Stories are powerful. Now, in and of themselves, the stories are simple. They are eyewitness testimonies, written by Christians from around Hull and East Yorkshire, and in a few cases, friends from further afield.Each eye witness account tells a story that simply shows that God is alive and well in this little corner of England, that prayer works, that Christianity is more than mere theory and that normal people can have access to a supernatural God, who longs to be involved in our lives.In essence, each story says "I had this problem. I asked God to help. He helped me!" - and when you read what some people are saying God does when we pray, I think you will be flabbergasted, or in local vernacular, gob-smacked!Maybe you've never thought that local doctors, school teachers, solicitors, council workers, young mums and counsellors are praying and asking God for miracles - but they are! In fact, it's very common in 21st century England!

Have we replaced the glory of God with our church programs. If so, is there anything we can do to get the glory of God back into our gatherings and individual lives? While we have good music, well-written songs and history to learn from, we can still miss having the presence of God in our meetings the way it was in Bible times. In this challenging and often provocative book, Jarrod Cooper deals with these important questions. Providing plenty of biblical illustrations to support his concerns, Jarrod shakes up more of our conventional thinking on the subject or worship. Can we for example only worship in the presence of the microphone, worship leader and powerpoint. What if all these were stripped away and it was just God and us? What would our worship be like then?
