The Theft of Worship: How to Ratify Your Position in Christ and Frame Your Reality In Truth by the Language and Lyrics of Your Worship

Words matter. Do the words you release accurately reflect your position in Christ?

Written for committed Christians who genuinely love God and desire to worship Him in spirit and in truth, this book examines the validity of what is currently popular in Christian worship.
Well-meaning believers regularly sing songs led by worship leaders or songwriters and sung by the masses. But do those words accurately reflect the heart of the individual worshipper? If words matter, does singing those lyrics compromise theological truths and detract from your position in Christ?

This book highlights your union with Christ and your New Covenant reality with all its corresponding privileges and responsibilities. It challenges you to evaluate the words you may have been singing, and it invites you to consider using your own accurate and intentional words—straight from your heart to God’s, just as you do in prayer. You may find that you’ve been missing out on some of what God has for you here and now. Read on. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
