The Pillars of Praise & The Posture of Worship, start to finish

This book explores the central question: what is praise and worship? It begins by examining the historical and cultural context in which early worshipers understood worship, then traces how those ideas developed from ancient Chaldean practices to Christian tradition.

Samuel's aim is to help readers think more carefully about worship, understand its biblical and historical roots, and inspire a deeper pursuit of living as true worshipers. A 5 by 8 inch paperback, 110 pages.

What leaders are saying

“This is a much needed resource for pastors, worship leaders, and every believer who longs to move beyond routine into revelation.”

Bishop Kevin Wallace

“Samuel carries a rare depth for his age, an old soul with a sincere love for theology, history, and the Word of God. This book is not theory, it is the overflow of a life rooted in depth and devotion.”

Autumn FitchExecutive Director, Redemption School of Ministry

“Thoughtfully researched and beautifully written, this book takes us from the shallows of over familiarity and out into the deep blue ocean of heavenly wonder. We believe it should be essential reading for all Churches and Bible Schools.”

Kevin and Rose SambrookRhema Restoration Ministries, Northern Ireland

“I spent the last 15 years of my life traveling the world teaching about worship, nothing brings me more joy than to see a new generation being raised up that will carry this message that is so dear to the Lord to the finish line.”

Jose DiazFather. Husband. Friend.

“I have witnessed with my own eyes how worship has totally transformed Samuel's life, which makes this book even better, because he lives it!”
