Publisher's Description
Most believers understand that worship is not a compartmentalized aspect of the Christian experience, but rather it is the motivation--the driving force--behind all that we do and are. We exist to worship God. For years we have been basking in God's love and worshipping Him with uplifted hands and hearts. Now we need to go deeper and see that God is also an awesome, mysterious being who should engender our silent, even dumbstruck, reverence for His holiness, His "otherness." Until we are undone by the knowledge of who God is in all His glory, we will only touch the edges of true worship. Matt Redman says, "When we face up to the glory of God, we find ourselves face down in worship." This book shows the biblical record of those who found themselves prostrate before God.

“Matt Redman has been uniquely raised up by the Lord as a new generational voice to not only stir hearts to worship but also to focus the formations of truly understood and powerfully pure worship to God. Without question we are at a watershed point in the renewal of worship, mandating we discern the difference between the worship that merely inspires us and the worship that dramatically transforms—between the merely postured stance and that which brings us facedown.”
Dr. Jack W. Hayford
“Facedown is a beautifully crafted and poetic book. But much more than that, it’s a profound insight into the glory of God. While reading this book, often I would have to place it down and humble myself before the Lord. I was left challenged, convicted and inspired. This is a devotional book that I’ll want to read again and again.”
“Facedown is a unique and brilliant book. Matt’s teaching and poetry inform the mind and warm the heart.”
