Following up on her best selling Reaching Out without Dumbing Down, Marva Dawn offers biblically grounded, experience-based insights to help churches navigate beyond today's destructive worship wars and to stimulate renewal in the worship and life of congregations.

The first major section of the book examines the postmodern, media-saturated, consumerist culture that makes worship difficult yet absolutely essential. The next section focuses on keeping God at the center of worship. Other sections of the book explore issues of taste, forming faith in children, word choices, hospitality in worship, and the challenges of being church for the world. The book also includes nine Scripture-based sermons and questions for further discussion.

In contrast to writers who advocate worship for utilitarian purposes, Dawn concentrates on worship's royal dimension, its God-ward focus. A Royal Waste of Time amplifies Dawn's earlier argument that churches need to wrangle seriously with the true purpose of worship in order to employ the tools and forms that best enfold participants in the splendor of worshiping God. Only worship filled with the splendor of God, Dawn writes, will lead to genuine adoration of God and faithful formation of his people.

Cotton
Color: Blue, Size: Medium
I was impressed with the quality of this shirt. My son wears it to church. It is cotton. It washes and irons like the cotton shirts from years ago. I like cotton so much better than blends even though it must be ironed after washing. The shirt looks high end.

Light green is gray, but still good shirt
Color: Light Green, Size: Large, Color: Light Green, Size: Large
Light green is basically gray with a very slight green hue. Not a deal breaker, just not very green. Great fit and decently thick. Haven’t had to deal with many wrinkles and but not too think to be uncomfortable.

Perfect Fit & Feel This Striped Oxford Shirt is My New Wardrobe Essential!
Color: Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I’m obsessed with this Men’s Long Sleeve Oxford Shirt! The 100% cotton feels incredibly soft and breathable against my skin, with a tailored fit that flatters my body perfectly. The subtle stripes, button down collar, and chest pocket give it that polished yet relaxed vibe. It’s wrinkle resistant, holds its shape wash after wash, and transitions effortlessly from office to date night. Comfortable, durable, and stylish easily is the best Oxford I’ve owned. I highly recommend it!

COOFANDY Men's Dress Shirt
Color: Denim Blue, Size: Small
I’m very pleased with this shirt—it’s actually the third one I’ve purchased from this brand. The quality is consistently excellent, the fit is great, and it truly lives up to being wrinkle-free. It looks polished and professional right out of the dryer, which makes it perfect for business wear. I’ve had such a positive experience each time that I’ll definitely continue buying from this brand.
