Worshiping with the Anaheim Vineyard: The Emergence of Contemporary Worship - Paperback

by Andy Park (Author), Lester Ruth (Author), Cindy Rethmeier (Author)

THE CHURCH AT WORSHIP is a series of documentary case studies of specific worshiping communities from around the world and throughout Christian history--case studies that can inform and enrich worship practices today.

This Church at Worship volume tells about the Anaheim Vineyard Christian Fellowship and its remarkable influence on the entire Vineyard movement, which contributed to the renewal of worship in thousands of evangelical churches during the 1970s and 1980s.

In presenting an in-depth look at founding leader John Wimber and the Anaheim Vineyard's early years, Andy Park, Lester Ruth, and Cindy Rethmeier tell an inspiring story of revival and renewal among people desperately hungering for a deeper knowledge of God. Enhanced with interviews, sermon excerpts, sidebars, timelines, and photos, Worshiping with the Anaheim Vineyard addresses core issues for all Christians desiring to know and worship God more intimately.
