Praise Is His Gracious Choice: Corporate Worship Expressing Biblical Truth

“In Praise Is His Gracious Choice, Dr. Tom Nettles clearly and succinctly demonstrates that true biblical worship originates with God, not man. Believers worship God because he commands such worship, and we willingly obey out of a desire to please him and be conformed to the image of Christ. This thoroughly biblical and theologically robust work is vital in fostering continued reformation within the church to bring all worship that would be God-centered, Christ-exalting, and Spirit-led into conformity with the truth of Scripture.” Dustin Benge

“In a day of increasing confusion over what churches should be doing when they gather for corporate worship, Tom Nettles provides a refreshingly simple remedy: regulate worship by the Word of God. As Nettles so helpfully elucidates, God alone has the prerogative to determine how he wants to be worshiped, and so it incumbent upon God’s people to worship him according to what he has commanded in Scripture—no more, and no less. In twelve engaging chapters, Nettles explores those instructions, presenting guidelines and principles for a theology of worship grounded in the Bible. Through these principles, Nettles advocates for Scripture-guided worship in which we read the Word, pray the Word, sing the Word, and preach the Word. I pray that church leaders will give careful attention to Nettles’ call to return to the Word in our theology and practice of Christian worship.” Scott Aniol, Associate Professor and Director of Doctoral Worship Studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
