Description

Taylor Field takes us with him in his provocative probe into Scripture, where he writes, "God turns our normal expectation of devotion and worship on its head." Often, we think of worship and devotion as attending church, singing, journaling, and so on. Yet Upside-Down Devotion reports that unless we stand for those in trouble, we have missed what pleases God--and that God actually hates our signs of devotion, despises our worship, and rather finds it disgusting. Coining the word do-voted, Field's fresh narrative, based on 25 years of ministry experience and service to thousands of individuals, including people on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, will have readers changing perspective on how to define worship.
