Is 9/11 a Call to Heal America?: The Wonderful World of Worship on Bended Knee

Description: The primary focus of this book is to determine if the Greek word for worship (proskuneo) used in John 4: 23-24 includes the concept of bowing the knees or kneeling. In the New Testament proskuneo is translated as worship sixty times. All of the worship events in the New Testament that included a form of bowing the knees or kneeling has been documented. This task was undertaken using five reliable sources of information or testimony: (1) the testimony of God or Scripture (1Corinthians 2:1) (2) the testimony of Lexicons or Greek dictionaries (3) the testimony of Bible translators (4) the testimony of history and (5) the testimony of Bible scholars. The book was written with all categories of readers in mind: worship leaders clergy college professors Seminary students Bible scholars teachers graduate school students Pastors lay people seekers and is suitable as a textbook in all Bible classes that include the subject of worship. Endorsements: His thoroughness scholarship and faith are obvious. Kneeling is part of the Catholic mass (the liturgy).

Strickland Monsignor and Rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Tyler Texas Dr. Ralph Rowe has written a full-throttled book on kneeling before God Almighty our creator and redeemer! In this must-read for every worshipper Dr. Rowe powerfully reminds us we have denied the God-given command: Every knee shall bow. Ive been intellectually spiritually and physically moved to kneel before our Maker. -Greg Taylor is managing editor of New Wineskins magazine co-author of Down in the River to Pray: Revisioning Baptism as Gods Transforming Work (Leafwood 2003) and author of High Places: a novel (Leafwood 2004) It is indeed a privilege for me to endorse Dr. Ralph Rowes Book.
