I am reviewing a copy of Worship and the World to Come through InterVarsity Press and /IvP Academic and Netgalley:





We, Christians sing because we are a people of hope.  But our hope is unlike any other kind of hope.  We are neither optimists, nor escapists.  Christian hope is founded on the promise that we like Christ will be raised from the dead.  But how is that hope both expressed as well as experienced in Christian worship?





In this book Glenn Packiam, pastor, theologian, and songwriter explores what Christians sing about when they sing about hope and what kind of hope they experience when they worship together.  Through his Analysis and reflection, we find that Christian worship is crucial to both the proclamation and the formation of Christian hope.




I found Worship and the World to Come to be worthy of five out of five stars!





Happy Reading!
