Steele, Richard
In this work on worship, Steele is at his best as a theologian of the heart, providing the reader with deep insight that does not require a scholar to interpret. Pay particular attention to the section where he shows how Satan will attempt to disrupt our concentration in worship by causing us to think about sermons when we ought to be praying, and by enticing us to pray when we ought to be listening to the sermon.
