Summary: A Beautiful Vision of the Holy God
Review: A challenging and invigorating read, this book renews the christian's vision of God.

It made me think again about what Worship truly entails. I shall have to come back to this book and re-read it and meditate on what it says.

Summary: Rich and touching, Wright gets at the heart of "Church".
Review: This book was an excellent read, my first of Tom Wright. From his context setting chapter on Levi, to his discourse on the church in Corinth, I was always challenged to reflect on my own views of the church. Taking from his leadership role at Lichfield Cathedral, Wright is able to describe the role of the church-goer and build a picture around "worship" and "mission". Deftly weaving in his New Testament scholarship, Wright leaves the reader with a fuller understanding of his role as a member of the Christian church.

Rating:
Summary: TRUE MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Review: Wright is a skilled academic and researcher. He also is a man very committed to faith in action based on his deep understanding of the New Testament. For All God's Worth is Wright's call to all Christians to focus on worship and mission and to end divisive behavior. Wright recalls the healing and redemptive actions throughout the ministry of Jesus to illustrate how Christians should continue His work. He sees the redemptive consequence of Jesus as the Christians call to bring about the Kingdom Of God on Earth as it is in Heaven. Believers do this when they begin reflecting the one true God and not other gods of today.

This book is an easy read and can be broken into parts (each chapter is about 25 pages). It will inspire clergy, academic, and layperson alike.

Summary: TRUE MISSION OF THE CHURCH
Review: Wright will push the conservative traditional mindset. I thank God for people like him. Who are not afraid to tell it like it is. Who see the church and it's mission not as a religion but as the way. The way that Jesus intended for us to follow. And how our vocation is to be a light to follow, not a set of rules to follow.
