Worship in the Shape of Scripture

Mitman demonstrates how the structure common to the worship of most denominations is rooted in the Scriptures themselves . . . He raises essential questions . . . about broad themes and even housekeeping chores that each worshiping community should consider for the sake of faithful praise.

Worship in the Shape of Scripture - first published in 2001 - is a practical resource for worship planners and leaders that provides guidelines for applying homiletic concepts to all areas of worship planning.

Due to its success, it has been revised and updated, and includes a two-part DVD. Part I: "Worship in the Shape of Scripture" shows the author summarizing the book with a live audience and will teach how to understand the structure of worship. Part II: "Bulletins of Common Prayer" is an expansion of chapter 6 and provides a practical, thorough process of preparing bulletins.
