"the best book on Pentecostal worship there is"
Special thanks to Jonathan Black
I’ve gotten my first review on my recently-released Resurrecting Worship: A Pentecostal Liturgy for Slow Burn Revival (Cascade, 2025).
Jonathan Black, pastor, scholar, and author from Northern Ireland and living in Wales, has generously engaged my book. It’s a thrill to see my work blessing people I’ve yet to meet.
Here’s a few highlights of what Jonathan says:
Today I want to enthusiastically recommend an incredibly good, brand new Pentecostal book — Resurrecting Worship: A Pentecostal Liturgy for Slow Burn Revival by Joseph M. Lear.
There is nothing at all non-Pentecostal about Eucharistic worship! Lear sees this and wants us all to see it too. “Pentecost represents the trinitarian fulfilment of eucharistic worship. In other words, trinitarian and eucharistic worship must result in Pentecostal worship. And to be Pentecostal means to live in the last days in the power of the Holy Spirit.”
This is currently the best book there is on Pentecostal worship. So get it and read it!
