Following up on her best selling Reaching Out without Dumbing Down, Marva Dawn offers biblically grounded, experience-based insights to help churches navigate beyond today's destructive worship wars and to stimulate renewal in the worship and life of congregations.

The first major section of the book examines the postmodern, media-saturated, consumerist culture that makes worship difficult yet absolutely essential. The next section focuses on keeping God at the center of worship. Other sections of the book explore issues of taste, forming faith in children, word choices, hospitality in worship, and the challenges of being church for the world. The book also includes nine Scripture-based sermons and questions for further discussion.

In contrast to writers who advocate worship for utilitarian purposes, Dawn concentrates on worship's royal dimension, its God-ward focus. A Royal Waste of Time amplifies Dawn's earlier argument that churches need to wrangle seriously with the true purpose of worship in order to employ the tools and forms that best enfold participants in the splendor of worshiping God. Only worship filled with the splendor of God, Dawn writes, will lead to genuine adoration of God and faithful formation of his people.

INDESTRUCTIBLE MY DOGS FURRY A@$!!
Color: Printed, Pattern Name: Giraffe, Color: Printed, Pattern Name: Giraffe
Let me be completely clear with you all and state that I did NOT go into this purchase honestly believing that the toy would never break or tear. Everything breaks at some point or another. Now that being said, should the company use the word INDESTRUCTIBLE? 🤔 No, absolutely not! One day, that's how long this "indestructible" toy lasted. In less than 24hrs the neck was fully detached from the torso. After the complete non-aggressive decapitation things began to get messy. The head has three broken seams and the torse has four. The stuffing for the toy took longer to pick up and vacuum than the actual toy lasted intact. My dog is not a chewer. He adores playing TuggaFetch(a little light game of tug of war with a nice round of go fetch all in one session). That this toy couldn't even make it a week is sad, but the fact that it couldn't stay intact for less than a day is utterly pathetic and laughable! If your pooch loves to just sit and stare at his/her toys and not play with them then this product is perfect and ideal for your dog! Everyone else, sorry but you gotta keep looking. I feel like I paid this company to force me to vacuum my tv room 5 times in an 8 hour time span. 😩
