Product Description
Where Do You Worship?

Not everyone may frequent the church on the corner, but we each have a place of worship. For some, it’s at the office. For others, before the mirror. Still others, on the basketball court. You were created to worship! So you naturally find a place to do it. But to worship anything less than God robs both Him and us. It’s at the foot of the cross where we reel, trying to comprehend how a holy God could chase us down with kindness and redeem us from an eternity of futile gods. In this newly revised and refreshed edition of the original The Air I Breathe, you’ll find your sense of worship increasing beyond church walls or a Sunday routine. Soon all of life becomes your delighted response to God!

Everybody Worships Something



What captures your time and attention?



We are all worshipers…of something. But are we spending our lives and filling our days with what matters most?

Newly revised, The Air I Breathe will awaken you to the reality that worship is more than a service on Sunday. It’s every moment reflecting God’s glory and grace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some needed clarity on this thing called WORSHIP!, July 4, 2004

By	Benjamin J. Snyder "the schneeed" (Toledo, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Air I Breathe: Worship As a Way of Life (Hardcover)

Loui Giglio, founder and leader of the Passion network, an organization that has heavily influenced the worship music sung in churches all over the globe writes about worship as a way of life.

There is so much hype these days in church about the worship. Many times it is easy to assume that worship is purely the singing or hour you spend in a church building on Sunday. This book will challenge anyone who desires to honor God, to take another hard and honest look at what they worship.

It is a short, but poignant read! It will not take you long to finish the book, but it may take you a lifetime to fully embrace and live out its message.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great!, June 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Air I Breathe: Worship As a Way of Life (Hardcover)

It is great to see a book from Louie Giglio. God has used him to impact my life in a huge way. This book is especially good because he puts into print a teaching that the whole church needs to here. Worship is more than songs, styles, or services, it is living our life to and for God! If you are on a church staff read this book together. If you are trying to get your church to understand worship, then read this book and tell everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most important book I've read, August 10, 2005

By	Mo - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Air I Breathe: Worship As a Way of Life (Hardcover)

In full time ministry with Campus Crusade for Christ a lifetime and been to a couple of seminaries. Of all the books I've read, this is one of the most important. Simple but not simplistic - a short book that shifted my paradigm on worship. For me, it brought together major strands of thoughts that the Lord has been working in our team's hearts via readings of John Piper, Jonathan Edwards, and John Eldredge.

A hearty recommendation for all. Wish this book was translated and distributed widely around the world.
