Customer Reviews

Simple, profound & deep from the heart of worship
Facedown by Matt Redman is a short booked packed with the simple but profound understanding of the awesomeness, holiness and otherness of God. "To worship facedown is the ultimate outward sign of inner reverence." Matt paints a thoroughly Biblical picture of "the whole Christ", the mystery of a mighty God who cannot be explained in a sentence, the powerful "song of Creation" and the awesomeness of silence where His voice can be heard. It is a book that challenges holding a view of God that is only the cosy closeness, friendship and Fatherhood of the One who draws you near. It reminds you that God is also bigger than you think and to be held in great awe. "The friendship and the fear," both essential in order to hold a view of God that is worthy of Him. The more awesome you understand God to be, the more amazing His closeness and you will become "a soul so captivated by the Almighty that to bend low in true and total surrender seems the only appropriate response." A timely book packed with depth, good sense and wisdom. It will enhance and deepen your concept of the greatness of God and contains a lot that is worth chewing on. As Bishop Graham Cray writes in the Afterword "as you reach the end of this book, I advise you to read it again - slowly."

Facedown
Ranks with Matts music - well written and thought provoking. A must for worship leaders.
