Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: Understanding the Call to Worship

By R.L. Evans

The Christian’s worship, praise, and adoration of God transcend the gathering together in churches. It extends into everyday life. The call to worship, praise, and adoration is not only for religious ceremonies and for assemblies, but it also has to characterize the believer’s lifestyle and existence. In this book, we will discuss the various dimensions of worship. Through the examination of biblical and religious terminology, a proper understanding of the believer’s Call to Worship is established.
