About this ebook

A unique view of Christian worship around the world (with free streaming video!)

Get ready to travel the globe and experience the beauty of Christian worship like never before. From the Rising of the Sun takes you on an unforgettable journey, showcasing how believers from all corners of the earth praise God in ways that are consistent with Scripture but faithful to the local language, customs, and culture. And here's the best part--this book includes a code for free streaming access to a 12-episode video series, so you can witness these incredible moments of worship for yourself!

Starting in Fiji, you'll follow the sun as it rises and sets, moving through Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and beyond. Along the way, you'll meet brothers and sisters in Christ who worship amidst stunning landscapes, vibrant cities, and remote jungles. From the hymns sung in Korea's bustling metropolises to the prayers offered in Zambia's open plains, you'll see and feel the unity and diversity of God's people.

Each chapter invites you into the heart of a country or region and includes:

  • Beautiful descriptions of diverse worship.
  • Fascinating travel anecdotes.
  • Meaningful Bible studies.
  • Reflections on worship.
  • Discussion questions.
  • A video session to enhance your experience.

Whether you're passionate about global missions, fascinated by cultural diversity, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of worship, From the Rising of the Sun will inspire and uplift you. Take this unique opportunity to celebrate God's glory through the voices of believers worldwide, and see how the Gospel unites us all.

Join this global symphony and experience a taste of Revelation 5:9 as we, along with our brothers and sisters worldwide, worship the One who by His blood has "ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."
