| John Miller’s upcoming release invites readers to reconsider the relationship between worship, tradition, time, and spiritual formation SUGARCREEK, Ohio – “The Good Samaritans: From the Well to Worship in Spirit and Truth” (published by WestBow Press) by John Miller is a thought-provoking new work that examines how inherited worship structures and rhythms quietly shape Christian belief and practice over time. Drawing from Scripture, church history, personal experience, and historical research, the book challenges readers to revisit the words of Jesus in John 4: “You worship what you do not know.” Rather than approaching worship primarily as music style, doctrine, or denomination, Miller argues that the deeper issue may be the unseen structures that form believers week after week, generation after generation. Central to the book is the idea that sacred time itself — weekly rhythms, feast days, inherited calendars, and traditions — plays a formative role in shaping how people understand God, worship, and community. The book moves from the biblical feasts and the Samaritan woman at the well through Rome, the Reformation, Sabbatarian Anabaptists, and modern evangelical culture, asking whether inherited frameworks still align with the worship the Father seeks. “This is not a book written to condemn sincere believers,” Miller explains. “It is an invitation to examine what has been shaping us and to rediscover worship in spirit and truth.” Early readers have described the book as “deeply grounded in Scripture and church history,” “challenging in the best way,” and “a serious, thoughtful examination of inherited worship rhythms.” Reviewer Justin Rhodes of “The Rooted Life” writes: “This isn’t a shallow read; it’s a book that dares to question long-held traditions and shines light on how worldly systems have reshaped God’s rhythms.” Miller’s perspective is shaped not only by years of biblical study, but also by lived experience. Raised in an Amish background and later building and transitioning a manufacturing company in America, he approaches theology not merely as theory, but as something embodied in real life and passed from one generation to the next. At its heart, The Good Samaritans asks a deeply personal question: “What if some of the structures shaping Christian worship have been inherited so deeply that we no longer recognize them as inherited?” The book ultimately calls readers not toward reaction, but toward reflection, clarity, and transformation. “The Good Samaritans: From the Well to Worship in Spirit and Truth” By John Miller Hardcover | 6 x 9in | 274 pages | ISBN 9798385079131 Softcover | 6 x 9in | 274 pages | ISBN 9798385079155 E-Book | 274 pages | ISBN 9798385079148 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble About the Author John Miller is a businessman, Bible student, and speaker whose work explores the relationship between worship, formation, inherited tradition, and biblical time.
