"But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24).
How well do we know about worship we offer to God? Author Dr. Jaerock Lee has written in detail in Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth everything about "worship," the pathway of blessings and the gist of any believer's life in Christ. The book answers every question a believer may have on spiritual worship, including the purpose of worship, when and in what ways we are to worship God.
"Worship" is a ritual through which reverence is expressed for one's god. In other words, it is a ritual in which, through giving Him honor, praise, and glory, believers lift God on high and give Him thanks. God seeks and blesses all those who worship Him in spirit and truth today as He had done during Old Testament times.
Jesus Christ, who had offered Himself as a righteous sacrifice and a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, is the example after which all believers must take and the only way through which we go before God. Worship in New Testament times, having originated from offering of sacrifices during Old Testament times, is not a religious ritual or institution devised by man; it is a delicate plan of salvation of God who loves us exceedingly.
It is easy to regard the laws on offering of sacrifices from Old Testament times as irrelevant to those of us living in New Testament times. However, Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth tells the readers of profound spiritual truths and God's great love for us embedded in the laws on offering sacrifices, and reminds them of the truth that is as precious as pearl. It also elaborates on the kind of worship with which God is pleased and, by providing an indicator to the proper attitude on worshipping God, seeks to place the readers onto the path of receiving God's answers and blessings.
Groundbreaking contents that can be grasped at a glance
* Straightforward explanations on Old Testament's laws on offering sacrifices
Laws on offering sacrifices featured in Leviticus at an initial glance feel difficult and dry and seem to be repeating the same information again and again. Once the reader has grasped the spiritual significance one by one, however, he will realize that the Book carries information crucial to even those of us living in New Testament times. Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth offers straightforward explanations on the laws, procedures, and the significance of offering sacrifices and the providence by which God gave His people the laws on offering sacrifices.
It also elaborates on the intimate relationship between offering of sacrifices and our salvation and blessings and the ways in which believers are ought to apply them in their every-day lives.
By allowing us an opportunity to review our attitude on worship and our lives, Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth shows us the way to receive blessings.
* Vivid pictorials of the sanctuary and the most holy place in which sacrifices were offered during Old Testament times
The tabernacle in which sacrifices were offered to God during Old Testament times is a model on which the church is based today.
In Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth are vivid pictorials featuring the sanctuary; the most holy place; the altar; basins; the lampstand; the table for the show bread; the altar of incense; and the ark of Testimony (the ark of the covenant), all of which enable each reader to feel and understand the methods and procedures in offering of sacrifices as if he is witnessing them firsthand.
* Testimonies of believers who have received blessings after they worshipped God in spirit
Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth contains a column in which testimonies of believers whose lives have been transformed and who have received God's blessings after they offered to Him spiritual worship.
The column serves to remind each reader of the benefits of worshipping God in spirit and in truth. This book tells the readers that worship, which is not applied to every-day life, is not true worship and that we can receive God's blessings in spirit and in flesh only when every aspect of our lives is offered to Him as worship with which He is pleased.

We recommend this book!
* I had no idea that the laws on offering sacrifices in Leviticus, which I had always felt was flat and thus read only habitually, were so intimately connected to my life in Christ. As services has come to touch my heart and fill it with grace, reading this book was definitely a turning point in my life in Christ. - kid07
* I wholeheartedly recommend this short yet very powerful book. I think I have been neglecting the fundamentals of worship. It's been two decades since I accepted the Lord and, even if I had gone to church twice a week, I would have attended more than 2,000 services. I'm so thankful to have realized now what I did through this book. - tghm7
