THE TRUE WORSHIP
By John Blackburn
Chapter Two. 126 pages
ISBN 1 85307188 9

This book is from the stable of the Plymouth Brethren, and argues for simple worship - that is, worship unadorned by any musical accompaniment or anything else those Brethren deem 'unscriptural'.

There are good things in this book, undoubtedly. It is warmly and well written, with a sometimes poetic (though old-fashioned) feel to it. Its emphasis too, that worship is not merely outward acts but a heart condition, is undoubtedly Scriptural.
