The Way of a Worshiper (Hardcover)

This book is not about music. It's not even about going to church. It's about living your life as an offering of worship to God. It's about tapping into the source of power to live the Christian life. And its about discovering the secret to friendship with God.

Through his very practical, engaging, and at times surprising insights, Buddy shares truths from Scripture and from life that will help you understand in a new and deeper way just what it means to be a worshiper.

God is looking for worshipers. His invitation to friendship is open and genuine. Will you take him up on his offer? Will you give yourself to him in worship? Then come walk the way of a worshiper and discover the secret to friendship with God.

"Though this looks like a short book, it takes a long time to read, not because it is complicated and theoretical, but because it gives you so much to think about. Over and over, you'll find yourself saying, Yes! That's right! Of course! I can do this! Read this book slowly, a chapter a day is about the right pace. Read it with a pencil in your hand so you can underline the thoughts and phrases that are especially meaningful to you. Pray the prayers at the end of each chapter, and put into practice what Buddy teaches you in this book. Your life will be richer for it, and your friendship with God will grow deeper and stronger."

He is, quite frankly, one of the most gifted Bible teachers I know.
