How Majestic Is Your Name

“How do we worship God? It seems common sense that we listen as God tells us what pleases him. How Majestic Is Your Name helps us listen as McConnell presents a topical survey of biblical teaching on worship. This book is well structured, comprehensive in its contents, and contemporary in its applications. Anyone teaching on worship or leading services will gain from this book. Likewise for believers who are serious about treating God as God.”


—David Burke, Christ College, Sydney





“‘The Bible sees worship as the beginning and the end of mission,’ asserts McConnell. But what is worship? Driven by a deep commitment to learn what the living God desires of his worshipers, McConnell looks carefully at both Testaments and provides rich theological reflections. McConnell presents the contemporary church with a reliable and inspiring guide as to what Scripture teaches about the width and depth of biblical worship.”


—Michael Widmer, Hokkaido Bible Institute





“This is a much-awaited, highly recommended book for pastors, seminary students, worship leaders, and all who seek biblical and theological studies on the worship of God, as well as its practical implications and contemporary applications in individual and corporate worship life.”


—Myrleene Grace Yap, Singapore Bible College





“How Majestic Is Your Name is a rich, expansive, and profoundly biblical book on true worship as service, reverential fear, and bowing down to our God. It reminds us that worship is not a forty-five-minute event each week but a twenty-four-hour-a-day awareness of the presence of God in everything we do. The church has been waiting for this book for a very long time.”


—Michael Card, singer-songwriter and author





“Carefully written and biblically thorough, How Majestic Is Your Name will prove to be a valuable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive biblical theology of this vital but easily misunderstood theme.”


—Alan Wilson, Irish Bible Institute





“Walter McConnell has written a wonderful and much-needed theology of worship. . . . Readers will learn new things about worship and be challenged to bring their own patterns of worship into greater conformity with biblical models. How Majestic Is Your Name would make an excellent textbook. Passionate, competent, and clearly written, here is a book that will have lasting impact.”


—Timothy Wiarda, Gateway Seminary





“Walters’s book is a timely reminder of the richness and depth of God’s understanding of worship. There is nothing shallow or ‘me-centered’ in this book. We swim in the depths of biblical teaching and experiences. . . . I honestly believe that as we read, new doors of understanding will be opened. We will worship the Lord more wholeheartedly. We will serve him more obediently. We will love him more passionately. Thank you, Walter, for this great book!”


—Ken (Fanta) Clarke, Bishop, Church of Ireland





“How Majestic Is Your Name invites readers to know the triune God whom we worship and proclaim. Such a theological disposition is evidence of the God-centered commitment of the author that has been crystallized after years of ministry as a church planter, theological educator, and director of international mission research. . . . I highly recommend this book because McConnell ushers us into worship that is Trinitarian, scriptural, and pastoral.”
