Inspired by Father Alfred Delp, who wrote a meditation titled The Shaking Reality of Advent while imprisoned by the Nazis during WWII, Bishop Peter B. Price has written a series of reflections and prayers to be read on each day of Advent. Each reflection is written that we may be 'shaken and brought to a realisation of our selves', in order to gain a new understanding of God's promise of redemption and release.

I am often disturbed or disappointed by what I experience when I "go to church",' says David Peterson. 'At first glance the issues seem to be practical... Mostly, however, these practical failings seem to reveal a poor understanding of why we gather, little awareness of how to lead a gathering effectively, and an inadequate grasp of what we should expect from our time together.' In response, Peterson offers this accessible and stimulating exposition, intended to help everyone involved in planning and leading church services think more biblically and creatively about this important ministry. Our ultimate aim should be to honour and glorify God as we take our part in the edification of his church. 'We encounter God by listening to what he has revealed to us in Scripture and by responding to the work of his Son, as the gospel directs. The gift of his Spirit enables us to minister his truth to one another and to take our part in the building of his church. In biblically informed singing, in reading and reflecting on the Bible together, in biblically driven prayer and praise, and in sharing the Lord's Supper together, God confronts us with his character and will for us and makes it possible for us to submit to and serve him appropriately in every area of our lives.'

This book, "The Glory of Yahweh" will inspire everyone who wants a closer relationship with God. Know God, feel God, touch God and let God touch you. We need to go back to the altar of praising and worshipping God. Since the age of 5 years - the Lord has had His hands over my life, not just for protection. It goes beyond that - it's an all around blessing. I heard the call to lift up His name and worship Him. God's purpose was for me to lift up His name. I felt God was taking me through tests of what it takes to be a worshipper. I felt I was on a journey of experiences with God. It felt like a training field for what was to come. My mother waited on God throughout the hard times concerning my life. At times she thought I was going to go to heaven before my time. God preserved my life to worship Him. Worship The Lord in the beauty of Holiness. Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and every thing else will fall in place. Worship is a place of knowing God personally. It's a place of drawing strength from God, and a place that is refreshing and uplifting. Let's go back to a place of praising and worshipping God our father. Let's go back to the throne room of God.
