{ "item_title" : "Sacrifice of Praise", "item_author" : [" H. G. Bishop Raphael "], "item_description" : "What if the highest calling of your life was not service, mission or even prayer, but praise? In Sacrifice of Praise, H.G. Bishop Raphael invites you to rediscover one of the most beautiful and overlooked parts of Christian life. More than music, more than routine, praise is the soul's response to God's presence.Known for his lifelong devotion to the hymns and praises of the Coptic Church, Bishop Raphael follows the story of praise through every stage of salvation history, from the silence after the Fall in Genesis to the song of the Lamb in Revelation. Inside, you will discover: How the earliest praise arose in response to God's mighty acts in the Old Testament.Why David the Psalmist called his worship a sacrifice, and what that means for us today.The role of praise in the dark days of exile and captivity.How the Lord Jesus Himself took part in and transformed the ministry of praise.How the Apostles redirected the songs of the Temple to the glory of Christ.The biblical songs of Moses, Isaiah, St Mary, Zechariah and the heavenly hosts, woven into Christian worship.You will also understand why the Coptic Orthodox Church gives whole nights, from midnight until sunrise, to the praises of God in the Tasbeha: not out of obligation, but as a foretaste of eternity.With an introduction by H.G. Bishop Moussa, this book is for youth servants, chanters, priests and every believer who wants to understand the meaning behind the Church's hymns and vigils. Whether you stand in the midnight praise, read the Psalms at home, or are just beginning your journey with God, it will help you enter into praise with understanding and joy.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/76/384/159/1763841596_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "26.00", "online_price" : "26.00", "our_price" : "26.00", "club_price" : "26.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
