How to Worship Jesus Christ treats worship not as an element of a church service but as the believer's central occupation. Joseph Carroll distinguishes worship from praise and from thanksgiving, examines the biblical pattern of approaching God, and gives practical instruction on how a Christian may come daily into the presence of Christ, with attention to the hindrances that keep believers from doing so.

The book is short, devotional in tone and intensely practical, and it has circulated for decades among believers seeking more than a routine of duty in their private devotions. It suits personal reading, small groups studying worship, and those whose prayer life has become petition without adoration.
