The purpose of this book is not to debate the theological, style or cultural issues of worship expressions. The primary theme is that of finding the balance in corporate worship expressions - blended worship. While there may be moments in the life of a worshipping community where risky and sweeping changes are prudent, this is not the primary context for this dialogue. When these changes are done with loving visionary leaders, a positive outcome can be achieved. This book will help leaders carefully think through how they process change in their congregation's worship expressions in such a way that worship tensions are avoided. It will also challenge leaders to take ownership of their motives and actions in dealing with worship tensions in the local congregation and to be willing to change if necessary. Ultimately, the goal is to divert or derail division in the church. Throughout this book a theme will be explored and at the conclusion of each section there are questions or thoughts for personal reflection. As you read, treat this writing as meditative. Do not simply skim familiar scripture passages; rather, read them slowly so they can speak to you in the context of this dialogue. Take time to thoughtfully and honestly consider the thoughts for reflection at the conclusion of each section.

Learning to think like God is an ongoing voyage. No discussion of God's thoughts could ever be considered exhaustive. Master Mind began the journey. Mind Renovation is another step along the way. Like that old house that inspires one renovation project after another, the process of our own mind renovation will, most likely, be an ongoing undertaking until the day we meet the Master face to face

After nine years of a difficult ministry in an Ontario housing complex and the deaths of my father and brother, I plunged into the deepest, darkest hole you could imagine. As anger, fear, depression, and loneliness engulfed me, I poured out my emotions. - God, who are You? - God, if You love me, show me. - God, why didn't You protect me? I asked God to guide my healing process and give me the right books to help me heal. God answered my prayers. He led me through a five-year healing journey which drew me into an intimate relationship with my Heavenly Father. He gave me a craving for studying His Word and spending time in His presence. Each time I cried out to my Heavenly Father in agony, He answered me with a scripture or passage. By the end of the five years, God had given me over three hundred scriptures that helped me heal.

The pundits of television and radio, friends and relatives daily feed us an endless stream of well-meaning advice in how to successfully deal with life's vicissitudes and problematic situations. We are pulled this way and that way like rudderless boats cast upon a series of huge waves caught in a tempest by whomever or whatever exerts the most influence upon us at any particular point in time. Our life has no direction, but that which is imposed upon us by events and seemingly knowledgeable people. In Barbara Engels' newest book, When Two Worlds Collide, the author through continuing the story of the Cole family dares to suggest to the reader that he 'be still'. In a world where we feverishly turn to Oprah or Dr. Laura or Dr. Phil or any other popular expert for our daily dose of advice, it is radical indeed to tell the reader to 'be still'. Engels dares to suggest that we do the unthinkable and when the ominous black clouds of a problem swirl about us that we 'be still', and let our Creator speak to us and solutions will be found. When Two Worlds Collide is excellent in that it tells a great story, but on a deeper level it makes us stop and think about our relationship to God and how through communing with Him we may bring our lives back on track.
