God's Eye View Worshiping Your Way To A Higher Perspective

Summary: so awesome!
Review: i have been so blessed with this book. Tenney wrote it in simple language that anyone can understand. He uses his personal examples from his life, from his relationships with his daughters to know how God is our Father! He emphasizes how we have to worship in whatever circumstances, and everything would look smaller than they appear to be, when we worship our Lord Jesus Christ. This book has been just very insightful in many ways, a must read.

Summary: A contemporary guide to worship
Review: If you have ever felt frustrated and unfulfilled by what passes for "worship" in some churches, or in your personal relationship with God, then this book could crystalize many things for you! I loved Tenney's illustration about how we like to "gather around the church coffeepot" to talk ABOUT God, but virtually ignore His very presence there with us! I remember feeling exactly that way before, I have wept through church services in years past, not because I felt the Holy Spirit there, but because I didn't! It was just as he described in the book, everything was ABOUT Him, yet He was not allowed in. This book helps us direct our attention TO our loving and wise Heavenly Father.
Tenney tends to be repetetive and belabor his points in this book too, but apparently that's just his style and we'll have to live with it to receive his message. Jesus makes more of an appearance in this book than He did in the God Chasers; I do not believe Tenney intended to exclude or bypass Jesus ever, rather, many of his scripture illustrations are from the Old Testament where Christ is not yet manifest in person. Also, I think Tenney ASSUMES we understand our salvation is based on the finished work of Christ. Perhaps this is one point he SHOULD clarify more. I doubt an unbeliever would read this book. If he tried, he would be confused as a goose trying to fly in a snowstorm.
In summary, this book has me going around singing that song, "I CAN'T WAIT TO WORSHIP THE LORD!"

Summary: A book that will bring hope & encouragement into your life
Review: My aunt got me this book as a Birthday gift for me along with the God's Eye View Worshiping Your Way To A Higher Perspective Workbook & The Up Where You Belong Devotional book the same week I saw Tommy Tenney preach at Brooksville Assembly Of God. This book has helped me become better worshiper & a much more stronger christian. Tommy Tenney explains that Worship has that same ability to "Pick you up". Uplifting worship is the "backstage pass" that ushers you into the heavenly throne room where you see things from God's Eye View. Life changing worship not only "Shrinks" our troubles; it magnifies God & Passionate worship will reveal to you the "Throne zone secrets". I Highly recommend this book along with the God's Eye View Worshiping Your Way To A Higher Perspective Workbook & The Up Where You Belong Devotional book that is associated with the book God's Eye View Worshiping Your Way To A Higher Perspective. These books will help you not only become a better worshiper but a much more stronger christian & this will draw you closer to the Lord. If you need hope & encouragement in your life then these sets of books that I mentioned at the end of the review I highly recommend them & share this book with someone who needs hope & encouragement in their life.
