Chief end?

CREATED TO PRAISE
By
Derek Prime
Christian Focus. 127 pages, £7.99

Famously, the Shorter Catechism tells us that the chief purpose of our lives should be ‘to glorify God and enjoy him forever.’

This book by Derek Prime is both excellent and important as it seeks to encourage us to become people whose lives are truly filled with the praise of God. The author begins by explaining and proving that heartfelt praise is indeed intended to be our chief purpose in life. This is followed by a brief consideration of God himself, deserving of all worship, the magnificent object of our praise.
