Celebration of Praise, A, updated and exp. ed.: Stand Amazed at Who God Is!

We sing it, we say it, we think it: "Praise God " But what does it truly mean to praise God, and how can a time of praise become a refreshing and integral part of prayer and devotions? According to Dick Eastman, all true praise must focus on God's nature and character. A Celebration of Praise begins, then, with a biblical exploration of who God is. Tapping into Scripture and the insights of noted theologians and writers such as S. D. Gordon, A. W. Tozer, W. B. Pope, H. Bavinck, and J. I. Packer, Eastman encourages readers to pause and reflect on the facets of God's infinite nature. The second part of the book is a seven-week, hands-on guide to praising God each day. Forty-nine praise words (infinite, accessible, powerful) are presented with appropriate Scripture references. Readers will also find one meditation for each week that explores in depth God's love, holiness, majesty, justice, or another characteristic. A unique and inspiring classic, A Celebration of Praise will help readers develop a meaningful praise experience as part of their daily worship-so that every devotional hour can become a cause for celebration.
