Product Description

God wants us to be more than aware of His presence. He implores us to be awestruck by it-literally consumed with passion and adoration! How do we reach this state? By totally surrendering to God through worship. Facedown shows why we need to go deeper into the wonder, awe and mystery of God's presence. Only then will we find ourselves lying prostrate before the Lord-facedown in worship. The premise of Matt Redman's newest book is grounded in three biblical examples-Ezekiel 1, Daniel 10 and Revelation 7-which all reveal that the worship going on before the heavenly throne is facedown. All believers will be exhilarated by this heaven-sent beacon as it lights their way to being undone by God's eternal glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging! Inspiring! Biblically-Solid!, July 14, 2004

By	Mark D. Roberts "markdroberts-dot-com" (Boerne, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Facedown is a companion volume to Matt Redman's album of the same name. But don't think it's just a fluffy little book meant to make some money off the popularity of the CD. Facedown is a well-researched, well-written, moving treatise on worship as a response to God's majesty and glory. Redman, an extraordinary songwriter, is also a fine prose-writer. He makes his points clearly and elegantly.

Every worship leader and worship songwriter should read this book. But it's not just for worship insiders. It will help every reader to worship God more fully and humbly.

I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow...just wow, January 5, 2006

By	Matthew S. Ludwig "The Lizard King" (Powell, TN, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Matt Redman released his CD "Facedown" and I don't think people really understood what he meant in the title, maybe they did, but they didn't completely understand it. Matt Redman puts that into his words in this book. Give us a totally new perspective of worshipping, on how it should really be. I must agree with him, how he says when you are truly worshipping you will be facedown before the lord, giving him everything you have. Everyone should pick up a copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, August 2, 2007

By	WIRed Mom (NY United States) - See all my reviews

I can't say enough about this book! It may be small, but it is incredibly insightful and inspiring.

If you're a worshipper (and we all should be) read this book.
