Book: Spiritual Anorexia - How Contemporary Worship Is Starving the Church by Doug Erlandson
categories: Book, Nonfiction, Christian Music, Worship, Church, Liturgy, Christianity, Sacred Music, Pastors, TheologyDoug Erlandson

From the start, I felt passionate about this project; I did an extensive study of the history of worship, contrasting traditional liturgies in all their fullness with what passes as worship in many contemporary churches.
Spiritual Anorexia contrasts the historical role of preaching as the proclamation of the Gospel with various contemporary models (e.g., the moralistic, therapeutic, and teaching models) and shows how these models deprive the congregation of spiritual nourishment.
This book is for Christians who know their church worship service is missing something but aren't sure what it is. Worship leaders and pastors may also find this book helpful.
