glory (Hab. 2:14). For this to happen we must see his glory fill the Church. Jarrod leaves no stone unturned as he seeks, through the Word and God's dealings with him, to teach, inspire and enlighten us in how to move as pilgrims towards the fulfilment of the promise.
David Hadden, worship leader and songwriter

This excellent book by Jarrod issues a challenge to those who have encamped around the outward form of contemporary worship as an end in itself, and encourages us all to pursue a higher call of experiencing the tangible presence of God in our lives, homes and church gatherings.
Dave Bilbrough, international songwriter and worship leader
